As a
puppeteer, Robinson is best known for building and voicing puppets for the television series
Spitting Image,
The Riddlers,
Dizzy Heights, and
Puddle Lane. In
The Riddlers, he built the puppets Mossop, Middler, Glossop, Eesup, and Tiddler (Tiddlup), also voicing Mossop and Middler. On
Dizzy Heights he played Victor Gristle, and on
Puddle Lane he played Toby the Dragon and other puppets. He also played Bungle in the 1994-1995 revival of the children's series
Rainbow. Before his puppeteering career, Richard was a busker. In the mid-1990s, after years taking his children to the
Science Museum and related educational events he found a new outlet as a science busker, visiting schools and festivals with science cabaret acts. ==Author==
