Re: Bob Holness, former Blockbusters host dies
RIP Bob Holness i remember him best for the breakfast show he did in the early days of LBC radio in London with Douglas cameron, from the mid 1970s until the mid 80s by all accounts a real pleasure to work with and a old school gentleman,LBC done a lovely tribute to him on James Whales drive show interviewing his old partner Douglas Cameron.

Re: Bob Holness, former Blockbusters host dies
I always rather liked Blockbusters. Just a bit different.
RIP Bob.

TV quiz show Blockbusters is making a comeback shortly after the death of its original host Bob Holness.
The programme was a teatime ITV hit throughout the 1980s as three contestants battled it out, two against one, to reach the "Gold Run" section.
Now a 40-episode series of the programme is to be screened by Challenge TV in the next few months, although this time it will be aimed at grown-ups rather than teenagers

Re: Bob Holness, former Blockbusters host dies
It will be another one of those not quite right Quiz shows following the death of their original hosts.
After various hosts for Countdown, it just isn't the same without Richard Whiteley.
The format of the shows may be the same but it's the host what makes the show IMO.

Yes l agree with Countdown especially as Jeff Stelling or Des Lynam just never had that Whiteley magic.
