I feel this wording gives a false impression, as Bob Monkhouse was not reanimated to star in the advertisements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.111.166 ( talk) 10:36, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
I distinctly remember reading in an issue of the British Film magazine Empire where Bob talked about this case and mentioned that they had destroyed copies of rare movies,many of them being the sole survivors. Sadly I no longer have my copies of the magazine to find a date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richey4RealCa ( talk • contribs) 18:06, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Not knowing much about Bob Monkhouse's history, the line:
In 1979 he starred in a sketch comedy television series called Bonkers! with the Hudson Brothers, a job he hated.
seems rather terse. Knowing why he hated it would be more helpful and revealing. Otherwise delete the fact that he hated it.
Also the statement:
Many of the films in his collection were seized and destroyed (including what would have been the only surviving copies of some films).
is not clear.
Does out refer to Bob Monkhouse's private collection (in which case was it involved with the court case?) or does it refer to all the other copies of the movies that existed for different reasons?

This article says that Monkhouse was probably best known for presenting Family Fortunes and The Golden Shot. Surely he was also known for presenting a programme called Celebrity Squares? Vorbee ( talk) 09:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
