Sir Robin Day (24 October 1923 – 6 August 2000) was a British political broadcaster and commentator.
Day's obituary in The Guardian by Dick Taverne stated that "he was the most outstanding television journalist of his generation. He transformed the television interview, changed the relationship between politicians and television, and strove to assert balance and rationality into the medium's treatment of current affairs".
He was born in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, the son of a telephone engineer who became a telephone manager. He attended Brentwood School from 1934 to 1938, briefly attended the Crypt School, Gloucester, and later Bembridge School on the Isle of Wight.
During and after World War II, between 1943 and 1947, he served with the army in East Africa, where he reached the rank of Captain but was demoted to Lieutenant as part of a cull of rear-echelon jobs.
After the war Day attended St Edmund Hall, Oxford, and, while a student, was elected president of the Oxford Union debating society. Day also took part in a debating tour of the United States, run by the English-Speaking Union.

Twisted priest possessed by hell
Tormented in evil sacrilege-
Confused spoken paranoia prophecies of zombies siege
Without control rotting brain veins infest in solemn rage
Haunted by the voices - tongues speaks of carnage
In the morgue, in the cemeteries, in the eyes of the dead and the dying
Reflecting mankind's future doom - as whispered in their sighing
In your head deep within - they chant your worlds demise
Reckoning day of the opening lids - The hour all cadavers arise...
Voices of the dead - chanting inside your head
Resurrected ones living dead-see to it life destroyed
Voices breathe of sulphur putrescent reek of void
Sky turns black sweeping fog
As darkness takes its toll
Vengeful corpses now walk the earth
The dead has total control
Voices of the dead - chanting inside your head "when the earth spits out the dead they will return to tear the flesh from the living"
