John Thaw nominated for viewersΒ’ show of 2001


The late John Thaw has been nominated in the only category decided by TV viewers at this yearΒ’s British Academy Television Awards, sponsored by Radio Times.


The actor, who died in February, is named today on the shortlist for the Lew Grade Audience Award, sponsored by Radio Times, for his starring role in ITV1Β’s drama Buried Treasure.


Last year, Thaw won the Lew Grade Audience Award for Inspector Morse, and also received the trophy in 1999 in recognition of Goodnight Mr Tom.


Buried Treasure faces competition from A Touch of Frost starring David Jason, who has also collected the award twice. The three other nominees are EastEnders, the documentary series The Blue Planet and the sitcom My Family.


The British viewing public have 10 days to vote for their favourite programme. The winner will be announced at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on Sunday 21 April, in a ceremony hosted by Chris Tarrant.


The full list - and the telephone numbers to vote for each programme - is as follows:


A Touch of Frost 0901 111 4470
EastEnders 0901 111 4471
My Family 0901 111 4472
The Blue Planet 0901 111 4473
Buried Treasure 0901 111 4474


Full details are printed in this weekΒ’s Radio Times, out tomorrow, and online at .


Last month, Radio Times printed the initial shortlist for the Lew Grade Audience Award, consisting of the 20 shows that attracted the highest viewing figures in 2001, excluding films, news, repeats and sport. Votes from the magazineΒ’s readers determined the final five, which now go to a second stage of voting through Radio Times and Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2.
