Christopher Robbie (born 30 May 1938) is a British actor, television announcer, theatre director and designer, playwright and photographer. He trained as an actor at RADA in London, and has had a distinguished theatrical career, playing the title role in King Lear when a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He has also performed a one-man play about the life of Charles Darwin. Under the pseudonym James Alan he wrote the play The Sirens of Eroc. As a television actor he has appeared in the Doctor Who stories The Mind Robber and Revenge of the Cybermen, as well as in The Avengers, UFO, Dempsey and Makepeace and One Foot in the Grave, among much else. As a photographer he has held exhibitions of his work.
He is also well-remembered as an in-vision announcer for Southern Television, where his polite, restrained, gentlemanly style seemed to sum up the company's ethos. He announced on the company's final day of broadcasting (31 December 1981) and presented its final programme And It's Goodbye From Us .... He also announced, although less often, for TVS in the 1980s, and had stints in the announcer's chair at Associated-Rediffusion, Thames Television and Anglia Television.
Christopher is the English version of a Europe-wide name derived from the Greek name Χριστόφορος (Christóforos). The constituent parts are Χριστός (Christós), "Christ" or "Anointed", and φέρειν (férein), "bear": the "Christ-bearer". It is related to the names Chris meaning "Anointed" and Christian meaning "follower of Christ" or "little Christ" (all from Greek.)
As a given, or first name, Christopher has been in use since the 10th century. In English, Christopher may be abbreviated as "Chris", and sometimes "Kit". Another less common abbreviation "Topher" or "Toph", has come into wider use in the U.S.
It was frequently the most popular male first name in the United Kingdom, having been in the top twenty in England and Wales from the 1940s until 1995, although it has since dropped out of the top 100. The name is most common in England and not so common in Wales, Scotland, or Ireland.
Robbie can be a given name as well as a surname. It is usually encountered as a nickname or a shortened form of Robert or Robin. The name experienced a significant rise in popularity in Northern Ireland in 2003.
"Robbie", and the alternate spelling "Robby", is a given name shared by several notable people:
Southern Television was the first ITV broadcasting licence holder for the south and south-east of England and parts of the south west of England from 30 August 1958 until the night of 31 December 1981. The company was launched as Southern Television Limited and the title Southern Television was consistently used on-air throughout its life. However, in 1966 during the application process for contracts running from 1968 the company renamed itself Southern Independent Television Limited, a title which was used until 1980, when the company reverted to its original corporate name. Southern Television ceased broadcasting on the morning of 1 January 1982 at 12.43am, after a review during the 1980 franchise round gave the contract to Television South.
When the Independent Television Authority (ITA) advertised for applicants to run the south of England station in 1958, Southern Television beat eight other applicants for the contract. Its initial shareholders were Associated Newspapers, the Rank Organisation and the Amalgamated Press, each holding one third of the company. Associated Newspapers was allowed to remain a shareholder in Southern only on the condition that it sold its remaining 10% stake in Associated-Rediffusion to avoid owning parts of two ITV companies. The Amalgamated Press dropped out of the consortium before the station went on air. This led to Associated Newspapers and Rank increasing their stakes to 37.5% each, and D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd taking the remaining 25%.

Tina Fey leads Whiskey Tango Foxtrot as Kim Baker, a reporter who's doing pretty well for herself minus the fact that's she's stuck in a monotonous routine. In an effort to shake things up, she opts to completely uproot her life and accept an assignment as a war reporter in Afghanistan. With Whiskey Tango Foxtrot making its way into theaters on March 4th, I got the opportunity to sit down with Fey, Margot Robbie, Christopher Abbott and Stephen Peacocke for a round of our movie version of the game "Would You Rather." Find out if the gang would rather work with a method actor or someone who improvises all the time and much more in this video interview.
