ITV need a show for the old Crossroads slot - so why not Bring back Blockbusters - it's been done before on BBC 2 & Sky One.
But only with Bob Holnes (spll?) - I know he didn't want to do it again - but ITV should offer him a lot - so he can't say no.
And it should be for Students

It's Holness - two S's. At least you admitted it might be wrong!
BBC2? When was that? I know about Liza Tarbuck's version on Sky though. Strange that it wasn't made by Carlton, since they own Central.

The beeb 2 version was hosted by Michael Parkinson as far as I remember. It was as lame as the Sky version.
The original show was by NO means a disaster! It was great! Although a re-make would be doubtless be awful. Let's hope Challenge re-run it again soon. I need to get a decent recording of the theme if nothing else...

I think the BBC have proved that old favourites can be revitalised and re-created successfully with Mastermind on BBC2. I think ITV should remake Blockbusters, which was always a favourite.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned yet about Bob Holness' unfortunate death last year?
I don't think he is dead, all he has done after Blockbusters is Raise The Roof (YTV, 1995, That was a cool quiz show) and Call My Bluff (BBC) and a cameo in Trigger Happy TV a couple of years ago. But there were adverts for Robinsons (Fruit Drinks) with the mystery of Who killed Bob Holeness, which was a joke and really the focus was never on him and the ads were crap.
I doubt if they brought Blockbusters Back in its original format with Bob, it would be a hit. Perhaps if they brought it back in PrimeTime with Bob, and instead of bringing students on, open it to all and bring in an audience. It would be a hit, with a bigger prize and no dictionaries please!!! lol
