The tea-time champion

TV presenter Bob Holness is most known and loved for the quiz show Blockbusters, which was broadcast at tea-time every weekday for a decade. The easy-going style of 77-year-old Bob made it a success. But since leaving television, Bob has faced his own challenge: hearing loss, he says "I first noticed it was going nine years ago. In company, I was having real problems. If I wanted to talk to somebody further up the dinner table I found it difficult. But I was a bit reluctant to get help."
