Robert will be signing books and joining Carry On Abroad and Bless This House movie babes Sally Geeson and Carol Hawkins at the NEC in Birmingham for Memorabilia on 26 and 27 November.  Other guests close to Robert’s heart include the delectable Jenny Hanley, Mr Cool Peter Wyngarde, Pier Pressure guest star Doug Bradley, the stunning Caroline Munro, the dream maker Ray Harryhausen, Huggy Bear himself Antonio Fargas, American Werewolf David Naughton and Sid Haig, Lon Chaney Jnr’s bizarre ward in Spider Baby.  Further details at http://www.memorabilia.co.uk/.

Granada Ventures release The Greatest tv Trivia Quiz dvd.  Robert worked on this release specially compiled to celebrate 50 years of ITV.  Neil Fox hosts the fun and clips span the entire history of commercial television with such favourites as The Adventures of Robin Hood, Rising Damp, Inspector Morse, The Prisoner and The Darling Buds of May featured.  It’s the perfect family game for Christmas!

Like most eager Dr Who fans Robert relished the early part of BBC’s Children in Need appeal with a brilliant pre-Christmas teaser from David Tennant’s new Doctor.  He’s nailed it! Still, the comedy highlight was Catherine Tate and Barbara Windsor staging a verbal battle in the Queen Vic.  Bothered?

The Big Finish website unveil the final design for Robert’s up-coming Dr Who adventure, Pier Pressure. A link to the page, complete with down-loadable trailer and an opportunity to pre-order the January release, has been added to the ‘Doctor Who’ page here.

An uncredited photograph of Robert, along with the cast of his Dr Who play Medicinal Purposes, appears in a feature on Big Finish in the December issue of Dreamwatch magazine. It focuses on the star names the company attracts including Colin Baker, David Tennant and “the venerable Leslie Phillips”.
