Alas, Robert is unable to attend the ‘Living Legend’ dinner in honour of Barry Cryer OBE. Guests included Jack Dee, Harry Hill and Bernard Cribbins. The next British Comedy Society event is hoped to be a plaque in tribute to Graham Chapman to be unveiled in the Summer. The location? Why, a pub in Hampstead, of course! Cheers.

The notorious and always hugely enjoyable Best of British comedy lunch at B.A.F.T.A. in support of The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund. Guests included Vera Day, Francoise Pascal, Bob Golding, George Layton, Liz Fraser and Barry Cryer OBE. Jason Manford compered with good humour and grace while the sainted Don Ward once again provided a top line-up of Comedy Store talent for the cabaret.

A jaunt to the Wyndham’s for ‘The King’s Speech’. Charles Edwards and Jonathan Hyde star in the stage presentation of the Oscar-winning film with notable supporting turns from Joss Ackland as the old King and ‘Doctor Who’s very own Ian McNeice as Winston Churchill. It is a flawless piece of theatre. Sadly the production has had ‘time’ called and it must close on 12th May. You are urged to see it.

One hundred years to the day since RMS Titanic sank. The fourth and final part of Julian Fellowes’ ITV1 drama is broadcast this evening. The DVD, on which Robert worked, will be released tomorrow. Suitably, Robert joined his family in a day-trip to the SeaCity Museum in Southampton. A moving and exceptionally well put together salute to the history and legacy of the Titanic. Time for a few pints of Titanic ale as well. A tankard of Captain Smiths is in reserve for the drama this evening!

An emotional evening ‘Remembering Marty Feldman’ at The Cinema Museum. Sincere thanks to Robert’s good friend Henry Holland for chairing the event – an epic three-hours of nostalgic chat, good laughs and invaluable clips featuring Marty in such rare productions as The Wednesday Play: ‘Double Bill’, ‘The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother’ and ‘Slapstick of Another Kind’. Robert was particularly proud to welcome special guests Terry Jones and Derek Griffiths who reflected on working with Marty on the television shows ‘The Frost Report’, ‘Marty’ and ‘Marty Back Together Again’. A wonderful evening.

Camp laughs a-plenty with Robert remembering Frankie Howerd, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and John Inman for a Sky Atlantic three-part documentary series celebrating sixty years of gay comedians. It is hoped that the working title, ‘God Save the Queens’, is retained when it is broadcast in the Summer!
