Shame that really, but we all have to go - eventually.
Nice chap and quite enjoyable programs in their time, probably better than a lot of the dross on nowadays.

Robert Robinson, noted television face
Now, not on, but in the box. His final resting place
For a generation he gained affectionate, affable praise
"For mothers and younger children only." His catch-phrase.

Ahh..thats sad news. He was very likeable, rather clever and knew it but was still likeable with it, something of a broadcasting enigma from a by-gone age. In later years he was remembered for his various quizes but back in the old days he did many intervioews with politicians and celebrities and so on. Had a great twinkle in his eye. A legendary purveyor of the comb-over.

His name is Robert Robinson not Robertson.
Rest in peace Robert, you were a lovely man xx

The presenter of the Weakest Link is no relation to Robert Robinson, his only daughter is called Suzie !!!
