Biography

Soon after Robert's birth in Liverpool in 1928 , his parents moved to New Malden in Surrey where his father was an accountant for a large chemical company. He was educated at a grammar school in Raynes Park before going to Oxford, where he obtained an Honours degree in English. While there, he was editor on the university magazine Isis. When he left, he joined a newspaper company working on 'The Weekly Telegraph' and progressed to the Sunday Chronicle, Sunday Graphic and Sunday Times. The mid 50's newspaper strike led him to television where he worked on 'Monitor', 'Picture Parade' and 'Points of View', before becoming chairman on 'Call My Bluff' and 'Ask the Family' . .After 1967, he did 'The Book Programme' and, on radio, 'Brain of Britain. Since 1972, he did 'Stop the Week With Robert Robinson' and three years on the 'Today' program. He wrote a number of novels, including 'Landscape With Dead Dons' (his first, written when he was 26), 'The Conspiracy' and 'Inside Robert Robinson'. He had a son, Nicholas, born 1960, and daughters, Lucy, born 1967, and Suzy born 1973.
