Robert was interviewed on BBC Radio York with regards the Radio Times list of television put-downs. Inspired by Gene Hunt’s glorious rants in Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, the selection included lines from such classic shows as Fawlty Towers, Dad’s Army and Blackadder. Just before 8am tomorrow morning Robert will be chatting about Brighton’s unique contribution to comedy on BBC Three Counties Radio. And later that day Robert discusses the topic: ranging from Max Miller to Carry On At Your Convenience, on the BBC1 South-East show Inside Out.

Robert will be attending a special tribute to James Robertson Justice at Pinewood Studios on Sunday 2nd March. The studios, the home of such JRJ classics as the Doctor films and Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang, will pay host to the British Comedy Society who will unveil a blue plaque to the great actor’s memory and James Hogg who launches his much-anticipated biography, ‘What’s the Bleeding Time?’.

The John Mills Centenary Collection is now available from ITVDVD. Featuring cast and crew profiles, stills galleries and a career celebration booklet compiled by Robert, the eight classic films featured are In Which We Serve, We Dive at Dawn, Waterloo Road, Great Expectations, The October Man, The History of Mr. Polly, Morning Departure and Flame in the Streets. A bonus disc includes Sir John’s personal home movies, ‘Moving Memories’.

The third Big Finish podcast goes live and features Robert picking his top 5 ‘Doctor Who’ audio adventures. The programme is introduced by Colin Baker, recorded during a break from his 6th Doctor duties on Robert’s forthcoming ‘Assassin in the Limelight’. Listen in at: www.bigfinish.com/podcast/

Huge congratulations to Jim Dale; who picked up the Spoken Word Album for Children gong at the 50th Grammys Awards for his essential reading of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’.

Robert managed to get along to the studio to watch a fine cast bring life to his Doctor Who play ‘Assassin in the Limelight’. It was lovely to chat to ‘his’ Doctor, Colin Baker, head of the Big Finish Doctor Who range, Nick Briggs, and the story’s director, Barnaby Edwards. Pros to a man. It’s no secret that the plot involves the assassination of President Lincoln and welcomes back the baddie from Robert’s first story, ‘Medicinal Purposes’. Once again the loveable rogue, Doctor Knox, is played by Leslie Phillips. The play will be released in May.

The first of two recording days on Robert’s latest Doctor Who adventure for Big Finish. ‘Assassin in the Limelight’ starring sixth Doctor Colin Baker will be released in May.
