A heavy day of meetings is lightened by Kelly Brook guest-starring with the Parisian Crazy Horse girls in ‘Forever Crazy’. Give me a Ding! Give me a Dong! As for me, I’m off to join the Chain Gang!

I pushed forward with my own Unbound project, ‘Forgotten Heroes of Comedy’, with beers and banter with John Mitchinson, Justin Pollard and Terry Jones. The book is coming soon!

Fun and frolics with Clive Doig, Bernard Holley, Toby Hadoke and the gang. The evening saw the book launch for Adrian Teal’s ‘Gin Lane Gazette’ from Unbound. Suitably enough, it was at the City of London Distillery.

A dead secret filming assignment for BBC television. A brilliant, closely-knit crew prove, once again, why the Beeb are the best broadcasting organization in the world. Always remember that!

It’s a welcome return to the Cinema Museum for the Michael Medwin interview tomorrow from 7.30pm. As an actor, Medwin starred in the first film Sid James made, ‘Black Memory’. He gave a memorable cameo as Kenneth Connor’s boxing manager in ‘Carry On Nurse’ and a wise-cracking turn in ‘Doctor at Sea’. In partnership with Albert Finney, Medwin became one of the most influential film producers of the 1960s and 1970s. Later work included the television series ‘Shoestring’ and the Mel Smith comedy ‘Colin’s Sandwich’. It promises to be a wonderful evening.

Robert is interviewed for the thriving on-line comedy community ‘Comedy Blog’. A shameless platform to shout about the ‘Forgotten Heroes of Comedy’ it also gave him a chance to chat about his many other books, DVD projects and other comedic ventures over the years. Click here to go to the interview.

Robert has been up to his fangs in horror films (for fun) and old variety playbills (for research) as work continues on the ‘Forgotten Heroes of Comedy’ book. You can still pledge your support at the Unbound website www.unbound.co.uk. A rare Friday evening out and about, it was spent in the drinking company of Terry Jones, Michael Palin and ‘Viz’ founder Simon Donald. So *sort* of research then!

The month long Halloween Countdown is well under way. One of the highlights looks set to be Karloff biographer Stephen Jacobs in conversation with Boris’s daughter, Sara. The event takes place at the Cinema Museum on the 10th. Beg for a ticket… http://www.cinemamuseum.org.uk/2012/boris-karloff-stephen-jacobs/

A lunchtime session with Bernard Holley and Clive Doig, fueled by beers and giggles and enhanced by semi-regular Toby Hadoke and newcomer – to the pub, not the stage! – Anthony Keetch. David Boyle joined the fun later and was forced into performing the odd Anthony Newley number. Comedy with Toby and Bob Mills at the 99 Club, Leicester Square was also added to the mix. What larks.

Robert returns to the Spain-based Talk Radio Europe to chat with Selina Mackenzie about Monty Python and, of course, Terry Jones’s involvement in ‘Forgotten Heroes of Comedy’. His third appearance on the show, plans are afoot to make it a regular, monthly slot. More information when we get it.
