Robert Robinson RIP

Some of the older ABers may remember him. He hosted Round Britain Quiz on television and Brain of Britain on the radio.

RIP man with the beautiful voice. I loved all of your quiz programmes at the time.

Nice write up in the Telegraph about him. The weak/strong tea made me laugh!

I liked him- didn't he do Call my Bluff too.

Ah Grammar School Dotty - me too! Happy days. I remember them filming Top of the Form at ours and I managed to sit right behind Geoffrey Wheeler and so each time the camera was on him - there I was too!

[dotty.]

crikey, Top of The Form, I'd forgotten about that, our school went into the heats once I think.

I have heard Stephen Fry mimic him, in a nice way, and it's pretty accurate.
Call My Bluff is one of the programmes we all watched.
