Blockbusters 1991 Mark Clulo and Tim Senior

A blast from the past when I (Mark) had hair - and lots of it :-)

[@theotyler8350]

Blockbusters would have been 41 years old from next year! If it would have remained on television! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@keithbentley6081]

If it had remained.

[@labradormcgraw]

Loved Blockbusters. This reminds me of the good old days - everything was so much simpler then.

[@chillz535]

Blockbusters was early evening ITV at its finest.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

​@@chillz535It was a fairly trivial quiz show but Bob had such enthusiasm for the gold runs and his contestants, he made you feel it was worth watching. A fine example of a presenter making a show stand out.

[@theravenhaslanded321]

Yes our phones were attached to the wall... what exactly was "simpler"? 😂

[@my_beer_stories]

Bob was such a legend. The coolest old dude ever, full stop.

[@theotyler8350]

If you are thinking, that blockbusters has come to a complete stop, you are completely wrong! Because, Simon Mayo is the new presenter of the show! Before taking over from Bob Holness! Simon Mayo was a radio presenter! ❤❤❤

[@theotyler8350]

To be honest with you, Bob Holness looks like he could leave until 1932!

[@theotyler8350]

But really, he passed away January 6, 2012! He was 83 years old when he died! And, he was born November 12, 1928! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Bobby was the guvnor🧐

[@theotyler8350]

Blockbusters came back to television in 2012 on the channel challenge with Simon Mayo! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@C345OFR]

Emma's got a wonderful disposition! The kind of person you'd enjoy being around :-) .

[@theotyler8350]

It was on the channel BTW, when Bob was the presenter! Sadly, blockbusters is no longer on television anymore! 😢😢😢😢 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bullyinspace]

U don’t realise how amazing and carefree life was back then

[@theravenhaslanded321]

Blockbusters was always worth watching. Thanks so much for uploading this classic! The compilation was awesome.😊

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

I’m feeling nostalgic ! 90s we peaked as a civilisation

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Bob helped us peak🎉

[@speedbird737]

watching this in 2022 - still a brilliant watch !

[@theotyler8350]

Blockbusters started with Simon Mayo from the year Bob Holness passed away! And it stopped showing on television in 2019!😊

[@theotyler8350]

Blockbusters, was 36 years old! If it was to go on starting next year, right now it would have been 41 years old! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Watching in 2024😱📺👀

[@theotyler8350]

It is a shame, that Bob Holness is no longer alive! But, blockbusters is still alive! Because, the new presenter is Simon Mayo! And, not anymore! But, he used to be a radio presenter before taking over for the game show blockbusters! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@danwoodvine5900]

I love Blockbusters!

[@theotyler8350]

You are not the only one! Everybody loves blockbusters!

[@theotyler8350]

It is now presented by Simon Mayo! He took over from Bob holders in 2012!

[@theotyler8350]

Bob was born November 12, 1928! He was presenting blockbusters, until he was 83 years old!

[@mistofoles]

"Can I have "U" please, Bob." - How we tittered !

[@BenBanjo87]

Those two guys were great! Sarah and Emma were really sweet too, though - wish they'd got longer on the show 💖

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Love Bob's Sharp Suites

[@BenBanjo87]

'R for sixpence' 🤣🤣🤣 Good old Bob! That made me chuckle!

[@wrexham1983]

12:30 Sounds proper welsh when Geraint says Environment

[@CragScrambler]

I'll have a P Please Bob.

[@RobertLocksley385]

I'm ashamed that nobody else upvoted this. Well done, lad.

[@wrexham1983]

45:17 Let’s play Blockbusters !

[@TimSenior]

And my hair wasn't grey! I've not seen that since broadcast!

[@johnflavin1602]

It was a great quiz show. Enjoyed watching it in the 90s.

[@C345OFR]

How were the trips to Vienna, Singapore and Thailand?

[@wrexham1983]

42:06 love the gold run theme

[@wrexham1983]

42:13 the ending gets me

[@TargetSurvival]

Hi Mark, I'm wondering, did you join the RAF?

[@RobertLocksley385]

Bob Holness played the saxophone solo on Jerry Rafferty's "Baker Street", you know.

[@matthewgrist6454]

No he didn’t.. urban myth

56:22 ahhhhhh

[@markheying2830]

Do you remember if you chose Tim as your Partner before the start of the Show?

[@joiedeceivre]

Sarah of course later changed her name to Jess Phillips

[@WillScarlet1991]

Uploader, what month in 1991 was this recorded, and how long for it to air ?

[@speedbird737]

strange question

[@WillScarlet1991]

@@speedbird737 Not really. I'd like to know how long it took between the recording of the show and the actual air date.

[@pygiana16]

Bob was always slightly awkward in his banter with young people.

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

There was a big age gap

[@Norfolk250]

What’s his name? The single lad

[@elizabethbower2168]

Geraint
