Thanks for putting that up Rod. I wrote to him earlier this year but he was obviously not well enough to reply.

Might be worth contacting his son, who seems to have some interest in his Wallace portrayal...

It might also be worth contacting ITV3 or ITV4 to enquire if there is any chance they could rerun the 1975 drama (tribute to Longworth/Liverpool cuture tagline...).
It's the sort of show they sometimes air...

I wrote to ITV regarding them possibly screening WKJW? Here's their reply:
Thank you for your email. There are no plans for the programme to be re-screened on ITV.

ITV Viewer Services - TT
There you are - abrupt and to the point I suppose it must be hard work for them though sifting through the garbage they offer us...Looks like WKJW? will be confined to the dustheap for the forseeable future...

Shame about that, Mark. Was that just ITV1?
I have a contact at ITV3 [I was on Stuart Maconie's "TV Towns" last year, on the Liverpool episode], and will give him a ring...

It was the whole ITV network Rod. Good luck with that.

Anything on Wallace?

I think there is a chapter on Wallace - he said he would be covering the case in a chapter on it a few months ago. I'll probably get a copy sometime today online - (it's cheaper).
