Ya and it seems Ed Millipede was shouting give us a "A" instead of an "O":D

Re: Bob Holness
 

Bob Holness was one of the growing list of TV faces that we grew up with in the 1960s 70s and 80s, who are now passing on. Other recent examples have been Robert Robinson and Jimmy Saville

Each time I hear one of them has died, I feel a little bit of my childhood has gone too.

RIP
