Rest In Peace Please Bob

On 27th and 28th August 1987, my schoolmate Rob and I filmed two editions of Blockbusters at Central TV in Nottingham. We didn't get to do any gold runs, just won the one game but did come away with £75, a filofax, a very fetching white cardigan and this Blockbusters dictionary. Bob Holness was an absolute gent, even in the face of a studio full of know-it-all sixth-formers. He signed my dictionary and said we'd been "terrific" which was very generous of him.

And yes, we did get to say "Can I have a P please Bob?". The answer was "paparazzi".

Rest In Peace Bob.
