I'll have an R.I.P please Bob. Was a legend to me as kid. Never got on the show though.

When I first started working at the BBC (1996, Birmingham Pebble Mill Press Office) they had recently relaunched Call My Bluff, with Holness presenting and I used to do the PR for ths show, which involved setting up interviews for Bob with journalists, sending our preview tapes, etc. Can honestly say he was possibly the nicest person I have ever had the pleasure to work for.

Towards the end, Bob really started to take the piss out of some of the more hopeless students, legend. Title: Re: RIP BOB. Post by: outragous76 on January 06, 2012, 03:42:24 PM good times - rip bob
