Robert is interviewed for the Big Finish podcast with regards his forth-coming Doctor Who CD release, ‘Assassin in the Limelight’, available from May. Later, Robert joined Larry Dann and other friends and family of the treasured Paul Cole for his surprise 65th birthday party at the BBC West Club. Much white wine and happy memories were shared!

The big day at Pinewood Studios; as a wooden bench, fireworks and a three-course meal celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Carry Ons. Robert enjoyed ‘hanging-out’ with old friends from the series including Leslie Phillips, Valerie Leon, Jack Douglas, Jacki Piper, Norman Hudis, Larry Dann, Terry Longdon, Richard O’Callaghan and Hugh Futcher. Here’s to the next 50! Robert, despite a few gin ‘n’ tonics during the day, appeared with Valerie and Norman on BBC Five Live after 11pm. And the interviews – from BBC Berkshire to the Sunday Post – continued to be requested. Listen and look-out for Robert Carrying On over the next few days.

An early morning start for Robert as he was driven to the BBC for an appearance on the Breakfast news. Two segments; one before 9am and one before 10am covered the 50 years of Carry On with clips from favourites like Carry On Nurse and Carry On Cleo and talk of the new film, Carry On London. Then it was back in the car to spend some time (and money!) at the Westminister Film Fayre where good friend Shirley Anne Field was signing.

Several radio appearances with regards the 50th anniversary of Carry On as well as an enjoyable return to Channel 4’s Richard and Judy; this time in the company of glamour girl Valerie Leon and celebrity fan Kate Robbins.

Filming is due to start shortly with a possible release date late this year.

Just recently Robert has been very hard at work putting together material and interviewing contributors for several comedy-based biographies, the subjects of which will be revealed as and when. Meanwhile, ITVDVD have released the eagerly awaited second volume of ‘The John Mills Collection’. The set features seven more classic films: Car of Dreams, Brown on Resolution, The Way to the Stars, The Long Memory, Above Us the Waves, The Vicious Circle and Tiger Bay. The remastered prints come complete with cast and crew profiles by Robert, stills galleries and an exclusive audio commentary with Sir John’s daughter, Hayley Mills and Robert, on Tiger Bay.

The Pinewood event in memory of James Robertson Justice with a British Comedy Society plaque being unveiled in the Hall of Fame and James Hogg’s autobiography, What’s the Bleeding Time?, launched. Muriel Pavlow, JRJ’s co-star in Doctor in the House, Doctor at Large and Murder, She Said!, was the guest of honour. Huge thanks to John and Olive Gatenby and all at Tomahawk Press for a wonderful tribute to a larger than life English eccentric.
