We reached the halfway stage in my chemotherapy treatment and I'm afraid to have to say that the oncologist had to give me bad news.
The tumors growing inside of me have more than doubled in size since the commencement of treatment and chemotherapy is supposed to improve the quality of life but was keeping me in a permanent state of illness.
Due to the result, the doctor decided to pull the plug on my chemotherapy treatment and now all that's left is to wait for the inevitable outcome, for which I will only have months to wait for.
Jodie, my Daughter in law is learnING in earnest how to run the KTMP company. While I don't see any more films being made, Jodie will continue to provide the KTMP catalogue while those films remain popular.
Thanks to all for your continued support towards the KTMP brand it has been a pleasure to serve.

It is with terrible regret that I have to inform you that Mark Raby, our colouring and finishing author passed away very suddenly last night.
Our prayers and love are offered to Mark's widow Lisa Raby and all of their family.
A huge loss, rest in peace Mark.
We will remember you.

This is one of the hardest announcements that I have ever had to make.
Last week, I was diagnosed with advanced cancer on my pancreas and liver, which has been analysed as inoperable.
To those of you who have been in touch already; thank you so much for your lovely kind words. Rest assured that I am not going down without a fight. My wife Jill has been incredible, she took over the running of my care plan, away from the GP, because she could see that the system was going to drag it's heels getting things set up. The result of which is that I have been processed with lighting speed and with a team who have a great track record. My biopsy will be done today and then straight on to chemotherapy. Of course I'm scared for the outcome, who wouldn't be? But! At the same time, I feel as optimistic as I possibly can with the support of the medical team, my wonderful family and amazing friends.
The phone and doorbells were ringing all day yesterday, and while there were many tears, there were a lot more laughs.
So there it is, the greatest challenge within a life that seems to have been packed with them, but one of those that I'm more prepared to undergo, thanks to all of you.

It is with utter sadness that I have to report that Ron Fox, who filmed with KTMP passed away on Monday following a long spell of treatment in hospital. My heartfelt sympathy goes to his family.
A lovely, clever and funny man, who will be greatly missed by all of his column readers and film viewers.
