The Site

TimeWarp is the Official UK Rocky Horror Fan Club, that's England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for those who aren't too sure on their geography. The club itself has been going since 1988 and we registered the domain name timewarp.org.uk on the 7th March 1997.

The site went live shortly after as more or less a holding page and launched on the world wide big time in August of 1997. The timewarp.org.uk site has been created to spread the word about TimeWarp Fan Club and Rocky Horror in general.

The site caters for both Fans of The Rocky Horror stage show and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, as does the Fan Club. Most people like them both it seems, if you go by the Guest Book entries!

The Site is constantly expanding and it was intended that there should be updates at least once a month. Updates have been at least weekly since 1998 and the site now has over 24,685 individual pages.

This site can be viewed with any browser that is HTML4 and above capable. For the ultimate TimeWarp surfing experience make sure you enable Java and JavaScript to see and use the flashy bits such as the Fast Page Finder and ensure you have Shockwave Flash installed as a plug in to play a few of our games.

The Authors / Contributors

David Freeman [contact]

Discovered RHPS in 1980 and first saw the live Rocky Horror Show back in 1985. He joined the 'Charming Underclothes' performance group at the Screen on Baker Street in London during their first months, back in the early days of 1988. He was a regular cast member for over eight years, performing in well over 500 shows, more than anyone in the UK, a record that stands to this day. He retired from the group in June, 1996. He has been known to come out of retirement every now and then, including performing as Space Riff on the Friday night at the 25th Anniversary convention in Las Vegas in 2000. He introduced the Movie in London for well over five years (250+ shows) and was the last surviving member of the original Charming Underclothes Cast (from Baker Street) to retire from performing.

He married Stephanie Freeman the founder of TimeWarp Fan Club who he met at the Screen on Baker Street in 1990, their first son Dana was born in 1996, followed by Illya in 2001. Stephanie's last performing cast show took place a day before she went into Labour with Dana (She played Betty Hapschatt, complete with real bump). Stephanie also came out of retirement to play Space Magenta at the Las Vegas 25th Anniversary Convention, again complete with (quite small at the time) pregnancy bump.

David co-hosted the Transylvania 1992, 1994 and 1999 UK Rocky Horror Conventions, still the three biggest UK Rocky Conventions with over 500 attendees at each one.

David is a Photographer and Technician, many of the photographs on this site have been taken by him and his work appears in both of Sal Piro's 'Creatures Of The Night' books as well as in many Rocky Horror related publications and web sites. He was the production photographer for the 2015/16 UK tour of The Rocky Horror Show and several other UK tours after. There are even a couple of his Rocky Horror images in a movie! (Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream) and he even get's his name in the credits.

He also wrote the Text and Chapter Stops for the UK Laser Disc release of The Rocky Horror Picture Show released by Encore Entertainment (this was the only Laser Disc version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show with 'Super Heroes' included in the film itself).

His interests aside from Rocky Horror include amongst others: film, music and 1,000+ watts of home cinema gear (He has a very nice neighbour, so doesn't always turn the volume right up!). He also writes several other web sites apart from TimeWarp and is a consultant for many more, all the sites are written with Notepad, really!

If you are at a stage show in the UK you'll recognise him by his trademark green sequined jacket, do say Hi, he likes to find out what people think of this site and to chat about the wonderful world of Rocky.

His least favourite theatre is the Regent Theatre Ipswich.

The one item he longed to add to his Rocky Horror and related collection was an original vinyl LP of The Stripper and on Monday, February 13th, 2017 he finally got a mint condition copy!

Nik Rosser

Although Nik no longer has anything to do with the day to day running of this site, his help in the setting up and early days was invaluable (that means I didn't pay him!)

Nik was a committee member for the Transylvania '92 and Transylvania '94 Official UK Rocky Horror conventions, where he also performed the Stage Management of the 1994 convention. He was once again a committee member for the 1999 convention, and did most of the photography on the day, uploading images to the Convention web site throughout the event.

I first met Nik way back in 1988 and we were both members of Charming Underclothes in that year, as was Stephen Edwards who is also a Transylvania Conventions Committee member. Nik works for a large computer corporation, and in his spare(?) time is a very active member of the Green Theatre Company.

He has performed sound design and operation for 'Yerma' and 'Connections' with the GTC, 'Twelve Angry Men' for the Teddington Theatre Club, and directed 'A Dangerous Business' for the GTC. His first stage appearance for the Green Theatre Company was as 'Martin' in a reprise of Chris Nash's 'Tout' performed in LJ's Theatre Bar, Kingston.

As for scandalous gossip, Nik has accidentally caused a Glasgow-wide terrorist alert with a props department gun, has been seen dressed as a banana while sporting black fishnet stockings in Piccadilly Circus tube station, and has had his hand down the back of Richard O'Brien's trousers, which he claims was something to do with a radio mike.

Rob Bagnall - Site Contributor / Reviews & TimeWarp Rep

Rob Bagnall was born in Leek, Staffordshire, England, in March, in the late 60's; and grew up (in the loosest sense of the word, of course) watching classic (and not-so-classic) monster movies on late night TV and listening to classic rock 'n' roll from the 1950s.

Rather than the sporting pursuits and modern music favoured by his school-mates, Rob's adolescent obsessions were science fiction and horror films, cheesy old monster movies, retro-pop and rock music, 1950s Americana, B-movies, camp comedy, Hallowe'en, special effects, make-up and dressing up; and when, at the impressionable age of 17 (a confused mess of teenage hormones and sci-fi geekiness), he first saw Richard O'Brien's musical masterpiece The Rocky Horror Show "Alive on stage" at the Theatre Royal Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, it was love at first sight.

"It was as though Richard O'Brien had tapped into my subconscious, found all of my passions, and written this perfect musical especially for me," says Rob, “Science Fiction Double Feature seemed to speak me personally; I got it totally, it's the best song ever written."

That first viewing of the show immediately started what would become a lifelong devotion to both The Rocky Horror Show and its equally brilliant film version The Rocky Horror Picture Show; and he joined TimeWarp (the one and only Official UK Rocky Horror Fan Club) as soon as it started in 1988, and has renewed his annual membership every year since. He continues to watch the movie regularly, follow the stage show tours all over the UK, and is constantly searching for new (and old) Rocky Horror merchandise to add to his beloved and ever-expanding collection.

Rob's proudest, most exciting and emotional Rocky Horror moments to date have included: being invited to attend a rehearsal for the 2006 UK tour of The Rocky Horror Show; being in the audience for the one-off charity concert performance The Rocky Horror Tribute Show at the Royal Court Theatre on May 3, 2006; being asked to write a page for the 30th anniversary tour's souvenir brochure; seeing Patricia Quinn reprise her original role of Usherette/Magenta (and singing Science Fiction Double Feature live on stage again) for The Rocky Horror Show's 21st birthday tour in 1994; and finally meeting the legendary Tim Curry in 2006 at the stage door of the London's Palace Theatre, where he played the part of King Arthur in the West End production of Monty Python's Spamalot.

For better or worse, Rocky Horror made Rob Bagnall the man he is; it is a passionate and enthusiastic devotion that continues (with no signs of slowing down) to this very day, and he would like to express his eternal gratitude to the man who started it all, the great Richard O'Brien.

Updated: In 2013 Rob and Phil Barden had their book Still The Beast is Feeding - 40 Years of Rocky Horror published by Telos publishing.

Spam Emails faking a TimeWarp address?

If you've received a spam email or a virus laden file that says it comes from an @ timewarp.org.uk address then you haven't! A lot of virus/spam emails now fake the senders address, timewarp like many other sites have been a victim of this practice. We have NEVER sent out a spam message or virus laden file from our email system and the system has so many firewalls, virus scanners, etc. that it cannot. Anything spam with our domain name is a fake!

Have a look at the detailed header information on the email (the ip address is a givaway, even if the "Hello" is faked) and you will see that although the file is pretending to come from one site it is in fact sent from somewhere else, mostly from Korea and China it seems at the moment!

Hit Counter

This site used to use a counter linked from the main title page, it recorded one 'hit' per visit, unlike some counters placed on other sites. As you can see from the table below, we have more visitors than ever showed on the counter, this is due to many people jumping into the site at an internal page such as the What's New page. Since Monday, June 13th, 2005 we have only used web server statistics as they are more accurate (The number of 'hits' , i.e. a request for any type of file, is over 20 million a year now). Nik Rosser calls people who like the following table 'Stat Sluts', cute eh! TimeWarp is one of the top five most visited Rocky Horror web sites on the net.
