Robert has recently taken part in a couple of online interviews, embracing this new-fangled ‘interweb’ thing. The B.O.U.N.C.E. radio station interviewed him for their ‘Breakfast with Foxxy’ slot, while a gaggle of enthused Goodies fans, the Giddies, caught up with him for a chat for their Goodies site.

Robert was delighted to be invited to a special Hammer Horror double bill at the Reel Cinema, Elstree. Marking the 50th anniversary of the company’s first Gothic horror film, Elstree Heritage are in their second year of celebrations for locally made films. Although he had to skip the screening of The Devil Rides Out, Robert couldn’t resist a bit of Scars of Dracula, especially as his good friend and Scars leading lady, Jenny Hanley, was in attendance.

Robert’s birthday resulted in a whistle-stop dash down to Brighton and fish ‘n’ chips on the Palace Pier with his mum and sister, and then a dash back to Charing Cross and the cosy confines of Alan Coles, Henry Holland and the Sherlock Holmes pub.
