Film director’s despair at epic saga of ‘duplicitous’ Ovo Energy bills
Bruce Robinson is being pursued for money owed 25 months previously, even though Ofgem says that isn’t allowed, writes Chris Blackhurst
Bruce Robinson is at his wit’s end. The award-winning film director and screenwriter, best known for Withnail and I and The Killing Fields, is clutching a sheaf of documents. These are the letters and bills he’s received; and if he printed off the emails, there would be many more.
They relate to what Robinson describes as his “nightmare”, his seemingly never-ending dispute with Ovo Energy.
These days Robison lives in the Herefordshire countryside. He is writing scripts, currently working on one for Columbia Pictures. The row relates to £1,058.53, which Ovo claimed in April 2022 that Robinson owed them from 25 months previously, starting March 2020 and ending April 2021.
