As some of you already know via Facebook (and perhaps from watching old fashioned ‘television’!) I was recently asked by producer and director Bruce Burgess to take part in an episode of the popular series Forbidden History.
The show went out on Friday and Saturday last week on the Yesterday channel (available on Sky and Virgin).
The show was presented by Jamie Theakston, and Jamie and the crew spent several hours holed up in my front room asking me all manner of questions about – you’ve guessed it – the Highgate ‘bloody’ vampire. It was a good interview though, I must admit. Other contributors to the show include my old friends the Rev. Lionel Fanthorpe who I was first in contact with some years back whilst he was researching his book “The Worlds most Mysterious Places” (1999), and Andrew Gough, who has previously interviewed me for his website Arcadia (that interview generated a LOT of comments 😉 )
Fortunately for fans of the Highgate ‘vampire’ saga who, like me, do not own a television set, the show is available to view online at:

The full title is:
FORBIDDEN HISTORY – SERIES 3, EPISODE 4 – BLOOD LUST: VAMPIRES
Enjoy! And do feel free to leave feedback below.
For now,
