[HelmutVillam]

RIP Bob

[depman1972]

RIP legend

[tallpaddy]

Blockbusters was an awesome quiz show and Bob was the magical presenter who made the show his own. Let's face it nobody else could match his talent on this programme. He was simply wonderful and if anyone deserves the title Legend- well Bob you are a Legend...

Thank you for the memories- onwards to Blockbusters in Heaven- RIP

[cyaninternetpig]

[Sloposse]

I used to be addicted to this after school I could watch it forever brilliant quiz show

[ChrisATV301]

They should never have taken it away..

[shaurz]

The must be the nerdiest people ever on TV :-)

[thisiswho2]

What B was the name of arguably the best gameshow of all time?

[TheShepster80]

@thisiswho2 Bullseye!!!

[thisiswho2]

@TheShepster80

It's good but it's not right!

[TheShepster80]

@thisiswho2 Let me just check that with bully!

[TheShepster80]

@thisiswho2 rrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeewwww­ww

[fyphfoko]

that portable music playerv will come in handy for playing their whole stack of records

[mnyoung1971]

They really need to put this back on TV! They need something instead of the tired Weakest Link, and a revamped Blockbusters would be brilliant, I think Nicky Campbell would make a great host ( I loved Bob in the 80s though!).

And they should keep the theme music as close to the original as possible.

[Turtleclaw1]

I was on Blockbusters shortly after this, and they sent me and a friend on the same skiing trip as Jane, the solo girl, and a mate of hers. We went to Arinsal in Andorra for a week.

[shootingbucks]

I'll have a M please Bob

[S0CKit2Me]

I always remember the high pitched buzzer being for the white team, and the lower pitched for the blue team!!

[steeviebops]

@S0CKit2Me Indeed. This was the way it was originally done, the buzzers were reversed in later years.

RIP Bob :(

[Rosie2396]

[johnnyfest]

[MEpianist]

The mom in This Is England was watching this. This American is a true fan of English culture!

[mumbojumbo766]

@MEpianist this was on at tea time ( 5:00 ) a couple of other shows kids watched after school were , grange hill and kick start

[themushieman]

BOC...

[kcirdrab]

Am I the only 1 who thought this was a really good T.V. show & was amazed that they took it off mainstream T.V. back in 1993. It was eminently watchable then & looking at this it still is - which T.V. land muppet cancelled it & WHY?

[TheFirecogicuk]

I thought this was a good show. I used to watch this when i was a child, love it.

[Aaronator19842009]

I was also born in 1984 too hankeyj84.

[andyjshaw]

No. Rafael Ravenscroft was the real sax player. Stuart Maconi started a rumour in the NME that it was Bob but alas it wax not!

[thewildcat1000]

Someone once told me that Bob played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. Is this true?

[hankeyj84]

Good old Bob. looks like a professional University Professor. plus I was born in 84 woohoo"!

[Lamphmusic]

hey, cool video! :)

If u liked blockbusters, check out my latest video.

It's a really well edited video that contains the greatest game show theme tune ever written... i.e. the Blockbusters theme!!!

and it is also a playable quiz!

If u leave a comment on the video and subscribe to my channel, I'll give u back 5 subs in return...

[IncendiaryWit11]

i think i have a crush on robin, haha

[jbutton113]

Robin seemed like a very happy guy. The other two looked really miserable.

[Kekzor1337]

lololol

[shaddowbright]

Wow, very nice. Here in Germany the Gameshow was known as "Supergrips". Was broadcasted till about 1990. What a pitty that the show is not on TV anymore.

Here for the screen graphics was used an AMIGA computer!

[webbhead92]

Dig those shoulder pads.

[lincsposter]

Bob Holness was a class presenter! The show is a legend!

[BriSchwa82]

The man who hosted the American version, Bill Cullen, had glasses the exact same size. I guess when they were casting the host, large glasses were a priority. LOL. Seriously though Bob Holnes is an amazing host and I'll never get enough of that music.

[BriSchwa82]

It was the same old game as here in America but the music was WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER!!! Where was the composer when we needed him?

[barrybas]

"It's never easy to catch up on speed"

Bob Holness's drug fueled shinanigans come out in the open...

[cheltube37]

I will have a wank please bob.

[stephenb1987]

look at all the shows that have returned or returning next year.

:Going For Gold

:The Krypton Factor

:Gladiators

:Maybe Blind Date with Davina McCall

Some people are saying maybe the crystal maze will return but we will see.

[prontford]

"I want to ask about your fantasy role-playing".

Sorry, I have a very adolescent mind.

[mistofoles]

That girl had glasses like re-entry shields, and wasn't she a miserable cow!

[jazzyjaz04]

everyone would watch this i remember that.

[GlasgowWall]

oh noes bromley boys got pwned

[eminemster2000]

she really wanted to avoid that p 8-)

[neildjreid]

can i have a P please bob...hahahaha..Grrrrrrrrrr.. NOT!.it was never funny the 1st time it was said and really got up my nose after the 100th time..

[kcirdrab]

That was part of the "in" joke, they knew what a fun & innocent world this show inhabited and played up to it.

[MidlandNinja]

BLOCKBUSTERS MUST RETURN!!!!!!

[Rlotpir1972]

I agree. Blockbusters should return for both the U.S. and England.

[coolcelt]

What about the rest of the United KIngdom?

[berbas7]

4 sure

[BillySnaddon]

@MidlandNinja Sadly Bob will have to return from beyond the grave. :-(

[BlackcountryMatt]

I remember watching this when i was a toddler back in 1993, i know this was 1984 but It was still on in the early 90's and i remember all the students were geeks and posh nob heads common people wouldnt stand a chance

[snotnosedlilkid]

what's Rose West doing on Blockbusters?

[CJED301]

Bob Holness was a pirate radio DJ & worked on Radio Luxembourg with Jimmy Savile OBE & he worked at Radio 1 in 1967 & LBC News radio in LOndon at the time of this clip

[0crowley]

I loved this show !! I remember I had a board game of this show as well where you place hexagonal tiles into the board! :) Great memories!

[deptford]

Bring this back! I loved this show!

[RobinCarmody]

Virtually all the contestants from posh schools who ever appeared on Blockbusters are now leading Cameronistas, I would suspect.

[grammargrub]

Good game. Yeh bring back Blockbusters!

[RustyNormandale]

Thanks for that first bona-fide experience with the British Blockbusters.

DASH-und, is it?

[bradbeaver]

We need blockbusters back. C'mon

[zeldafanii]
