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...

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.

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

[@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.

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.

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

[@knidhi8993]

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.

[@808music3]

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

[@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.

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

[@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

[@pooledogg775]

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

Unconsciousness means completely knocked out so that's why they didn't accept it

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

[@SophieCrane-o7v]

This Particular Series (The 10th Series) of Blockbusters (For Me) Always Stands Out from the Rest.

[@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....

[@AcornElectron]

13:20 she says B

[@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”.

[@albert276]

“Yeah” “Yes Bob” “...yes Bob”

[@Minus5Stars]

These will all be about 50 year old now.

I loved the series of blockbusters with Bob Holiness loved hearing his voice I had a crush on him in my prime time

[@michaelriordan8265]

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

[@mistofoles]

Excuse me - Did he say the guy on the right was called Peter Bastard ? :D

[@chrisbalanda9368]

Did he say bastard peter

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').

"Still no flashing light" Idk why the American version always had flashing lights even when there wasnt 2 lights close to eachother.

[@katoness]

Never thought it was fair 2 against 1.

[@tyronerodgers]

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