I knew he had suffered some strokes over the last few years, but was still shocked when I read the news at lunchtime. A very talented, and humble broadcaster, who will be sadly missed.

Oh my, this is very saddening news. I still thought we had a few years left of him yet! Really thought that.

This is probably the most shocked I've been since Elisabeth Sladen's death.

They might just about had enough time, but I doubt it.

You'd like to think some effort would be made to remember Bob in some respect in the new series.

Very sad to hear this today. A part of my childhood has gone. Here's how Blockbusters began in 1983. Rest in Peace Bob.

Does anyone have the amazing moment he appeared on Ant and Dec's Sat Night Takeaway when they revived it one saturday? I've been looking for that for ages.
RIP Bob - Legend.

Indeed, my nan only made it to 97 when we all expected her to reach at least 100. Sad

RIP Bob.

My arms used to get sore from doing this continuously at school . . .
