   Sir Robin Day, OBE (24 October 1923 – 6 August 2000) was a British political broadcaster and commentator of note.

On television, he presented Panorama and chaired Question Time (1979–89), and on radio was presenter of The World at One. His incisive and sometimes abrasive interviewing style, together with his heavy-rimmed spectacles and trademark bow tie made him an instantly recognisable and frequently impersonated figure on British television over five decades.
