ROBIN DAY – British political broadcaster, commentator and wearer of bow ties.
Sir Robin Day was Britain’s leading political interviewer and election’s broadcaster throughout the 70s and 80s. Robin Day's obituary in THE GUARDIAN by Dick Taverne stated that "he was the most outstanding television journalist of his generation. He transformed the television interview, changed the relationship between politicians and television, and strove to assert balance and rationality into the medium's treatment of current affairs". Although Mrs Thatcher had him made a knight in her next interview with Sir Robin she constantly referred to him as ‘Mr Day’ prompting a rare apology from the Prime Minister when this was pointed out. The title of one of his autobiographies was THE GRAND INQUISTIR. In the 1959 General Election Robin Day stood as a Liberal Party candidate for Hereford but failed to win.
