I'll have an RIP please, Bob

[ParadigmShifter]

RIP Bob Holness, most famous for being the host of UK quiz Blockbusters.

He was also the 2nd man to play the role of James Bond in a radio play.

EDIT: Contrary to the popular urban myth, he did not play the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's hit "Baker Street".

I used to enjoy watching Blockbusters after college in the early 80s.

Oh, gosh. I always liked Blockbusters, though I was a bit young at the time to properly appreciate it. It's sad to see him go.
