This news on Monday really hit me hard ...

had the pleasure to talk to Robin twice at two Hexwood fetes and he seemed to me a very kind, down-to-earth and loveable man ...
last summer at the 40th anniversary he sat beside me watching the telling bone episode and told me he likes writing books for children ...
one of his last movie performances was named "One Foot In The Grave"...
... Geoffrey now is the sole survivor of the main cast of the first series ... but in our hearts all of them will live on forever ....

My love, condolence and all good wishes go to Venetia and her family .... a very hard time for them... but after all we knew death for him came as a release, this is the only little consolation ...

we will never forget you, dear Robin !

You are part of us and will always be with us !

His Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of Him as gone away -
His journey has just begun
Life holds many facets
The Earth is only one
Just think of Him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how He must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
And think of Him as living
In the hearts of those He touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And He was loved so much.

May I just offer my condolences to Robin's family. I met him once, at the signing of the Catweazle videos, about 1997 I think, and he was great. Thank you Robin for your part in the magic that has lasted all these years. Rest in peace.

Just to add my voice to everyone else here who are all so saddened by the news of Robin's passing. I can't believe he has gone, I spoke to him at length only last June at Hexwood and he seemed so fit and healthy. I recall how he felt it a little surreal that, as Geoffrey had said 2009 was his last Hexwood, he would be the elder statesman for the show at 2010's gathering. Robin was so generous with his time with me, I can say no more other than what a lovely, lovely man he was, he shall be missed. My sincerest condolences go out to his family. RIP Carrot

I heard from the tragic death of Robin and as we all, I'm very sad about that. As I never met him personally, I only know him as the boy "Carrot" (in Germany: "Harold") - and I'll keep him in my heart like that.

I take a little comfort in the fact that even if he's gone away from us, in the Catweazle episodes, he will still be alive forever. So, television can give a little bit of immortality to us at least - and this is magic.
