    A lad at work has his autograph, when  he signed it, he put a hexagon around it. Look out for it on Ebay soon.

    I knew that, but I'm in love with the myth. I still think a re release of 'Baker Street' will honour the man and the legend !

    Fair shout perhaps they'll play it at his funeral!

    Remember him doing one of the early ITV quizzes too, I think it was called 'Dotto'. Also did the early morning show on the old LBC . RIP Bob, a nice person.

    Ed Miliband paid a Twitter tribute to him today, saying that he fondly remembered him on 'Blackbusters'..............What a major tool that idiot is.

    Legend. RIP
