== Behind the scenes ==
Robins' first name was not given on screen, only in the [[Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters (novelisation)|novelisation]]. Robins is killed in the novelisation in a scene not hinted at on screen, and directly contradicted by the novel ''[[The Scales of Injustice (novel)|The Scales of Injustice]]'', which states he survived. In the novelisation, the Silurian [[Morka]] controls Robins' mind and forces him to leap off a chasm to his death. The rest of the Brigadier's team in the caves is out of range, and only Robins—the weakest—could be controlled by him.
