I actually remember this day clearly, as it was my eleventh birthday. Strange, as it’s it’s one of very few childhood birthdaysI vividly remember. I remember finishing school that day as if it was yesterday.
Much preferred the version of the Blockbusters game board here, with the incomplete hexagons forming the border, than the later modified one with full hexagons. This one looked way neater. The new one also created a continuity problem with the refreshed opening titles, as they launched those around the same time as the new board and was always mismatched with the way it looked in the intro to how it looked in the actual show.
Where would the Blockbusters episude be played out from? Norwich possibly? Most other regions were a reigning Blockbusters Mon-Sat however some regions had a reduced Wed-Sat pattern instead due to their preference for Emmerdale Farm or Sons and Daughters at 5.15 on Mondays and Tuesdays.. this. episode would have been shown on on Border, , Tyne Tees, HTV, UTV, YTV, Granada, Central and possibly Thames some months before and would have been played out to those regions by Central.? Would Anglia and the others have simply recorded that playout and stored it for play out at a later date?
CAN I HAVE P BOB? YOU CAN BUT JUST YET YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE OF BLOCKBUSTERS OH NO I CAN'T HOLD IT THAT LONG HAVE YOU GOT A BUCKET?
I so wish could go back to then..the ITV channel reading out the birthdays, Blockbusters, Bob Holness...such great days

Hello Ken from Stockport School - seems like a nice boy - Wonder how he is now?
Ken was inspired by 'pretty in pink ' in his clothing choice it seems
This is a very clean off the air recording, was it Betamax?
