Bob was a really genuine, down to earth nice bloke. I have been on a couple of game shows with different hosts, and Bob was easily the nicest. He took time to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated
I guess when it comes to popular quiz shows in the UK, this one was probably that one. In the US, Blockbusters only lasted from 1980-1982, and returned only briefly in 1987. The longest running quiz show in America is Jeopardy, where its current run has been going strong since 1984.
Wow. I can't recall any other contestant winning a round in under two minutes on either the U.S. or U.K. versions. First time for me, though! And doesn't Bob Holness look a bit like Bill Cullen?
What did you spend the money on man ? :) . I loved this show and am so jealous of anyone who ever got on it . My favourite part of Blockbusters though was when anyone decided to not try and get blockbusters but to maybe try and make an extra 5 or 10 pound and Bob would get really annoyed...lol

I love the way you put your hand up to answer "office". Just like back in school :)

I believe that I say at this point:
'Yes, baby'

That Bob's a sly fox at the end.

birdy100: It was recorded in Aug/Sept 1986. Transmitted in early 1987 I believe.

Oh so you are Aidan Simmington? Good to meet you
It's AUSTIN POWERS!
I thought with this being a very old episode, it used the old font with the weird looking 'K'.

So you want to be Prime Minster? How tall are you? Awesome school of thought from Bob. Good work buddy - you did well.
Thanks. If I'd known they would allow my wife to post here, I would have disabled comments!
You didn't make prime minister, then.
Good vid!
Were you ever in The Zombies? ;)
@precinct that's no way to talk of Bob Holness.
Hey bungalowlegs. I guess he would rather be bullied than universally hated, which I've no doubt you are.
