he s died aged 83. on sky now.

The second actor to play James Bond.

Ed Milliband's tribute is the most poignant

Sad to hear that Bob Holness has died. A generation will remember him fondly from Blackbusters.

Played the Saxaphone on "Baker Street"........................................................................................

No he didn't - that's an myth started my Stuart MacConie.

Hence the massive ammount of ...........................................................after i said it

Hmm.

Sad news, more likely that today will be remembered for Miliband's minion's screw up too

It's not that sad. He's had a longer than average life and achieved more than most. 83 is a good age to bow out, and, whilst it will undoubtedly be upsetting for his family, I don't think it's particularly sad news when someone of that age dies.

especilly not when they are in ill health having suffered a number of strokes, condolances to his family, but I'd imagine he was fed up of "existing" in a nursing home.

I'll have an r.i.P please, Bob.

I thought he was the first?

Nope, that honour went to Barry Nelson in 1954. Holness played Bond in 1956

RIP Bob Holness.
