Farewell to Bob Holness

The man they invented "avuncular" for, but not in a bad way.

When Bob Holness appeared on TV in the late 80s, a generation of students knew it was time to get out of bed. While a generation of people now in their middle age are immortalised, spot-covered, on video with their favourite teddy or other embarrassing good luck charm.

We'll have a "T" for "Thanks", please Bob. And let's hope you're going on the Gold Run.
