    An urban myth that Bob played along with but it was actually Raphael Ravenscroft.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Started in the NME by Stuart Maconie...

    Maconie also is credited with starting the urban legend that Bob Holness, UK host of the game show Blockbusters, played the sax solo on Gerry Rafferty's hit single "Baker Street". The rumour first appeared as a blatant joke in a spoof NME 'Believe It or Not' feature, but has since been repeated elsewhere as if it were true.

    Bob Holness walks through the Pearly Gates and the first person he meets is Amy Winehouse -

    Although Bob was one of the first actors to play 007 (on the radio); the USA's Barry Nelson beat him to the honour of being the very first Bond, however.
