A reminder that Robert will be attending the London Film and Comic Con at Earls Court 2 on Saturday 19th July. An outstanding line-up of guests including David Warner, Charles Dance, John Hurt, Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy and Christopher Lloyd, are joined by a full reunion of the Goodies. A talk with the legendary trio will be hosted by Robert from 11am while, in-between signing duties, an official photograph session will also take place.

Robert was a guest of the British Comedy Society, alongside Robert Lindsay, Zoe Wanamaker and other cast and crew, at an unveiling of a blue plaque to mark the 100th episode of popular BBC situation comedy ‘My Family’. Situated in Pinewood Studio’s Hall of Fame, the event was also attended by delightful BCS director Jenny Hanley. Hugs and laughs assured!

Robert is attending the ‘Bad Wolf’ convention in Birmingham this coming weekend; along with his Big Finish Doctor, Colin Baker, Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, the Doctor’s daughter, Georgia Moffett, and many other great guests from Doctor Who and Torchwood. On Saturday 19th July Robert will be at the Earls Court London Film and Comic Con, representing those glorious Goodies Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie.

It’s lovely to see BBC2 paying fitting 50th anniversary tribute to the Carry On series although rather than two factually-challenged, albeit beautifully acted, dramas wouldn’t an affectionate documentary and a screening of Carry On Sergeant been rather more apt bed-fellows for classics Carry On Camping and Carry On Matron?

Robert continued to put together two books, as well as some exciting special features for an upcoming situation comedy DVD release for Australian company Madman.

It was a case of Carry On Camping as Robert reverted to life as a student at the Wakestock Festival at Blenheim Palace. The Happy Mondays resurrected nostalgic raving but it was a white-suited Mark Ronson and friends who stole the show.

A hasty return to the National Film Theatre when Robert was invited to attend a screening of recently recovered material from ‘The Complete and Utter History of Britain’ introduced by the show’s creators Michael Palin and Terry Jones. Good conversation and good wine followed in the Green Room.

Robert enjoyed an evening of laughter at the Heritage Foundation’s annual ball and awards ceremony; hanging out with friends Valerie Leon, Juliette Kaplan and Shirley Anne Field, as well as delighting in a hilariously informal chat about ‘Doctor Who’ with Philip Madoc. Many thanks to the Foundation’s chairman David Graham for the invitation.

To the National Film Theatre on London’s South Bank to wallow in comedy writing greatness as Dick Clement and Ian Le Franais made a rare UK appearance. Discussing such classic programmes as ‘The Likely Lads, ‘Porridge’ and ‘Lovejoy’ with modesty and wit, this was a masterclass in intelligent writing. Thanks to Dick Fiddy for securing Robert an invite.

ITVDVD have released two more DVD projects Robert has worked on: the Special Edition of Jim Sheridan’s inspirational My Left Foot and The Margaret Lockwood Collection. This six film celebration features Bank Holiday, The Lady Vanishes, Love Story, The Wicked Lady, Give Us This Day and Highly Dangerous. 2entertain have released the second series of ‘Sorry!’ featuring Robert’s interview with star Ronnie Corbett.
