Bob Holness :(

I know! sad times! he was very poorly tho, had several strrokes and was in a nursing home☹️

Was he on Surprise Surprise or am I completely on the wrong track?!

Did he have some sort of puppet? Or am I still on the wrong track?!

Can I have a P please Bob?

Blockbusters!!!

Aww bless....

It was Blockbusters Tricks - "Give me a P please Bob"

Anyone remember the unfounded rumour that he played the saxaphone on the beginning of Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street"?

Before he was proper poorly I used to see him on a Saturday morning going to the post office, he used to pop in to the gym from time to time to say hello.... loved him!

? OMG. I cant believe I thought that!

RIP Bob.

As an aside does anyone know the bloke who I was talking about?!

Wasn't that Cilla Black? So completely the wrong track...

No but I also didn't realise he played James Bond in a radio adaptation of Moonraker in the fifties!

I thought he'd already died.

Don't know who I thought he was...

Who was another Bob who died a few years ago?

Bob Monkhouse

I was watching blockbusters last night on challenge. Loved it when I was younger. I remember a young Konnie Huq was a contestant years ago! Sad that Bob has passed away

Bob Monkhouse?

Bob Carolges! He had Spit the Dog.

That's the fella! Cheers Flange!

Was that not Bob Carolgies (sp)? He had Spit the dog.

RIP Bob.x

Yeah, Bob Monkhouse, that's the one.

I used to LOVE watching this !

Am still pissed off with how I found out, been in the pub at lunch and got a text that said - "what 'D' is Bob Holness ?

Can I get an RIP please, Bob?

Too soon?

Tut tut.

Not if my text message wasnt !

They don't take long...

So sad. I used to love watching Blockbusters as a kid. Always reminds me of being over at my Nan's house, eating her home made chips with brown sauce while she had the fire on WAY too high even in summer.

Too true, I feel bad for my reply...

Text recieved - What 'D' is Bob Holness ?

My reply - Decompsoing ?

Oooohhhhh dear. Ed Miliband appears to have ballsed up by tweeting about Bob Holness of "Blackbusters" fame passing away... Bad timing for a typo.

RIP Bob. ☹️

RIP Bob.

Blockbusters was legendary! I used to watch it after school when I was little (mini geek!).

At the risk of sounding very stupid, this is a joke right !!??!!

☹️ RIP Bob. Blockbusters was fantastic

RIP Bob.

I used to love Blockbusters, I think I even has the boardgame.

Aw no I hadn't heard, RIP Bob ☹️. I used to love blockbusters so much, had the Amstrad computer game of it when I was little!
