Joe Dobinson was an octochamp in Series 86. He is a Spanish and Linguistics Student at the University of Southampton but is originally from Southend-on-Sea in Essex. He is also an Apterite.
Making his debut on the 9th of November with a solid score of 93, Dobinson won a further 7 games in November 2022 to become the sixth octochamp of Series 86, and the second of the series whose run has spanned two presenters. He achieved a provisional personal best of 116 in his second game, and solved six conundrums; three of which were crucial.
In his 8th game, he notably risked MARBLEISE in the final letters round for the sole 9 of his appearances, wrapping up with a total of 794 points (the same as Paul James in Series 67, Laurence Killen in Series 71 and Maggie Barlow in Series 80).
Dobinson returned for the series finals, placing as the fifth seed. He played his quarterfinal match on 20 December 2022 against number 4 seed Alan Young. Young took an early lead after the first numbers round, with Dobinson staying close behind on two points. However, crucially Dobinson later found LANGOUSTE for nine, taking a 16-point lead to the conundrum, which was left unsolved and meant Dobinson advanced to a semi-final the next day against Tom Stevenson. This also made Joe the first semi-finalist outside the Top 4 seeds since Tony Manwani and Alan Duval both made it in Series 79.
