Prolific behind and in front of the camera Anthony Trenchwood grew to be an important player in the studio.  Trenchwood joined the studio in 1936 for Beards-a-blazing in which he starred opposite PDA Kirwan.  The pair were to form a comic double act, culminating in their portrayal of Dr F and Egor in Wanted: Body Parts, from the Horror Canon.

   
Trenchwood played a variety of roles at Whiskerino, but is best remembered as the original mad scientist Dr F.  He portrayed him twice in the Horror Canon (alongside PDA Kirwan's Egor - pictured right), and reprised the characterisation for Hired Spirits.  He often said that Dr F was the best role he ever got to play.

       
Having worked briefly on the radio and as a writer Trenchwood fell to acting to help finance his love of motor racing.  After a period of success both on the track and on the screen Trenchwood retired from racing and threw himself wholeheartedly into film production.
       
Trenchwood's success with Whiskerino Productions continued behind the camera too.  He produced three of the studio's features and co-wrote another two.  His finest moment came when he wrote and directed fan favourite Hired Spirits, the last hit the studios had. tren601.gif (14471 bytes)
