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.

One of the greatest directors of all time, Victor Fleming, also died this day, 60 years ago (59).
Coincidentally -- besides Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Joan of Arc, etc, he directed a film called The Rough Riders (alternatively called The Trumpet Call), about the life of one Teddy Roosevelt!
