Violent and uncompromising, the series changed the portrayal of police work on British television and was one of the defining dramas of the 1970s.
He married Sheila Hancock on 24 December 1973 in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
His first great success, though, was as Detective Inspector Regan in The Sweeney (1974).
1984 In the play 'Pygmalion' with Peter O'Tole playing Doolittle.
For Inspector Morse (1987), Thaw was yet again cast as a policeman, but this time a more cultured character than Regan. The leisurely-paced series, set in beautiful Oxfordshire, was Thaw's most popular and long-running project.
It established him as British television's most bankable actor, and during the 1990s he had many other starring vehicles.
He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1993 Queen's New Year Honours List for his services to drama.
He was a heavy drinker until he gave it up in 1995.
Awards include C.B.E., a B.A.F.T.A Fellowship and in 1998 a Special Recognition Award.
In June 2001, he was treated for cancer of the oesophagus. His wife, Sheila Hancock, had been a breast cancer survivor.
A memorial service was held for him at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London on 4 September 2002.
He lived quietly in an 18th century manor house in Wiltshire, England.
