I'm sure a quick Wikipedia edit would set tongues wagging.

Cause of death anyone?

Self righteous boredom probably!

I was a big 'Blockbusters' fan back in the day. RIP Bob.

RIP. Apparently he loved the (false) story about him playing the sax on Baker St and didn't everything he could to spread it!

I'll have the Blockbusters theme in my head for the afternoon now.

Huh ?

83 years people. 83 years. A grand life. If I am fortunate enough to live anything like 83 years I will die reasonably happy. Well done old man.

My favourite exchange was this one.

It would be a much better story if it was Bob!

Sad news, I always watched Blockbusters after school in the early 90s. Bob seemed like a good character.

Whoa, thats spooky. I was watching blockbusters last night and somebody asked if he was dead, and I checked online and it said no, he's still knocking around.

RIP Bob, I hope they all do that blockbusters dance by the graveside.

He always had very nice neck ties too.

ha, me too. couple of hairy students from derry on it!

RIP Bob

Same here, switched on the tv last night and blockbusters was on challenge tv, I don't think we have ever watched that station ever before.
Sad times, but some good memories.
