Re: Bob Holness, former Blockbusters host dies
What a shame.
When my kids were little they used to love Blockbusters.
RIP Bob.

Re: Bob Holness, former Blockbusters host dies
I'm very surprised that no TV company has brought back Blockbusters.. It was a great little quiz show that was innovative in it's 1 against 2 format..

Just for nostalgia reasons and respect to the late Bob... Cue the Blockbuster theme, as it was in the Bob Holness era.

And an even earlier version opening titles:-

Re: Bob Holness, former Blockbusters host dies
Funnily enough I watched Blockbusters last night, knew he was ill but thought he was on the mend
I see Ed Milliband paid tribute by calling the show Blackbusters, perhaps he still has Diane Abbott on the mind, every day in every way Ed shows he's a bigger prat than ever.
