Happy 61st birthday, Robin Askwith!



It doesn't seem like a whole year's gone by since I wished him a happy 60th birthday on this blog! Yikes, does time go by fast. Have a super fun one, Robin!

  1. Robin's looking great at 61, Su. I interviewed him on stage last weekend at Manchester's Festival of Fantastic Films - there are plenty of pics of the event at my Facebook page.

    The guys from Anolis Entertainment in Germany were at the same festival promoting their recent dvd release of Horror Hospital - this features a previous interview I hosted with Robin in Manchester in 2005, which Anolis say "has to be seen to be believed", as one of the dvd extras!

  2. A German Horror Hospital release? I will have to look for that! Especially if it has a Robin interview, wow! Thanks for letting me know!

  3. Yes Su, it was released in March/April in Germany under the title FRANKENSTEIN'S HORROR-KLINIK. As far as I'm aware, it's the only release of the film that includes my 50-minute interview with Mr. Askwith as an extra feature.

    My latest interview with him, last weekend, was also filmed but isn't likely to become available on dvd until late next year. Those who saw it thought it was just as entertaining as the first!

  4. I did find it on Amazon Germany but think I’ll wait to see if it comes down in price first. It translated into something like $45 before shipping. You don’t think the interview is dubbed into German, do you? I actually can understand a LITTLE German I don’t think I could fully follow a whole conversation.

  5. Su, it's in English with German subtitles! Although my Derbyshire accent might be difficult to follow even in English... luckily Robin did most of the talking!
