There has been a syndicated interview with John Hannah in the press recently. A brief version appeared in the Canadian listings magazine Starweek, and a much more comprehensive version of the full interview in a UK newspaper. Although I do have the full text of this and was told it was from 15 October 2002, I have not yet been able to identify the publication. And finally, please forgive my inexpert presentation of JH News. Srah has had long-standing computer and internet problems at her school in France and asked if I would update JH News. I've never done this before and, although I have managed to convey the facts of the 'news', I haven't figured how to link film titles to pages on JH.net.

UK: 'Before You Go' has been available on DVD since 9 December. Check http://www.blackstar.co.uk for details. Some people have managed to buy the first three 'Rebus' films on DVD, and also John Hannah's episodes from 'The Bill'. 'Rebus', apparently, was issued and then withdrawn but should be available again eventually when whatever legal matters have been ironed out. Details of how to buy 'The Bill' in the future.
