I'm sure a lot of old uns remember Blockbusters that staple of ITV's teatime schedule many moons ago.

Theme tune was really catchy.

Brought back many memories of "Give us a B Bob" :p

Give us an RIP.

And by the way, I'm not old! I watched it during my primary school years. I was a precocious child. :|

I remember him from LBC in the mornings: Bob and Doug (Douglas Cameron).

I'll have a P please, Bob.

I used to watch Blockbusters as a kid, used to love the titter that ran through the audience when the players requested a P. Very sad to hear that Mr Holness has passed away, rest in peace gone but will not be forgotten..

Classic clip on ITV morning news

Bob: "What O is used to describe (animals, people, can't quite remember the question)"
Contestant: "Orga*m"
Bob: "That would be organism"

I used to love Blockbusters. Sad news, true gent.
