Appearances on the programme

In 2009, he reappeared on the show as a 21-year-old, managing to win two games before a narrow defeat of one point in the third.
Something of a Countdown addict, Robinson would regularly return to the studio to watch shows being recorded live. He became the audience member to solve the conundrum on 29 January 2015, and 14 February 2020 - after a close but incorrect answer from Ian Volante.

He then finsihed 4th at both CoNot 2011 and Co:Lon 2011, before winning the inaugural Countdown in Chester, CoChest in November 2011.
In 2012, he attended COLIN 2012, finishing in 8th place (his lowest finish to date), before winning the inaugural Countdown in Reading, CO:REA 2012 in April. He followed that up a week later by winning CoLei5, beating Richard Priest (who he happened to beat in the final at CoChest) in that final. He then appeared at CobliviLon, finishing 6th, followed by an appearance at the first COEDI in Edinburgh, reaching the final, before losing to home favourite, Innis Carson.

After appearing on Countdown, Robinson auditioned for many other game shows, with no success, until he appeared on Pointless in October 2011 and January 2012. He then appeared on Breakaway on 11 October 2012, Mastermind on 6 December 2013, the revival of Fifteen to One on 23 and 24 April 2014 and again on 5 June 2017, Eggheads on 5 January 2016, and made three appearances on Hive Minds later in 2016.
