Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse

[Techno]

I saw this documentary on TV yesterday and it's really interesting. Available on iPlayer until 10th January:

The Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse

Contains rare archive footage of Celebrity Squares and Lenny Henry as well as Bob's own programmes like Bob's Full House, taped by Bob himself as the official tapes were wiped.

I saw that it was really good he seemed like a genuine nice bloke and he took his collecting of videos tapes and memorabelia very seriously.

Thanks for the tip, will watch it soon. Anyone remember his comedy sketch show 'Bonkers' with the American group the Hudson Brothers (who also happened to be mighty fine musicians, with a string of excellent albums)?
Always loved his Squares catch-phrases: 'Pick a star!' and 'Hello Pattie, Hello Bobby!' Nice man.
