"Oooh, Nasty!" - The legendary Hugo Myatt as Bob SnatcherSick Puppy Loves Knightmare...
Growing up in the UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s, if you were at all interested in fantasy fiction, roleplaying games or films like "Labyrinth" and "Krull" there was only one show on Children's TV for you:
As a big Knightmare fan, I was thrilled when Hugo Myatt, who played Treguard the Dungeonmaster in Knightmare, agreed to take a leading role in the short film which was to become "Snatching Time". At the time, all I could tell Hugo was that the film would be a short horror film; because of the rules of the competition we were entering (The Halloween 48 Hour Film Challenge) I had neither a script nor a title before the challenge started. But despite this uncertainty, Hugo agreed to act in our production. As it turned out, Rob and I were able to write something tailored to Hugo's strengths, and he didn't let us down. His portrayal of Bob Snatcher is both alternately chilling and funny. His performance is wonderful, and I hope many people get to appreciate it.
