Bob Monkhouse

Bob's your man....From Wikipedia ...

It was hosted by the popular Bob Monkhouse (1980�1983) and then from 1983 to 1985 by Max Bygraves, who received some criticism for his hosting of the show. After being rested for the whole of 1986 (during which time Bygraves offered to finance its production himself) it returned with Les Dennis in 1987, and had a consistently successful run for the next fifteen years. Dennis left in 2002, then it was moved out of peak time and became a daily daytime show, hosted by Andy Collins, but it only had a short run in this format before being axed. The revived version for 2006 is hosted by Vernon Kay.

When asked if he was nervous before going on stage, Max Bygraves replied 'No because I know there is no one who could do it better'. Modesty personified!!!
