Story HERE.

Unless there was another foreign version of Blockbusters since 1980, Bill Rafferty is the only Blockbusters host still with us today.

Still, it's a sad loss in the game show world. R.I.P. Mr. Holness.

Besides Bill Rafferty, there are 7 other hosts (that I know of) of international verions of Blockbusters who are still with us. They are UK's Michael Aspel & Liza Tarbuck, Australia's Michael Pope, Germany's Frank Laufenberg & Ingo Dubinski and Italy's Corrado Tedeschi & Paolo Bonolis.

By the way, Holness' daughter Ros was a member of the now-defunct UK girl band Toto Coelo(known as Total Coelo in the US because a band called Toto was already in existence) and had a a song called "I Eat Cannibals, Part 1", which reached #66 in the US and #8 in the UK. The video for "I Eat Cannibals, Part 1" is HERE.
