    OK, I know this might be considered 'All Things Retro' but perhaps not in this case...

    Does anyone know if there are any plans to make new episodes of Blockbusters? This was actually quite a good quiz show and I think with a bit of updating and better prizes it could possibly be a winner once again.

    I'd love if they had Bob Holness back

    Wikipedia tells me:

    After finishing on ITV, the show continued for a few years on the satellite channel Sky One, though some ITV regions continued to show the series. Reruns from 1992 have been shown on Challenge. Carlton Select also showed old shows, while that channel was still operational.

    Subsequent series have been made for adult contestants, broadcast by BBC Two in 1997 (presented by Michael Aspel) and Sky One again in 2000 (presented by Liza Tarbuck). These versions failed to capture the same degree of popularity as the Holness incarnation.

    Ah yeah, that would be great.

    I LOVED blockbusters.
