Mr. John Duncan, the man who played Robin in the 1949 Serials has agreed to answer some questions. I'll send him the questions in a few days!

His website is: The Original 1949 Robin

1. It looks like the stunt doubles were featured in a LOT of non-speaking shots. Did you run into your doubles often, and if so, have any recollection of them?

2. Were your promotional appearances for the serial in-costume or not?

3. How many promotional appearances did you make? How much time did you spend promoting the serial vs. filming it?

4. Was there any moment in the filming where you thought to youself either "This is going to turn out cool" or "This is not going to turn out at all cool"?

5. What location do you recall being at the most for the shoot?

6. Did you run into any of the actors from the serial during the 50's or afterwards?

Pretty good questions. And welcome to the forum, HONK!

I think I had a bunch of questions, but they were posted before one of the hacks. Pretty sure Beyond saved 'em though.

What were the actual colours of the Robin suit that you wore?
