RIP Bob. Cue Stuart Maconie and his "I started the rumour that Bob Holness played the sax break on 'Baker Street' by Gerry Rafferty" story... again.

That's not even the best urban myth about Bob Holness. I spent years believing that he was the father of Nik Fiend from Alien Sex Fiend and the lead singer of Toto Coelo of I Eat Cannibals fame.
And he actually was the first person to play James Bond (albeit in a BBC Radio 4 play).

Sorry John but
In 1954 CBS paid Ian Fleming $1,000 ($8,171 in 2012 dollars[85]) to adapt his novel Casino Royale into a one-hour television adventure as part of its Climax! series.[86] The episode aired live on 21 October 1954 and starred Barry Nelson as "Card Sense" James 'Jimmy' Bond and Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre.

The latter one is true.

My thinking on Bob Holness is so fucked up.
Sorry Bob.

The theme from Blockbusters is possibly my favourite TV theme of all time along with Animal Hospital and Quantum Leap. I'll have an RIP Bob :-(

so not only did he not play on Baker Street but he wasn't the first James Bond??
― piscesx, Saturday, 7 January 2012 13:02 (fourteen years ago)
I'm not even sure if he was Nik Fiend's dad either.
