Gold to gold in 60 seconds or less - oh no. We should all get together and do a commemorative Blockbusters Hand Jive in memoriam.

And lets not forget the urban myth that he played the saxophone on Baker Street. I can't believe it. It was only on Wednesday that Jackson Junior and I were watching an old episode of Blockbusters on satellite and I was telling her about "I'll have a P please Bob".

RIP Bob Holness.

They have been running Blockbusters on Challenge tv for a few weeks now.

Bit late on this but I was rather sad to hear of Bob's passing, some of my early childhood television memories were of watching Blockbusters on Thames, shame all the gameshows now have to have "celebrities" or the concept of greed as the main aim to the game.

He was. That much is fact.
What I can't say as fact (but I'm pretty sure it's right) is the story was Casino royale and it was 1953.

Oh no oh no oh no. She has been in a mess for years so its not surprising I suppose, but oh no anyway. What a woman, what a voice what a performer. Bobby Brown you have a LOT to answer for - you found an honest, humble, relatively sheltered woman with strong principles and good values and you turned her into a desperate junkie you BASTARD.

Sorry. I'm really upset, I loved her.

That's all I know him from, I liked the guard's role. It might not be 'cool' to like Stardust, but it's an ace film.

I'm old enough to remember as a kid watching him in 'Me Mammy' with Milo O'Shea, who is still alive! 8O

Ask your grandparents. :(

Comedian Frank Carson has died aged 85.

Oh no. Not that I found him funny, but many did and he represented his genre in his time as well as anyone and better than most.
