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 social diary is usually a closed book to these pages but he wants to thank the ever gorgeous Vera Day, Alan Coles and Henry Holland for a raucous lunch cum early-evening drink cum late-night laugh in Joe Allens and various pubs in the locale. Here’s to the next time!

After nearly two weeks of continual writing Robert took an enjoyable ‘day off’ to conduct four DVD audio commentaries for ‘Don’t Wait Up’ with the show’s creator, George Layton.
