Hi Jackie,
Today i saw John again in Folkestone, this time with his children. I
saw this vision of 'HEAVEN' walking towards me...cor this man is the best
eye candy i have ever seen in my life, all of the pictures you have on yr
website do him no justice at all, his hair was a little longer, smart but
casually dressed but looking like Adonis.
Yet again John spoke to me, no luvvy dovey leave me alone I'm an actor
stuff! His children were as gorgeous as him.
I was proudly walking around the town with my son in law and 27 hour
old grandson, feeling euphoric,so seeing john; finished off my 'perfect'
day. Thank you John, you are such a sweetie.
I did mention to John about the website, he mentioned he knew about it
and he hadn't started it himself, oh bless, so modest, so john, if your
ready this, you made an old women very happy, sorry i intruded into a
special time with your children, i walked away and thought .... bum, i
didn't take a picture of you!!!! i swear you really looked
soooooooooooooooooo handsome today.
Yet again. . . . . . Marianne Burniston xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Moon and son and you were very kind to put the advert up for me, as I love

Im still looking for episodes.
Much love and keep up the good work;

Hi Jackie!
First of all I want to congratulate you with your beautiful site! It 's
very practical (for example: for John 's fanaddress!) and nice to take a
look at it from time to time.
Since half a year John Michie, alias Robbie Ross from "Taggart", is one
of my favourite actors! I like the series very much, but in belgium our TV
- channel "Canvas" doesn't often send it out. So, I've asked why it is
like that. They've answered me that only four parts of the series come out
every year. I couldn't believe my eyes! Is it really like that? And wh,
exactly? If it's true, I've got a big problem, because I think the Taggart
DVD 's don't exist in Belgium. Am I right? Or is it possible that the
English DVD 's are subtiteld in Dutch?
Thanks for your help!
Bye!
Chiara Bernagie (Belgium)
Jackie - Hi Chiara - Sadly what you've been told
is correct - they only make 6 new Taggarts each year and they are rarely
shown as a whole series. As for DVDs - there is a company that posts
Taggart DVDs around the world -
www.johnwilliamsproductions.co.uk but as
far as I know they do not come with subtitles etc.
Dear
John and Carol
I would just like to say a big thank you for letting me intrude on what
is obviously precious time together and off from filming,and there i come
totally intrude and ask for a photo, brash old londoner me! John, it was
sweet of you to ask if i wanted to be in the picture too, bless you, i do
not take a good picture.
Obviously, i told, sent and bored everyone to death but it made an old
women happy that someone as big as you we're polite enough to pose. The
question they all asked what we're you both doing in Folkestone? it's a
nothing town!!!
Thank you once again x
A new fan now

This current series of Taggart is one of the best I
think. We've seen some good acting from all the cast. John was certainly
outstanding in In Camera. I really enjoyed that episode, really felt for
him when that horrible undeserving woman clawed his face and his wonderful
"well its okay darling, you can be angry, we've both had a difficult day"
attitude, that doesn't happen in real life! My husband would certainly
never acknowledge that I could possibly have a bad day!! Then there's
certainly times too when I've felt like hitting him with a rolling pin, my
husband, not John!!!

What
am I going to do Thursdays at 9 now nothing worth watching in my recliner
chair with my bottle of Baileys, videoed all the series though so there is
plenty to keep me going.
I
must say its been a brillant series with great story lines and great
acting "in Camera" was of the best in the programmes although out of
character for Robbie to show his feelings and the not phoning from the
house about the murder "naughty boy" but lets face it thats what we love
about him. Burke covering for him and Jackie and Stuart also doing the
same shows what a good team they are. Must say with a smile on my face I
am glad he didn,t get with Evie it would have changed his character and
lets face it we all love him as he is.
In
Mind over Matter last Thursday it was nice to see Jackie putting the past
behind her finally now over Mike Jardine a very good part was played by
her in this.
Can't wait for the next series to more drooling over John.
Always going on the logging on the Taggart and John Michie site to keep up
with whats going on. Keep in touch with any news as always very
interested.
Thanks

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for the picture, is excellent! Do you have any episodes that
you will recommend? The ones with lots of John in it? (like the one shown
on TV two weeks ago)
Marie
Marie - I can recommend - Skin Deep, Watertight,
Fistful Of Chips and Fearful Lightning as particularly good Robbie
episodes!
10.02.05
Hi
Jackie,
Came
across your site tonight while looking for info on John Michie! I’ve been
a fan of Taggart for ages, but only in the past couple of episodes have I
come to realise how gorgeous John Michie is!
Anyway, I would love a keyring – but choosing a picture is hard! I think
I’ll opt for picture b with picture g on the other side. Can you e-mail me
your details so I can get a cheque off to you?
Thanks Kerry
03.02.05
Hi there,
I noticed tonight's episode of Taggart is the last in series. Do
you know when will the next series be on TV? And will John Michie
still be DI Ross?
Thanks
Marie
Jackie - There are still another 3 episodes yet
to be shown but at this stage I'm unaware of when that will be. Rest
assured though Marie, there will be plenty more DI Ross!!
Hi Jackie,
Thanks for the information. Is sad to know I have to wait for a
while to see more Taggart on TV. I am a new John Michie fan, only
seen 2 episodes of Taggart but really like him already. And yes, I
have seen his website and is great!
Marie
05.02.05
Hi Jackie
Just thought I drop you a quick e-mail to say thanks for sending the
pic of John as DI Robbie Ross so promptly, it's great!! ..... look
forward to receiving a signed version once you get more for the Website
- I added it to my wallpapers on my PC at work, but had to
take it off again, as I couldn't get any work done for looking at
it - those eyes !
I hope you're not offended but I am going to send you some 1st class
stamps, as it wasn't until I received the pic, that I realised that you
may have had to cover those costs yourself.
Keep up the good work.
Kind Regards

Here is a picture of John and Taggart fan
Louise Brady with John. The photo was taken at a charity even last
November in aid of The Scottish Youth Theatre:
18.11.04
I'm not sure what's happening but since I've received the
signed photo of
John Michie with his thanks I have not been able to pass it without a big
smile. I think I'm completely under his spell. It's amazing! I didn't
expect any reaction like that... First the photos from John's birthday -
very nice indeed. And then the envelope from Glasgow... I don't know what
to say.. Hmmm... I begin to fall in love (;-)) with John Michie, I suppose
;).
And my Andrzej will have to knock a nail into the wall and hang the photo
on (ha,ha). What a jazz...
With lots of love
Agnes (Agnieszka) (Poland)
18.11.04
He did!
He replied on my letter I sent with his birthday!
Well
not actually "replied" but when I came home I found a letter from
Glasgow on the stairs. There was a(nother) photo of John in it. And he
signed it with "Victoria, love John Michie -X-"
Now I
have 3 the same photos of John :P, one in my dairy, one for my desk and
one under my pillow :P
21.10.04
What a wonderful job
you've done with your site!!I absolutely love it!At the moment I am
having withdrawal symptoms as we don't get Taggart on our tv.Every
saturday we get British crime on our tv and all the shows have to take
their turn...Fantastic that you got to meet John...I am so envious!No
not really,it would be lovely to meet him myself but being stuck in
Belgium I don't have much hope!!Maybe next year I'll go to Glasgow to do
some "sightseeing" and hopefully get a chance to see them filming and
meet the man himself.Now that would be a dream come true!!!
Lots of love from
Belgium,

Hi Jackie
Your report on visiting
the set of Taggart was very exciting. I envy you being so close
to John and talking to
him! You made marvellous pictures and did a really great job.
Many thanks!!!

I dont
speak English very well, so it will be difficult to me to say all what I
think about John Michie. So I tell the main thing.
He is a
very talented actor. He manages to play people with different
characters. And this is very important. Im happy
that I
have found this site, because in Russia we have no any information about
him .
(Correct me if I said smth wrong)

Hi Jackie, forgot to mention in the last
email that during filming (at the Mitchell library in Glasgow) round the
corner from my house, I was so lucky to meet the man himself - John! As I
was working in the local chip shop part time over the summer (I'm back at
uni now) my boss - may I say he must be the best boss ever as he asked
John to come into the shop for a minute just to say hello and have a
picture taken. He was so nice to talk - not that I could say much! But he
was well sexy and I just want to say to John, if he reads this thank you
sooooo much it has made my YEAR!!!!!! Thanks, speak soon, Louise Brady
xxx
Jackie - Hi Louise, your comments
about John don't surprise me - he truly is a fantastic guy and I'm glad he
made your year for you. Mine too!!
16.09.04
Hi jackie, just looking
at the website, it sooo good especially the John Michie website, think
he's brilliant and sooooo good looking! Just thought I'd say hello to
someone who has some taste! Please keep in touch, 'cos this stuff is
really good. Thanks Louise Brady xxx
Jackie - Thanks for your kind
comments Louise, its always nice to hear from a fellow John Michie fan!!
29.08.04
Hi,
I saw 'Taggart' and it was the first time I
saw you. You're really great!!!
I want to act when I'm a bit older. (I'm
just 16) I played in little films.( Only knowed in Belgium)
Maybe, one day, I play next to you.
Hopefully.
Now, I'm still waithing for the next time
there is 'Taggart' on Canvas. (From Belgium)

I've just discovered the Taggart club site and the John Michie site -
the latter is fantastic! Well done! It's informative and well resourced
and linked - I'm thinking of opening a photo folder for John Michie
pictures but my family will just tease me!! Could I have a postcard of
John please? Many thanks and keep up the good work with the site!
Carol Wardroper
Jackie - Of course you can.
I'll get one sent off to you.
20.08.04
My passion for John Michie has long outlived my affection for my last
boyfriend! I agree that he's gorgeous and has added something
exceptional to Taggart. I loved the episode where he nearly seduced
Jackie but his ex-girlfriend got there first. Please email me if there
are any piccies available.
Thanx
Jac.
Jackie - Yes I still have some postcards available, I will get one
posted off to you!!
18.08.04
Jackie,
I think you
did a great job making a site about Taggart and specially about John
Michie. Here, in Belgium (Flanders), we can enjoy seeing Taggart every
Saturday night. And yes, of course I would like to have that postcard of
John Michie. He is so cute! Thanks!.
Love, Val
25.07.04
Jackie
Thanks for the info re John's website. I actually only discovered it
recently, having looked many times in the past it was a fantastic
surprise to find that there is now somewhere I can log onto whenever I
need a drool ! I'm really impressed with it. Well done on what you have
done with it so far. Keep up the good work!!
I am very envious that you will be on the Taggart set in
September. Despite often visiting Glasgow I've yet to stumble across
any filming or any of the cast. I did sit on the same stool "Robbie"
did in scene filmed in Pret a Manger but that's as near as I've got to
meeting the man himself! I work as a civilian in the police in Fife
but unfortunately our DI's don't quite match the calibre of the ones
in Maryhill.
Feel free to post my e-mail address on the site.
Cheers

Hey Jackie.
I (also) like your site very much.
Let me tell you how I started to like John.
I was in Sweden this week (July 9 til July 23) and the first Sonday was
Wire in the Blood on tv, serie one episode 1. We (my parents and
I) thought it was very good. The next week we watched it again, and it
episode 2, with John. Now I have to say that I really love Scottish men,
like Sean Connery and Ewan McGregor, and I also fancy older men.
Today, I seeked the internet about Wire in
the Blood on imdb, en I found his name. Later, I went downstairs to get
something to drink and my parents were watching a crime serie, it was
Taggart, and I just had told my parents what "the serie in Sweden" was
called. I saw John and I pointed at him and my mum said "Yes that's him
isn't he?" So I turned my tv on the Taggart, and I started to search for
fan site, and I found yours.
I laughed about this one:
Since Taggart placed him
firmly in the public eye John has been fending off suggestions that he
might be the new James Bond. " I think it's because I'm from Edinburgh,
I've got sticky out ears and I used to be a milkman".
Because I'm a Sean Connery fan. I think John
looks very much like the young Sean Connery. Here you can find pictures
of the younger Connery:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000125/photogallery-mptv-0 and don't
forget to look at the next pages!
By the way, how old are you? I'm just 14
(almost 15!), like I said, I fancy older men
Cheers,
Vic(toria) from The Netherlands

To Jackie
Great to at last see a site on taggart and especially
John Michie, I,ve always been a big fan of taggart and a bigger fan of
Robbie, he
comes over sexy, funny and a lovable rogue.
Shall be checking in on a regular basis to find out
more about John and pictures are great.
Well done Jackie

Hi,
how can I get a real photo of John with autograph?
Sabine Benthuys from Belgium
Jackie - You can write to John via -
John Michie, c/o 'Taggart', SMG, 200 Renfield Street, Glasgow, G2 3PR.
22.06.04
Jackie,
I deal in magazine back copies, and I just
came across this is Australian "Who Weekly" for June 15th 2002. I
thought it might interest you, though John Michie is at the back and
rather blurred.
Teresa
Jackie - Thanks Teresa, I
am happy with anything about John, no matter how blurred!!
16.06.04
Hi Jackie,
I've just returned from walking the
dog, during which I checked my PO Box. To my great joy and surprise I
found an envelope from you with the picture/photo in it. I think I
floated home! I wanted to rip it open straight away but instead decided
to savour the moment and carried it home very carefully, after all it had
travelled thousands of miles so I couldn't let anything happen to it in a
5 minute walk. It was beautifully flat, so thanks for the DO NOT BEND
warning - it worked. It was also beautifully presented inside the
envelope in its plastic sleeve. All I have to do now is work out where to
put it!!
Thank you so much for posting it and
also for all the fantastic work you do on the site. I greatly appreciate
it.
Cheers,
Wombat
23.05.04
Dear Jackie,
I just wanted to let you know how much I
like your site. You have obviously put a lot of work and love into
it!
Congrat, also, on receiving a letter from
John Michie. You must feel wonderful to know that he approves and
supports your efforts.
Warmest Regards
Teresa Fogarty
Jackie - Thanks Teresa,
yesterdays letter was my second contact with John, and your right it makes
all the difference to know that he likes what I've created for him.
When I set up the site I wondered whether I was doing the right thing and
nearly stopped on numerous occasions!!!
22.05.04
Hi there Jackie,
Just wanted to say that I love your site.
I watched Taggart on Friday night (21.05.04) and was totally hooked again.
I was a massive Taggart fan but have to admit I lost interest when they
killed off Jardine. But now I'm right back into it again and have
looked out all my videos. Do you know when the next episode is due
to be screened? meanwhile I am going to order some DVD box sets!!
Great site, I will be a regular visitor!!!
Love Mary xxxx (Ireland)
Jackie - I can recommend
www.clearvision.co.uk
for Taggart DVDs. The nest episodes scheduled for England aren't
until September, I'm afraid I don't know if this is different for you in
Ireland. Glad you enjoyed 'Compensation' though.
13.05.04
Hi
I was just looking and came across your
great website. Thanks! I watched the latest Taggart and wondered do
you have any pictures of him from that episode? he looked sooooooo
gorgeous in the black shirt with his chain showing... Phoraw!!!!!!!!
Thanks for a great site will def be
checking up on site.
Natasha
Jackie - Just for you Natasha, here
are some pictures of Robbie Ross in Taggart episode 'Compensation'
01.05.04
I actually was asked out for dinner last
night but left early so I could watch it before bed and I was not
disappointed.
A actually remember the foot and mouth
crisis as our area was hit very badly, not one farm in the area where I
live kept their animals. I thought it was well handled.
Also, Robbie is very naughty. He
doesn't waste any time does he?! I laughed out loud when I saw what
he did to poor Stuart, and it was good to see that Stuart has a bit of a
temper, he always seemed so wet.
And so to Robbie and how fit he was
looking. Given that he spent most of the episode in casual get-up
(or naked and alone in Stuart's bed), he looked wonderful. I
actually think he is looking younger everyday. Well, every episode.
He looked younger last night than he did in Atonement. Maybe he's
hit the Just For Men. Maybe not!
I really enjoyed last night's episode and
cant wait for the next one. Robbie forever!

Jackie and Fellow JM Fans,
Robert and I have just returned, hot foot,
yet again from Glasgow, having taken two of our grandchildren back to
their rightful owners after the Easter holidays!
Whilst in the City, we met our cousins,
Frank and Margaret, who had themselves just returned from an Easter break
up at Aviemore, in the Cairngorm mountains. They were bulging with
news!
Only three days previously, on Thursday
15th April, in a snow blizzard, they had been sitting in the ski-centre
restaurant at the top of the venicular railway, when in
walked..............John Michie!!!!!!!!
He sat down at the table next to them, with
his son, Sam, and John leaned right across Frank to place his gloves on
the radiator to dry!! Margaret's eyes popped.
Margaret said that he was SO good looking -
MUCH BETTER than on television - and very unassuming - and his soon is
tall and lean and looks like him. She told us that they didn't speak
to John because he was obviously on holiday himself and they didn't think
it fair. WHAT RESTRAINT!!!! However, she says she'll view
Taggart in a whole new light from now on.
How's that for a snip?
Come on fans, I'm sure that we could
arrange a proper, organised John Michie meeting if we tried!!!!
Regards
Valerie (full of envy)
Jackie - Ah, so that's why John looked so
fit and healthy in the picture featured in the Evening Times this
week....all that fresh mountain air!!
15.04.2004
Jackie and all John Michie Fans
There is a Poirot film (Adventure of the
Cheap Flat) Sky Plus at 20.00hours Monday 19th April with a very young
John Michie. Valerie says everyone should watch it (I assume she
means the ladies!!!!!)
Regards
Robert
Jackie - Read the review of this programme
on the TV&Theatre page!!
06.04.04
Dear Jackie,
I too thought I was alone out here.
It's a great site and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks John
would make a great James Bond. I'm just sorry I missed him In
Portsmouth as I live on the Isle Of Wight and have family over there.
Do you think he'll do it again this year, or perhaps 'Walk the Wight'?
Keep up the good work and I'll definitely
be a regular visitor. Any ideas when we can expect the next Taggart?
What happened to March 8th? I missed that too.
Pat
Jackie - Worry not Pat, you
didn't miss anything on 8th March, Taggart wasn't shown. The last I
heard there were plans to show the next episode on 30th April. So
fingers crossed!!
24.03.04
Jackie this is for your fan page on john-michie.co.uk
I really like the bit in Skin Deep when
Robbie starts telling Jackie what to do, and she says " yeah I'll just let
the boss know what we're doing, yeah?" and gets up. Oh and the bit
when Stuart says "What shall I do?" and Robbie says "Well when you've got
your pinny off you can man the phones" and walks off. he's so
horrible to him! Oh well - I've never really liked Stuart anyway...

Thanks for a wonderful site Jackie!
There's so little information online about John (I know, I've looked and
looked) so it's great that you have a whole site dedicated to him.
What I love about John is that not only is he a great-looking guy in one
of the best shows ever made, but he also has the acting talent to match.
That's a rare combination these days - looks as well as talent. So
many actors these days get by on just their looks alone - but not John -
his strength is that he's such a great actor as well! I love
watching Taggart and think all the actors are great, but John really
stands out as Robbie Ross. He's so charismatic. I hope he
continues with the show for a long, long time, but he also deserves to be
a big international star. Don't you think he'd make a great James
Bond once Pierce Brosnan "retires" ? Do you think the powers that be
would listen to us?! ;-)
Thanks again Jackie
Cheryl from Australia
Jackie - Thanks Cheryl.
John as James Bond? No complaints from me!! During John's
commentary on the film 'Monk Dawson' he comments on a scene where he is
wearing a black dinner jacket and dickie bow that its his audition for
James Bond!! Shall we start a campaign???!!!
23.02.04
Hello
I love your site, I'm a fan of John's too
and once offered him an astrology chart etc (as thats what I do for a
living) and he was sweet enough to send me a signed photo, I can send you
a scan of it if you like.
I was emailing to ask a favour, I was a
huge fan of his drama/comedy series "Moon and Son" and lost all the
episodes in a move of home once, I've been trying to find some ever since,
you don't happen to have any that I could copy do you? I'll pay you
of course (or do you a reading or something if you like?) Also I'd
love a copy of Bare Necessities. I know its a pan of me to ask but
I'd be ever so grateful.
Anyway just thought it was worth a try,
great site anyway!
Love and light
Tristan Morell xx
Jackie - Unfortunately I am
unable to help Tristan, can anyone else out there assist?

Claire sent me this picture after beating
me to it on Ebay, luckily she agreed to send it to me so that we could all
see it!! Thanks Claire!!
02.02.04
Hi Jackie,
Thanks for your email. I checked out
your site, can't say that I knew who John Michie was before, but he looks
familiar to me now. I put a pretty high bid on this as I wanted to
win it as I worked for two days during production of Monk Dawson as an
'extra' in some of the scenes (John Michie looks familiar to me now, in a
scene with Martin Kemp. They had to re-shoot a scene cos I was
looking into the camera, whoops, wasn't looking for stardom, just
interested in what was going on ;) I also spent a day as a 'runner
preparing a location for one of the scenes in the old Mirror offices on
Wordour? street, just off the embankment in London (Westminster).
That was my brief, but very interesting career in the movie industry!!!!
I've never actually seen the movie, I
didn't think it went on general release! But it's been on DVD now
for a couple of years! I'll be sitting with the remote, fingering
hovering over the pause key trying to spot myself!!
Keep up the good work on the site.
Best Regards, David
Jackie - David sent me this
email after the beat me to an item on Ebay - a Monk Dawson script signed
by Director Tom Waller. Sounds like it went to a good home!!
31.01.04
Hi Jackie,
I just wanted to congratulate you on your
fantastic web-site. I've been a huge fan of John's ever since the
character of Robbie Ross first graced our scenes and, as Gina put it, he's
gorgeous! I've also got a fab picture of "Robbie" as the wallpaper
on my PC at work which certainly helps brighten up the day (and is tons
better than the pics of Messrs Brosnan & Clooney that my female colleagues
are sporting!!). I've just bought a copy of "Monk Dawson" on DVD and
I love the banter between John and Tom Waller during the audio commentary
that is one of the extras.
One of my favourite Robbie scenes in
"Taggart" is in "Bloodlines" when he's supposed to be on surveillance with
Stuart at a house in a remote part of Ayrshire. Whilst Stuart is
firmly shut in the kitchen (with "strict instructions not to leave his
post") and his eyes trained on the house a 100 yards away where Jackie and
the woman they are protecting are sleeping, Robbie is in the lounge
seducing the woman who owns the property on the sofa. The rather
startled look on Robbie's face, when Stuart crashes in on them after
spotting what he assumes to be an assassin, is priceless - talk about
coitus interruptus! Stuart then dashes off to warn Jackie leaving
Robbie running after him in the pouring rain whilst frantically trying to
get his clothes back on. I love the rather withering look Jackie
gives him as finally he appears in the doorway, soaked to the skin, rather
breathless and buttoning up his shirt.
Bloodlines is also the episode in which
Robbie finds out Stuart is gay which leads to some great repartee between
the two as Robbie can't resist taunting Stuart about it. In
particular, when they go to the home of a man who has been writing to
Susan Keller in prison, Robbie tells the suspect that there's nothing
wrong in that as people often right to film stars and sport personalities
adding (with a nod at Stuart) "my colleague here used to write to Take
That all the time" to which Stuart responds "Actually, sir, it was Boyzone."
Once again, congratulations on a great
site.

Jackie - Thank you Karen, I
have kept some of your email back as evidence for the "Jackie loves
Robbie" page. We seem to be on the same side!!
The commentary extra on the
Monk Dawson DVD is excellent, John is very witty and it gives the listener
a real insight into John the actor.

Hi Jackie
I must admit I'd never heard of John Michie
before tonight, nor watched any Taggart. But having just enjoyed
John's portrayal of Tony Fitzjohn in "To Walk With Lions" I was left
asking just one question: Why the hell don't we see more of this
talented actor, especially in films?
Good luck with site (nice work) and next
time you email John tell him he needs a better agent! :-)
All the best
Rob Ryder.

Dear Jackie and fellow John Michie fans-
I am really pleased that this site has been
made! I love John to bits and over the course of only a year, I have
really learnt a lot about him, and this site just sums it up! So
thanks Jackie!!!! Hannah
Jackie - You are more than
welcome Hannah, I really enjoy doing the site but it's nice to know how
much it is appreciated by all, so thanks!

Hi
I discovered your page yesterday while doing some research
about Taggart. I am a 30 year old French fan, and it was broadcasted
here from last September to last December. France 3 channel were
supposed to put on air episodes shot from 1997 to 2002, but it stopped
after Wavelength without any kind of explanation in the good old tradition
of French public TV. Moreover some episodes totally vanished (among
them, For Their Sins). In others, no John, then he was back...then
we were introduced a new cop in the Maryhill fine team....named Robbie
Ross!!!!!! (I even learnt that Strathclyde is...a city!) so just imagine
how easy it is to follow the lines! At the end I gave up and my
sister in Japan is going to record everything for me from "Rogues Gallery"
to the new episodes in English...I am going to suffer A LOT because of the
Scottish accent...but dear John is not responsible for this at least,
being the only one I quite understand! God bless him! But that
is a good training after all.
I was very happy yesterday to read on your page that
"Death Trap" would finally be released on March 8th! I cannot wait
to see it. I am a fan of John Michie, he is incredibly good and
gorgeous, and also of James MacPherson (especially of james MacPherson, I
shall say.....:) )
I read that you have been able to watch
the doc made for the anniversary of the series. How lucky! If
its not even broadcasted in England (shame on them!), don't even think
about France! Please can you tell me if James MacPherson is in it?
I wonder as he has been part of the team for long enough, but he was no
longer! and another question: is Mike Jardine throttled or "only" knocked
unconscious before being dumped in the Clyde? I read both and don't
know what to believe!
I found an article along time ago about
John, being quite severely injures while he was on set of Walking With
Lions. Did you read about that? If not, I will try and find it
again for you. Just tell me!
Will you make a page for every member of
the Maryhill Team or only John? Anyway, keep up the good job!
Gwen, Normandy
Jackie - Jardine was hit
on the head from behind as he looked into the water. The impact of
the blow caused him to fall in.
It would be nice to have
a site for each member of the Taggart cast, but I'm not sure I could give
them the time and dedication they deserve and besides John's MY favourite
and not just as Robbie!!

Dear Jackie - I know it's weird right,
because I'm only 13 (bless me), but I really fancy John, and love watching
him on Taggart. Just wanted to say THANK-YOU FOR THE WEB PAGE You're
a true fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jackie,
U know I was beginning to think I was the
only one out there thinking this guy is gorgeous!
Well done on the website, it's fantastic. I
was meant to be working from home when I happened to check my e-mails, saw
Taggart digest and followed the thread........
Just don't feel like working now!!!
Again well done
Looking forward to seeing what else you add

Hello from Australia
Great Web Page and well over due!
Taggart is my favourite show and I think
John Michie is a great actor, when he first joined the cast of Taggart I
wasn't convinced he'd be any good as a detective but he soon proved me
wrong.

Dear Jackie,
Great Web Site, my wife went ballistic when
I showed her it.
I met John Michie when he started, and took
part in, "The Great South Run" in Portsmouth during October last year.
He was very pleasant to speak with (even after running 10 miles - and let
me take his photograph - which I later sent to him). He was good
enough to return signed copies for my wife and my step daughter.
Valerie and I are often in Glasgow visiting
relatives but to date have never "bumped into the filming" of this great
show. One day perhaps!
I started pestering STV and ITV about
"There's Been A Murder! in December last year - too no avail. More
fans are needed to pester ITV, so come on.
I am lucky that I have family in the
Glasgow area who have videoed the programme for me.

Dear Jackie - I've just been on your fan
site - it's fantastic!!!!!!! We should have one for Blythe Duff as
well. I'd do it, but I don't know how to set up a website.

I was just on your website, the John Michie
fansite and I have to say that it is great. I live in Scotland but
missed that programme on Grampian so if it is still lying around, could I
please have a copy as I actually live on the street, Cecil Street, where
it was filmed and was gutted to have missed John. I really wanted to
meet him but he wasn't there when I plucked up the courage to wander along
the lane.
Great work though! Take Care. Claire
