Hi Robert, I’m 15, I come from Germany and I’m a huge fan of yours!!!
I really like the character of Sir Edward Pellew, you are playing in Hornblower and I think you are a great actor, especially in history films.

Yesterday I got an unexpected call up to London as an emergency stand-in for a meeting. This evening I spent the time after the meeting watching Robert Lindsay in The Lion In Winter from the middle of the stalls. Happy days…

Posted by Adam Killeya • Jan 24, 12:46 AM

Dear Mr Lindsay,

I came to London at the beginning of December to see “The Lion in Winter” and had such a wonderful time that I have decided to come back for the last performance on 28 January.

I discovered your work a few years back, watching “Hornblower” and have now seen quite a few shows/plays/movies (adored “GBH”, laughed throuhgout “Nightingales”, was delighted by “Jericho”, loved “Citizen Smith” and – of course – “My family” and so on).

I humbly believe that you are one of the most versatile and gifted actors of our time and I do hope you will be offered many more roles worthy of your talent and keep us entertained for many more years to come.

Thank you for all the joy, laughs and tears.

Chapeau bas, monsieur l’Artiste :-)

Hi Robert
I am a huge fan of yours, have been since I saw you perform in Me and My girl many years ago.
I now have a talented daughter (others opinions, in the industry) who is desperate to make a living in Musical Theatre ideally or acting. I wondered if one of your children were keen,what advice
would you give them and where would you send
them at the age of 16 to train especially if money
Was an issue.

I reviewed Robert’s performance in TALE OF TWO CITIES by #CharlesDickens on #BBCRadio4 #RadioDrama Reviews www.radiodramareviews.com. #BBCiPlayer till 6 Jan. Any feedback would be most welcome!!

Dear Robert, Rosemarie, Sam and Jamie

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New year.

Hoping that ‘The Lion In Winter’ continues to play to packed audiences, and that Henry II enjoys his Christmas break which he so much deserves!!

We hope to come and see the play again before the end of its run in January.

Enjoy your Christmas and Have fun.
Love
Wendy and Alan

Dear Robert

Have a wonderful Birthday today. We hope that you will be able to enjoy some time with your family before heading off to the Haymarket Theatre this evening. Take care. With lots of love from Wendy and Alan

My dearest Robert,

have a wonderful Birthay, enjoy yourself, good health and lots of professional success!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

From Sandy…
with love and admiration♥

Posted by Sandra • Dec 13, 06:38 AM

Happy Birthday, Robert! I’m looking forward to seeing the Lion in Winter in January.

Cheers

Dear Robert,

Came to see you at the Haymarket last night. Stonking stuff! Thanks so much, for a great performance. So much sparky chemistry between you and Joanna Lumley (isn’t she majestic?) I was so excited to see that you would be starring in this play; I love this period of history, I love this dialogue and Trevor Nunn – of course – is a total legend. My Mum got me the tickets for Christmas. She lives abroad so it’s special for us that she can send me to shows she wants to see. This was especially good as even though she’s in her 50s and I’m in my 20s we both love you to bits.

Posted by Rebecca • Dec 6, 02:38 PM

Robert,

Wonderful performance in Hornblower. Although focused upon Ioan’s seafaring exploits, the immediate coordination is your focused performance as Pellew. You manage authority and humanity in a most engaging manner. I write this as I watch yet another stored episode.

Well done.

BTW, I was brought up on C Smith.

Posted by Mike Pepper • Nov 21, 12:05 AM

Dear Mr. Lindsay….you are one of my top five English actors and I love everything you do. I loved ‘Becket’ and ‘Onassis’ both of which I saw in London. I am looking forward to ‘Lion in Winter’ which I will see on my way back from L.A. at the end of November. I enjoyed ‘My family’ very much but, I would love to see you in another tv drama as good as..‘GBH’. It was wonderful. Loved your book. God bless you and your real family.

Posted by June Robertson • Oct 21, 04:05 PM

Loved Spy, great timing, looking forward to more, x

Posted by Stef • Oct 15, 12:35 AM

At the tender age of 57, I have discovered that I am infected with that “performance bug” which I suspect was always there.
Before reading my Stanislavki collection, I picked up a copy of your book since I knew that you, like me, are a Derbyshire lad.
Firstly, may I say that I thoroughly enjoyed the read and I can identify many parallels in our lives.
The one question that intrigues me is; how is it possible, when one has led a life totally devoted to acting, and having been surrounded most of the time by acting professionals, can one stay “in touch” with real life? This is probably the reason your talent has taken you so far.
From one ex sh*t shoveler to another, I salute you Sir.

Posted by Pip Price • Sep 15, 01:39 PM

Sat by you at the Ahmanson this eve. In some part it is because of you that I have a proper career in the theatre. 26 yrs ago I saw you at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Me and My Girl and that was that! Fab!
Cheers,

Hello Robert
My husband (Trevor) and I are watching a re-run of “My Family” here on the ABC in Australia. It’s been required viewing whenever broadcast for us as we love the writing and acting, particularly your interaction with Zoe Wannamaker. To say we laugh ourselves hoarse is an understatement.
I’ve been a fan of your Shakespearean acting for years and it’s a great privilege to be able to tell you directly how much we appreciate your work.
Bonza mate!

Dear Robert

We went to see the afternoon performance of Onassis yesterday. I LOVED the play, you totally captured the character and spirit of Onassis-a truly remarkable performance. I wish I could see it again!

Thank you for a thproughly enojoyable afternoon at the theatre.

Margaret

Hi Robert,
I am from Sri Lanka and you may be surprised to hear you are popular here like so many Brit actors and actresses. I have collected the entire series of ‘My Family’ on dvd and we have watched these many times over. My boys, 13, 11 and 8 enjoy this show immensely and even repeat the jokes. I hope you continue to work for many more years and do visit Sri Lanka and hopefully conduct a comedy workshop for the benefit of stage actors (drama society)of Sri Lanka.

Posted by Tony Perera • Jan 8, 05:41 PM

Hiya
A friend was very keen to see the play Onassis, at the time I had very little interest but went along to keep her company. I was very pleasantly surprised with such a brilliant production and your presence on the stage was riveting, thank you for a great experience I will be looking out for your next performance x

Posted by Shirley • Jan 7, 01:36 PM

Hi Robert

Really enjoyed your performance as Aristotle Onassis yesterday at the Novello.

Best wishes for 2011.

Dear Robert, Rosemarie, Sam and Jamie
We wish you all a Merry and Joyful Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2011.

Alan and I are so delighted that you have had such a successful run Robert in ‘ONASSIS’, both in your home town of Derby and in London which we have enjoyed. So- much-so, we are coming to see your wonderful performance again early in January! We shall look forward to joining in the standing ovation again at the end, which you so very much deserve.
Have a well-earned rest over the Christmas holidays.
Love to you all
Wendy and Alan

Posted by WENDY WILLIAMS • Dec 22, 12:33 PM

Dear Robert
Have just read a “critique” of Onassis by The Telegraph critic placing it in his “Oscar Awards” worst 5 plays of the year.
I can’t believe he was writing about the same play my wife and I saw last week at the Novello.We thought it was wonderful.
We thoroughly enjoyed the “story”, the musical sketches and the acting performances,particularly your own masterful portrayal of Onassis
The performance we attended received a most enthusiatic ovation at the end so I hope you and the rest of the cast will be encouraged more by this rather than one particular critic’s view.
Thankyou for a magical evening.

Posted by Eric • Dec 21, 06:55 PM

Dear Robert Lindsay, Just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday, and express my appreciation for all you fine work. Especially liked your performance as Sir Edward Pellew in the Hornblower series.

Dear Robert,
happy birthday by your groupie from Czech.

Posted by Jindra • Dec 12, 09:55 PM

Hi Robert, hope this finds you well. I loved watching you in Citizen Smith and simply adore watching you in My Family. It is a real belly laugh and makes us able to look at ourselves a little less seriously! I love the looks that you give one another and the pause which lasts a second longer than it should when giving an answer! Or the looks on your faces that you all pull. My Dad, actor Ted Webster, loved watching you in Citizen Smith. Dad is now in australia, sadly with Alzheimers. He worked alongside Richard O’Sullivan. Please thank all the cast -you are all brilliant! Take care.

Posted by Diane Forth-Eglon • Dec 6, 05:36 PM

Hello, Robert. My birthday present last week from my wife was tickets for Onassis which we went to see last Saturday. I would just like to say it was a great show that we both thoroughly enjoyed! We both hopefully look forward to seeing you again soon on stage.
All the best and have a great Christmas!

Posted by Steven Hargreaves • Nov 29, 04:07 PM

I just want to say how much I enjoy your perfromances in My Family, and being a middle aged man myself, I can really relate to the ‘family’ issues you encounter. Just started to read ‘Letting Go’ and am finding it hard to put down! I felt compelled to write having discovered that your father landed at Aromanches as my late father was also there as a young seaman. (I am proud to say he earned the DSM that day for rescuing comrades under fire). Thanks again for your excellent perfomances

Posted by Steve Ward • Nov 26, 08:31 PM

Dear Robert,
I will always remember your impressive performance in a television drama about 20 years ago, in which you played a rather rebellious butler in a northern household. The daughter of the house, played by Lindsey Baxter, decided to groom you to become a gentleman. It was rather like a male version of “Pygmalion”. I wonder if you could remind me of the title of the play and let me know if it is available on DVD.
Thank you for your exceptional work and contributions to charity.

Sonia Schmid

Posted by Sonia Schmid • Nov 21, 06:22 PM

I managed to see Onassis today, and your performance was outstanding. You do truly seem at home on the stage. I am emigrating to Australia on Sunday so it is unlikely i will get to see you on the stage again. Unless you head down under ??

I look forward to seeing what you next project will be stage or screen. keep up the good work x

Posted by emma • Nov 17, 08:47 PM

Hi, Robert.

I saw Onassis in both Derby and London, and thought it was wonderful. Thank you for signing the programme in the stage door on a very rainy night.

All the best for the rest of the run.

Cheers

Posted by Elizabeth McIntosh • Nov 7, 01:25 AM

Hello Robert you have been around a lot. Your very good in the BBC sitcom My Family, Drama Hornblower & other things. As Ben harper you must be the one who does all the work in the TV Comedy. You in my family are one of the best people. That you star with Zoë Wanamaker in the comedy. You as a father in real life with your wife and children. In your family life you must get on well with other people.

Posted by Josh • Nov 6, 04:43 PM

I can’t believe it, I think I may have walked right past you in Covent Garden on Thursday 4th November, at around 4pm. I looked right at you and you looked right at me, and for a moment I thought is it, isn’t it. But my colleague had to get the train, so I didn’t come after you with a pen and paper or my phone to take a picture. My kids are bitterly disappointed with me, as we all love your character in My Family and are all huge fans of yours. What a missed opportunity – maybe next time x

Posted by Dawn Jackson • Nov 6, 09:10 AM

You are a wonder! I was absolutely mesmerised by your performance in Onassis last night. All four of us were absolutely transported! What a great talent you are! CONGRATULATIONS to you!

Posted by Anne Prevost • Oct 28, 10:13 AM

Hi Robert. Today was the first time that I actually saw you on the big screen(My family), whilst at home recovering from an injury. As soon as I finished watching it I googled your name to find out more about you. You are great, I am already your big fun. You made me laugh and think of my life as it used to be or perhaps how I wanted it to be.All the best for you.You are brilliant. from a brazilian in London.

Posted by Eustaquio Neto • Oct 22, 08:36 PM

Hi, Robert!
Fell in love with your “Benedick” way back in the day; you just keep getting better (and handsomer.)

Just found you on Twitter, and signed on to follow you, even though you haven’t posted there in nearly two years. Still, I’m ready….

Posted by Dori Davis • Oct 22, 06:06 PM

Hi Robert
My husband set me up when we went to see Me and my girl and said he had arranged for us to meet (as he was fireman at The Mousetrap) I even had my hair done but he was joking and I was very disappointed. You passed me in the street last night on your way to the Theatre at 5.30 but I didn’t like to speak to you in case it was an intrusion on your privacy, but you made my day anyway.

Posted by Sue • Oct 14, 11:04 AM

Hi Robert
Many thanks for the returned signed tickets and the extra surprise of signed photos. Thank you for finding the time in your busy schedule to reply to someone who has followed your career for many years, along with her husband, and will continue to do so and encourage their daughter to do the same. Best Wishes from the Stones’ family. (Power to the people Foxy!!-LOL)

Posted by Jessica Stones • Oct 8, 10:36 PM

I’ve been a fan for years but if I had to pick my absolute favourite acting of all time it is Robert as Fagin, in the TV version of Oliver, in prison towards the end, and he is afraid of his imminent execution, and is losing his mind. Tremendous. My favourite funny scene, GBH, Robert’s character Michael Murray running scared from his wife in the hotel. Both these scenes leave me in tears for different reasons. What a performer!

Posted by Gaynor • Oct 2, 10:42 PM

Hi there,
Thank you very much for coming home to Derby. Onassis was outstanding. You along with the rest of the cast fully deserved the standing ovation. I am still buzzing. Will start saving to come and watch it again in London. Derby folk will wish you all the very best. (As us lot say eee by eck the lad done good!) We (Derby folk) certainly appreciated you chosing Derby. Our theatre although small has brilliant acustics with an air of intimacy I love it. Selling out every night must have been a great feeling for you all. Good luck in the West End. Please think about coming home more often.

Posted by Jadz • Oct 2, 12:09 AM

Dear supporters and readers of Robert’s remarkable talent.
We were fortunate enough to attend the preview of ‘Onassis’ at the Novello Theatre in London last evening.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND that anyone who is able to see this play should definitely do so!
We were fortunate enough to see the play at the Chichester Theatre two years ago under the different title of ‘Aristo’. That was a brilliant production too!
The London play has been revamped but still has the brilliant acting of Robert portraying Aristotle Onassis, with a wonderful supporting cast. The play has much sensitivity, humour,and the typical aggression of Onassis’character throughout. The set is magnificent too!
We wish this production a successful ‘run’, which Robert and his co-actors deserve so very much.

Posted by Wendy Salter-Williams • Oct 1, 12:19 PM

Came to see you in Onassis at Derby Theatre on Sat 25, took mum in law and mum had a fab time, such a shame we were told to wait at the wrong stage door would have loved you to sign your book for my mum, hopefully will get it signed at waterstones in Derby thanks again for such a fantasic night.

Posted by Judy Birch • Sep 27, 08:52 PM

Have returned from watching Onassis this afternoon at Derby Theatre…. all I can say is wow, fantastic. I took my dad as a birthday treat and what a treat it was. Standing ovation at the end and we were quite emotional coming out of the theatre! Quite brilliant and I’m so glad we managed to get tickets. Thank you for coming to Derby. :-) x

Posted by Kirsty M • Sep 25, 08:50 PM

Just tried to get tickets to see Robert in Onassis here in Derby but alas all sold out!
I used to own a health club in Tenerife (83 – 93)and an American Elvis impersonator, popular in the resort, called ‘Liberty Mountain’proudly gave me a video of a film he appeared in with Robert – ‘Whatever Happened to …..’ I think?
The film was dank but the immense, versatile talent of Robert Lindsay shone through. Needless to say I am disappointed I could not buy a ticket. Good luck Mr Lindsay and thank you for the entertainment.

I have watched the Hornblower series and just amazed at how well you play Admiral Pellew. I watch the series every year it was that good. I hope some day to cross paths with you. Hopefully you will come to Broadway again. I live in Philly and go to the shows there. I bought your book with your signature. Not till Hornblower did I know how great an actor you were. Best of luck in the future and continue on with the shows. Steve

Posted by steve Daley • Sep 23, 02:27 AM

Hi i saw you to night at the derby play house you were amazing as onassis, where we unfortuntly missed you to get an autograph. + I remember you in the tv shows, my family, siticen smith. Have just read a few comments on the book and will have to get it. Thanks for a great night.

Posted by Ali Stevens • Sep 21, 02:09 AM

I have watched your “Who do you think you are programme” 6 times – followed it all over the television stations.

My own grandfather was there, his ship was the Cornwallis.

Any chance of you dropping me a line about this?

Saw Onassis last night at derby playhouse, absolutely 1st class. Even though i was suffering gyp from toothache it was 2 1/2 hrs of wonder, an absolutely brill performance. Many thanks to you and the rest of the cast for an unforgetable and memorable evening, best of luck when it goes to west end. Power to the people

Posted by Kev Collins • Sep 19, 02:01 PM

Hi Robert, just wanted to let you know that the book is great! I read it to my children to send them to sleep at night, i’m on my 4th reading of the book already. Its the best thing I’ve read since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Good luck with future endeavours!

Yours warmly,
Chris.

Hello,
Just read your wonderful book, so honest must have been hard to write. Have followed your career since 1973, I will miss watching you on Friday night been such a major part of our lives for so long. I wish you and your beautiful family love, health and happiness. you are truly a British institution, I hope one day you will be officially recognised. I met you once very briefly Syd and my son went to school in Chiswick. Continued success in all you do. x

Posted by Sue Selfe • Sep 15, 02:22 PM

I saw a preview of Onassis at Deby Theatre yesterday. Absolutely brilliant, brilliant, fantastic!!!! The best show I have ever seen – (and I’m 53 years old – but it was worth the wait). It’s entertaining, witty, stylish, wonderful scenery effects and I love the lighting – sparkles of reflected water & mythological skies, beautiful & atmospheric. I felt as though I was right there in the Med. If you’ve got a ticket you’re in for a treat.

Posted by Sarah Morgan • Sep 12, 05:31 PM

Just want to say that I have enjoyed your performance in Onassis at Derby Theatre. I work at the theatre, and I came to see the show on the 9th, 10th and 11th September. I am also coming to see it again on the 15th and 21st September.

Good luck with the rest of it and I shall see you soon.

Posted by Craig Palmer • Sep 12, 12:48 PM

Just back from watching you and the cast perform Martin Shermans Onassis at Derby Theatre. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon thank you all so much and would just like to wish you all the very best as you head onwards to certain victory in Westend.

Hello Robert, not sure if you ever get chance to read these comments but I just wanted to say that I have just finished reading your wonderful book over the weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very honest, reflective and full of funny observations. I have been a big fan of your since first watching you in G.B.H. I still watch that brilliant drama today along with Jake’s Progress. I also grew up on a northern council estate through the late 70s and 80s and now I live in Berkshire. Your insights and experiences are very thought provoking and has made me reflect on my own experiences from childhood. You are an amazing actor and I hope to watch you again in future theatre productions.

Posted by Steven Hargreaves • Aug 16, 10:43 AM

Will be looking to get your new book as I have been a fan since I saw you in “Me and My Girl” in 1985 – still the only drama program I’ve kept and I see LOTS of plays. One of my most amazing theater experiences. I wish I could be in London to see you in the new play. best wishes for its success.

A wonderful start to series 10 Robert. Whoever said that this was the funniest series yet is absolutely right! IT must have taken a great deal of practice to whizz around in that wheelchair in such a professional way?! But then everything you undertake is performed with such perfection anyway! Am looking so forward to seeing the other eight weeks of ‘My Family’. May there be a series 11, in fact may it go on forever!!
Looking forward to Onassis too, in London.

Just wanted to say, I wish him the best of luck in all of his current projects, he has always been and will continue to be such an idol in terms of his success and achievements. He is such a joy to watch and even from Citizen Smith to Ben Harper in My Family, his ability to entertain and be loved by a very grateful british public has been never ending. Thank you for reminding us what real talent is.

Posted by Lorna • Jun 24, 01:34 AM

We Yanks don’t get much of Robert, but I still remember his fine Antonio in a much-lauded mounting of “The Changeling”, Riverside Studios, 1978. Am now enjoying “My Family” on DVD, and catching “Jericho” when aired here on PBS. Hoping to catch “Onassis” my next trip across the pond, this autumn.

Congratulations and thanks to Robert, for decades of very entertaining performances.

Hi Robert,

Good luck for England

I would like to wish Robert every success in his new play. I would loved to have seen it, but i am emigrating to Melbourne, Australia in October (Visa Pending) so will miss out unfortunately.

I will be however coming to the “Audience With” later this month, hopefully after a resounding England victory against Slovenia !!!!!!!

See you in Chester!

Heyy. I am 16 and I have just recently started to read ‘Letting Go’ – today in fact, and I am already half way through! I have read other autobiographies before, but I have never been so ‘linked’ with any other book like this. When I was reading through his journey of becoming a successful actor, it must have been the chapter where he was singing a song by Elvis Presley which made me smile: “You’re so young, and beautiful, and I love you so…”, but to the tune of Wooden Heart. This was a very warm moment for me, as my father, who died when I was 14, sang this to me when I was born. I had never heard Elvis sing this song, so I researched it, and there it was, and I tear came. Robert’s book is so wonderfully honest, and he is an amazing actor – he is a true inspiration.
