Bob Holness

TV quiz show returns on digital TV channel

Less than a month after the death of Bob Holness, a new series of popular quiz show Blockbusters is set to start filming.

Mr Holness, grew up in Herne Bay and Ashford before a broadcasting career which saw him host the ITV quiz show for ten years. His death was mourned by millions when he passed away.

And now Blockbusters is set for another return to the screen with shooting of new episodes beginning next month at the Sky Studios in London.

The series will air on game show channel Challenge.

Rather than students, the new series will have adults pitting their wits against one another.

It is not yet known who will be hosting the series.

Mr Holness died on January 6 aged 83.
