He hosted the short-lived 1964 series, "BBC-3", a mixture of songs, satirical sketches and discussion. The most famous segment of this show, which went out live on Saturday nights, featured Kenneth Tynan and Mary McCarthy in a discussion of censorship. Tynan, taking advantage of the fact that it was all live, deliberately used the F-word in his remarks, thereby occasioning a national scandal, as he intended. Robinson, however, remained urbane and simply told Tynan that he'd found an easy way to become famous. Years later, after Tynan's death, he described the critic as "a clever fellow, but a frightful weed".
