Joe Dobinson was an octochamp in Series 86. He was a Spanish and linguistics student at the University of Southampton but is originally from Southend-on-Sea, Essex. He is also an Apterite.
Making his debut on 9 November 2022 with a solid score of 93, Dobinson won a further seven games 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 eighth game, he notably risked MARBLEISE in the final letters game for the sole nine 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 in December 2022, placing as the fifth seed. He played his quarter-final match on 20 December 2022 against number four seed Alan Young. Young took an early lead after the first numbers game, with Dobinson staying close behind by 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 Dobinson the first semi-finalist outside the top four seeds since Tony Manwani and Alan Duval both made it in Series 79.
