	Bob Monkhouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bob Monkhouse was born in Beckenham, Kent, and educated at Dulwich College, from which he was expelled; he worked briefly as an animator before his national service.
		Monkhouse became a favourite with impressionists, and, as his style of comedy fell out of favour, was often mocked for his slickness and apparent insincerity.
		Monkhouse married twice, to Elizabeth in 1949 (divorced in 1972), and to Jacqueline in 1973, for the rest of his life.

	Monkhouse, Bob
		From the start Monkhouse was determined that he should be the presenter, and even went to the expense of having a telerecording made of the episode in which he made a guest appearance, in order that Lew Grade, boss of ATV, should see how he could rescue what was then a fading show.
		Monkhouse did indeed rescue the programme, not only enlivening it with his wise-cracking comedy, but also changing the format, simplyfying it and making it more visually appealing and exciting.
		This was a raunchier and racier Monkhouse than the TV public were used to seeing, and as the programmes were recorded close to transmission they were filled with topical gags.

	Welcome to my Bob Monkhouse page
		I have never disliked Bob but it was not until a year ago when I got to see some of his late night TV shows on ITV here in the UK that he won me over with his jokes and the way he delivers them.
		In my own opinion Bob is not funny on game shows but he is good at presenting them, he really excels at late night adult orientated jokes.
		Well, for those who don't know, Bob is one of Britain's top comedian game show hosts and has been in the business for over 50 years!.
