Ghost hunting in the Lanes
In York - Europe's most haunted city - he researched, scripted and performed in two ghost shows: Fright Night and, moreover, The Ghost Cruise, which featured on BBC Television.
Showing his true self
During this period Rob appeared in several Yorkshire
Television productions including - Heartbeat, A Touch of Frost, Where the Heart is, The Life and Crimes of William Palmer and, for a time, became a bit of a barfly in Emmerdale. In 2006 he fulfilled a long-standing ambition by being invited to appear as Herod in the famous York Mystery Plays.
