One thing I loved about managing Richard’s social media was reading him your messages. He was always surprised and humbled by the love shown to him and it was very much reciprocated. That love is so evident right now and I’m sure will be of great comfort to his family. - LR

I thought it would be a nice tribute to @PlanetFranklin to do a tweetalong of Terror of the Autons. Richard's birthday, 15 January seems an appropriate date. Would anyone be interested? #CaptainYates

Many thanks to @ralph_rankin for allowing me to post these pics taken after a performance of Richard’s #RecallUNIT in 1984. Great memories of the day John Scott Martin joined the cast. I’ll be sure to show Richard. LR
