Back in autograph mode with Leslie Phillips. This time at the Collectormania 12 event in Milton Keynes. Leslie’s wife and Bond girl, Angela Scoular, also made her convention debut under Robert’s wing. Along the way there were wonderful moments with Dr Who legends Tom Baker and Lis Sladen, Firefly’s Jewel Staite and Star Trek favourites Ethan Phillips, Robert Picardo and Marinda Sirtis.

Helping actor, writer and all-round good egg, George Layton, put together a show-reel of classic clips to illustrate his cruise lectures. An unforgettable day wallowing in everything from ‘Doctor in the House’ and ‘Dr Who’ to ‘The Sweeney’ and ‘Confessions of a Driving Instructor’.

The Radisson Hotel, Heathrow for the signing convention, Autographica, where Robert was working with legends of acting Leslie Phillips, Bernard Cribbins and Liz Fraser. A wonderful event. The ultimate treat for Robert was to meet original Please Sir! eye-candy, Penny Spencer.

Robert joined fellow guests Liz Fraser, Rosalind Knight and Hattie Jacques biographer Andrew Merriman, at the Calthorpe Arms, Bloomsbury, where the Carry On-Line members were holding a mini-convention.
