A matinee performance of ‘Helen’ at the Globe theatre, a new version of the Euripides piece adapted by Frank McGuinness. Robert’s nerdtastic cup did over-flow thanks to Eighth Doctor, Paul McGann, romping over the stage as Menelaus and a fun chat with him after the performance.

Off to Walton-on-Thames for Vera Day’s annual birthday celebration and dinner. This year was slightly different in that Robert and close friends Henry Holland and Alan Coles had planned a lengthy filmed interview with the actress. Robert interviewed Vera in a relaxed and hilarious chat that covered her entire career including ‘The Saint’, cabaret, Boris Karloff, Sid James, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Laurence Olivier, Carol Reed, Marilyn Monroe and that notorious Woman Eater. Good times!
