Gooseberry Crumble 5,344 Posted January 6, 2019 On this day in 2012 British TV and radio presenter Bob Holness died aged 83 after years of suffering from vascular dementia. He was of course most famous for his role on ITV's wordgame Blockbusters in the 1980s. Born on the 12th of November in 1928 in South Africa Bob's media career first began in radio in 1955.He also dabbled in a little acting and actually in his early career portrayed James Bond in a Radio production of Moonraker on Springbok Radio. He had also previously presented on television "Take a letter" in 1962 and post Blockbusters was the chairman of a revived Call my bluff. It was of course Blockbusters though that he is most famous for and made him a TV icon of sorts. PS I only seem to be able to post pictures if I take them from social media sites like twitter(If it has worked this time which remains to be seen!) , I used to be able to do it easily but have either lost the knack and forgotten or the protocol has changed?Could some kind forum member please advise me either on the thread or in a private message how to post pictures or direct me to were up to date information and advice is on how to do so!Many Thanks in advance.
