    Oh, that's a shock. I'm sure I heard Blockbusters was coming back soon and had visions of Bob back in the chair. However, he was 83 (another surprise), so maybe it was never going to happen with him.

    Just heard the news on the radio! Never heard him on the radio as JB. However i do remember blockbusters very well! A real shame we have lost another member of the Bond family.

    Condolences and best wishes to his family and friends

    Nooooooo. 'Can I have a P please Bob?' Loved that line and watched the show for it.

    R.I.P Bob.

    RIP Bob. True Gent & Blockbusters was great. Is there a recording of his Bond radio play available?
