[xXBADGERXx]

The legend of early evening TV quizzes has passed away , Bob Holness of "Blockbusters" fame passed away in his sleep this morning , I loved his program as a Yoof and the likes of him will never be on TV again ..... RIP Bob .

Big shame! RIP!

Heard on the lunchtime news. Sad that we all get old and eventually snuff it. He seemed to have a quiz show formulae that worked with the youth of the time.

Thats a shame, was watching blockbusters on youtube a few months ago, and googled Bob to check he was still with us. RIP Bob.

I'll have an R.I.P please Bob!


.......blockbusters was brilliant. One of our friends was on that once, one of many childhood memories!

R.I.P

Even I can remeber watching blockbusters as young 'un and am Young

Heard on the news at lunch time. I guess time catches up with us all eventually, and he'd not had a bad innings, but still a sad day.

RIP, it is funny the older I get the younger the old people sound. My dad is 76 this year, very young and vital, and suddenly 83 does not sound that old. But what a good obituary to have so many people feel sad that you have died, I used to love his show, it was such a good link between kids and evening tv.

I'd like to think the story that he played the Saxaphone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street was really true.

Never a truer word spoken
