RIP Bob Holness

The place to kick back, relax, post general bullshit, and grill a few on the BBQ. Whatever doesn't fit into another forum would go here. We periodically go through and move posts to the correct forum, but we do charge a case of Beer every time we have to.

Bob Holness died today aged 83.

Bob was the host of a popular student quiz show called Blockbusters and was a bit of a national treasure to people aged 30-40.

He was also the 2nd James Bond playing him in a radio play in South Africa but he didn't play the saxophone solo on the Gerry Rafferty hit Baker Street which is a popular urban myth.
