Bob Holness RIP

Bob Holness legendary presenter of Blockbusters has passed away at the age of 83 RIP

What a legend he was. "I'll have a P please Bob." Oh how we laughed.

What "O" is the generic word for any living animal or plant, including bacteria and viruses? chap gave the answer has orgasm.

rip bob.

Sad news - I became a big fan of Blockbusters as it used to be on in my region just as I was coming in from work. The line "Can I have a P, please Bob" is as timeless as "Fork handles".

I always loved the urban legend that he played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" (not true!) but it was true that he played James Bond - but only on the radio!

ps: by coincidence, Challenge are showing an old rerun of "Blockbusters" at 7 pm tonight, ch 125 on Sky, ch 46 on Freeview so we can see the maestro in action. I think it will get a very big audience.

Aw There was only 1 Blockbusters host who mattered.

RIP

I'll have an 'R'....an 'I'..and a 'P' please Bob......

Very sad to hear he was a great host of Blockbusters can I have a B Bob? R.I.P Bob Holness

Bob Holness and Blockbusters takes me back to the era when I was just a kid, a great show hosted by a man with great wit and a sense of humour. RIP Bob you will be missed.

But the Conundrum is, will he get through the pearly gates without having to solve the nine letter word describing the meaning of life*.

RIP Bob.

He was the first to play James Bond. Blockbusters always had fit girls on, natural in those days too.

Sad, watch it all the time, good life, quite a good innings, no arguments there.
