I'll have an R.I.P please Bob

Six of the ten trending topics on Twitter right now are references to Bob Holness. Usually it's Justin Bieber, Twilight or Harry Potter. Shame it took his death to make that happen.
 
I'll always remember that guy who got asked the question about a microscopic form of life or something like that and instead of saying organism he said another hillarious word starting with O (which I wont repeat in case its considered a swear)
 
Urban myth, I think!

Yep

The saxophone riff was also the subject of an urban myth in the UK, created in the 1980s by British writer and broadcaster Stuart Maconie.[1] As one of the spoof facts invented for the regular "Would You Believe It?" section in the NME, Maconie falsely claimed that British actor and television presenter Bob Holness had played the saxophone part on the recording.[1] Later, the claim was widely repeated
 
Utterly gutted. Guy, and indeed the show itself, was an absolute legend. I still watch it from time to time on Challenge tv. Its not often I say it, but truly Bob, RIP.
