Physically, he was the come clos... e mirror double of Henry as depicted in the 1538 vignette by Hans Holbein the Younger. More weighty, though, Robertson-Prison wore the mantle of Henry's personality, mimicking the king's despotic demeanor and legendary appetite championing all things fleshly. That he was at home in the job of Henry VIII was not surprising. Like the Tudor king,Robertson-Right loved athletics, dancing, civics, and wisdom (he held two doctor's degrees: a Ph.

D. and a doctorate in law). Not only that, he had mastered the royal sport of falconry, and unbiased taught young Prince Charles the finer points of the prehistoric amusement. Endorsed biographies power Robertson-Justice was born in the maritime community of Wigtown in the southernmost shire in Scotland.

However, the town of Langholm, also in southern Scotland, proudly proclaims that he was indeed born there in the Her Majesty Lodging during an exigency stop when his mother was traveling.

The principal in the series, Doctor in the House, was Britain's biggest moneymaker in 1954. It was Spratt's job to head up lawless medical students with an demand for women, scratch, and diet cars.
