I was asked to list my five favourite outfits Robert wears in The Goes Wrong Show! I'm going to warn you right now that I took this as an excuse to rhapsodise over how attractive Robert is, as if I needed one.
In first place is Albert Fortenoy, from The Lodge, as illustrated in the header image of this page. This was the first episode of The Goes Wrong Show I saw, and I was blown away by how hot Robert was. The tartan trousers don't quite work for me, but I love every other element: the hair, the beard, the gold-trimmed black jacket over the red shirt.
(I accidentally wrote 'bear' instead of 'beard'. Bennis would be proud. I MEAN DENNIS, WHOOPS.)
To be honest, you can probably credit Robert's look in The Lodge with getting me into The Goes Wrong Show in the first place. It took a few episodes for the show to really click for me, and the reason I initially kept watching was because Robert was so goddamn attractive.
My other favourite Robert outfits could be listed in more or less any order:
- Roger, Summer Once Again. It's a simple look, but the military outfit works on him!
- The angel Gabriel, from The Nativity. Again, perfect in its simplicity. I love the tinsel halo, the gold trainers, the massive wings, the... scarf? Hood? The baggy fabric around his neck, in any case.
- Father Christmas, The Spirit of Christmas. It's not one of Robert's hotter looks (the Goes Wrong productions keep trying to spite me personally by casting Robert in such notably unsexy roles as Father Christmas, Adolf Hitler and the family dog), but it suits him nonetheless.
- Starkey the pirate, Peter Pan Goes Wrong. But!! Only when he has the attractive facial hair!!! Its absence in the DVD release was a great tragedy, but fortunately the beard is present in promotional photographs from the Broadway production.
- Oh, wait, that last one isn't technically from The Goes Wrong Show, is it? Er, in that case, my final slot goes to Robert being a big shiny beetle in the insect ballet.
