[@julietjarvis1881]

My unborn son used to kick to this theme tune every tea time. 💙 he will be 37 this year.beautiful memories.😗

[@Eromasta6]

he's 37 and still unborn?

[@nathanwilliams2152]

I can’t blame him - it was very catchy!

[@marygillespie4212]

I remember watching this episode with my daughter. She was 11 back then. Loved Bob.

[@Lava91point0]

The intro was glorious. Used to watch this after school on channel 4. The golden days

[@danielcrewe732]

For some strange reason I woke up with the theme tune stuck in my head, so just watched this with my kids. What a nostalgic blast from the past.

[@mansurahmed4577]

wow down memory lane. can’t forget this. use to watch this with my late father bring back memories.

[@jonathanbrown351]

Loved the show, I was just finishing university in 92...can't believe it is so long ago!!!

[@mikestravelshow]

I was just 9 when this was aired. Amazing how it seems like yesterday even this was 30 years ago.

[@brutalwang4106]

I just saw Blockbusters appear in the movie This is England. Wow, this brings back memories. I used to watch this as a child. I was never any good at it! Fond memories :)

[@wagonsworld9592]

This show has a place in my heart, and loads of fun memories from my blockbuster book which I still have xxx

[@ghaithkalamn7947]

interesting, i didn't know there such book , may i ask you which book ? i found many versions under the name of blockbuster

[@alunchurcher7060]

I used to love watching this quiz always learned something each episode I watched.

[@jamesfish18]

I used to really love this show, Bob really reminds me of my Dad

[@davesmatedave]

I remember a Scottish lad on this show in the mid '80s. He was such a smart ass contestant and would answer his questions with such arrogance. There was a question with the letters BBYD, which went a bit like - what a little boy might say to his pal while playing Cowboys & Indians. He answered with such disgust in his tone, as if to say how dare you ask me such an easy question, and even stuck his own word at the beginning when he said "Oh Bang Bang You're Dead!" I've been looking for it on YT for years but still haven't found it.

[@paulthrutner9114]

Imagine winning a gold run and your prize is to go on holiday to North Wales😀😀😆

[@TheRojo387]

Better yet, Northern Norway!

[@FiscalWoofer]

😂

[@danielcrewe732]

Hahaha I was taking the mick out of that

[@deano72]

Miss this great show

[@jontaylor4511]

cracked up once when there was a hexagon with FU in it, and the kid says 'FU please'

[@dalebenton3354]

I used to wath Blockbusters,Good show,Got a lot of the questions right as well

[@mercuryvapoury]

Everything about this show is just so warm, from the analogue nature of the board to the way that Bob says "You dare!" when the lad almost picked the J. Interestingly, this did happen in one episode, there was a neutral square, but the contestants filled up the entire board as they were the first, and last ones to ever do this.

[@808music3]

Good old days of programs while still in my young days in college days.

[@wonjubhoy]

I used to play this game when I taught English as a foreign language. The Korean children I taught love this game.

[@jackmeadows7777]

I imagine they would love it!!

[@Wraith41186]

I remember playing it in French lessons, class vs class.

[@elgerardoedwardio2498]

Karl Pilkington's Rockbusters brought me here...

[@josephstewart2821]

It's a shame rockbusters never got a proper theme song, it was one of the only things blockbusters managed to do better.

[@aerialexplorer772]

Ah, so not only was Bob Holness a great saxophone player, did he also originate the design of the James Webb space telescope?

[@Mattie1979]

I can"t believe that this show was aired 31 years ago

[@mrnaughtycat]

It aired Even earlier than 1992 early 80s I think

[@jakeansell5408]

1983 it started

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

@@mrnaughtycat It started in 1983 in the 3.30 slot before being moved to its more familiar 5.15 slot.

[@MrJayel27]

Ah,..back when Challenge showed more than just Pointless and Millionaire lol

[@_Eire_]

Have taken part when Bob conducted it in Dubai in early 80s [Courtesy: KT?!?. And, later in the local version "Capital Letters" at Ajman Studios. Good memories.

[@RalphMcGinnis-bd8ld]

I watched the original USA version in the 1980's, which Bill Cullins originally hosted. It's a fine show.

[@danielcrewe732]

I’m going on eBay to look for a blockbusters dictionary now. I want one

[@IanTaylorTravels]

I’d love to have an E please Bob

[@kevinprior3549]

What a beautiful young lady that Nicola was and probably still is.

[@MadEmuMedia]

[@tonyhancock3912]

Used to bore me to tears this show. Nice memories though

[@gavva2010]

Oh, but each episode was only about "half-hour" :)

[@stephensnell1379]

Do shut up complaining

[@josephstewart2821]

But bob Holness tried to spice it up with all those set decorations they added - people were easily entertained in the early 90s

[@albert276]

“Yeah” “Yes Bob” “...yes Bob”

[@EgoChip]

The Blockbusters theme music is S tier.. So good.

[@Crustle1]

I'm here from Karl Pilkington to find out what real 'Rockbusters' sound like!

[@0ctoplasm]

can't believe these guys nicked karl's idea

[@vampmode9132]

Right, sort of might go there on sundees, might walk yer dog round there, 'ave a taste of it

[@josephstewart2821]

Right, I'm never doing this show again!

[@darkstarr2321]

I remember watching this as a kid and thinking that Nicola was pretty!

[@kevinprior3549]

I'll have a P please Bob... couldn't resist could she lol. And then gold runs are tough. Not sure I could've done it.

[@scorchx3000]

And now, here's the host of Blockbusters: Zeus. No, that's not Bob Holness, that's Zeus.

[@steeviem1835]

There's no real adolescent general knowledge quizzes, anymore... Only ego driven drovel , like reality and talent shows...Today, most kids know nothing, only what they see on social media...

[@gaykid80]

I wonder what Peter looks like today. He was pretty cute back then. ;)

[@michaelstevens630]

Bob - will have a Pee until cannot Pee no more.

[@TheRojo387]

Alternative title: Are Two Heads Better Than One?

[@johnmanning5568]

Not often a question is incorrect. The question was “what did Neil Armstrong say was a small step for Man….” and they interrupted with the answer ‘step’. The question should have said “what did Neil Armstrong say was a small step for a man…”. If he had really said “for Man” then it wouldn’t make sense! It would have him saying “This is one small step for Man(kind) but one giant leap for Mankind”.

[@Gallowaywind]

Any more clips from Challenge from this era?

[@MrJayel27]

Ah the second girl is compatible with both of the opposing team lol

[@Minus5Stars]

These will all be about 50 year old now.

Good old hole bobness!

[@tnewton1988]

2 lads at the start, Peter Blow and Stephen Bastard?

[@cheapy2006]

Bob Holness was shit cool.

[@katoness]

Never thought it was fair 2 against 1.

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

It was to test whether the old adage "two heads are better than one" was true.

[@1GeneralVibe]

Turns out...

[@danielwilliamson6180]

10:36 I've just noticed on the board on the 2nd row of letters are the letters O, R, A and C. Orac was the name of a fictional character from the sc-fi series Blake's 7.

[@pooledogg775]

I'd like an R please Bob. Which N is...

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

1:15 turn on captions and you'll see something epi

[@tyronerodgers]

Why was it always two versus one? Never got that. I was like 12 when this was broadcast…

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

The idea was to test whether the adage of two heads being better than one was true.

Did he say bastard peter

[@zacharycant8932]

18:00 do you think suppressor would have counted

[@omarnour348]

Don't think they'd have had a choice. They'd have had to have accepted it since it's the correct answer ( _not_ 'silencer').

[@michaelriordan8265]

Always putting his hand in front of his microphone and you couldn't hear what he was saying

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

should have let her have "unconsciousness"

[@stewartwest347]

Wonderful show. Some silly questions though such as "S" please Bob- What is a sudden police raid... answer "swoop". Could be Sting. Annoying program sometimes....

[@mackybmx]

5:47... How Gutted does he look for winning that prize!! 😂😂😂

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

Yes, lols, probably thinking what the heck have I won, probably doesn't like rock climbing.

[@MrJayel27]

The actual explanation behind the answer to B is complete bollocks. An unmarried man is a Batchelor, but an unmarried woman is a Spinster

[@Majedah62]

I think they were talking about the degree name which is a "Bachelor" like BA / BSc / BCom held by a man or woman

[@alunchurcher7060]

your showing your ignorance, have you never heard or a bachelor of arts to name just 1 degree.
