Full review
I thought John Thaw was one of Britains best actors ever, and l don't think l will ever forget his role in Goodnight Mister Tom. I think l could have watched the whole program just by using the expressions shown through his face and eyes ..... that's how good an actor he was.

I don't usually read biographies, they're not really my kind of reading, But one day l was watching the telly when Sheila Hancock was being interviewed (John Thaws wife). She was explaining how someone else had written an unauthorised biography of John Thaw, where some of the facts were not entirely true. So she had decided to write a biography herself, allowing her to find out a bit about Johns childhood, explaining how they came to meet, John's drinking problem, their brief seperation, Sheila's own battle with cancer and then finally there last, very happy years together. I decided that this was a book l had to read.

Titled "The Two of Us, My Life with John Thaw" the book is split into 20 chapters, each chapter alternating between Sheila and John's lives from the day each was born, leading on to their early careers, previous marriages to their own turbulant but always passionate relationship, and then finally ending with John's death and the year that followed for Sheila. Throughout the book there are some fabulous photos giving you that extra bit of insight into their lives. Amalgamted into each chapter are excerts of Sheilas diary again another personal touch which keps you wanting to read more.

The last few chapters of this book are possibly the most emotional l've ever read, leaving you with incredible admiration for Sheila, and feeling privaliged that she's allowed you to be apart of their life in a very small way.

I would recommend this to any John Thaw fan and even if your not it's still an incredibly moving, funny, emotional book that is an absolute must read.
