Over the next ten years he established himself as one of the most successful live acts in the country; as well as putting together a string of acclaimed TV and radio credits.

Comic Start

Bob left school early to join the merchant navy; but quit, just nine days into his training. He drifted around London for a while, working valet in King’s Cross, until he discovered the alternative comedy scene; paying £1 to see Mark Thomas and Mark Steel, at the Market Tavern in Islington in 1983. Two years later he started on the London scene himself. He quickly became one of the most respected Comedy comperes on the circuit; as well as being a quick witted comic in his own right.

Win Lose Or Draw

His performances as host of ITV’s flagship daytime game show ‘Win Lose Or Draw’; treading the fine line between pensioners favourite and students cult hero, and his weird and wonderful late night ‘In Bed With Medinner’. Are still remembered fondly wherever intelligent TV fans meet.

Other TV Shows

Bob Mills also hosted ‘There’s Only One Brian Moore’; and ‘Dial Midnight’ for LWT, ‘Not A Lot Of People Know That’ for BBC1; as well as over 200 shows for VH1, including major documentary and interviews with Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Cher. He also appeared on the weakest link comedian’s special.

In 1995 he starred in what he regards as his finest work to date, C4’s ‘The Show’. These eight one hour programmes featuring fly on the wall film of the making of a real chat show; widely regarded as the template for much of the reality TV, that continues to dominate the schedules today.

TV & Radio

A Leyton Orient fan, Bob is a regular guest on Talksport Radio; as well as presenting his own shows on BBC London and often covers for Danny Baker. He’s also a popular guest on ‘Fighting Talk’ (BBC radio 5) and loose ends (BBC radio 4).

Since 1996 Bob Mills has combined his TV, radio and live performances; with his role as writer and producer. He was responsible for two series of ITV’s award winning, critically acclaimed ‘Bob Martin’; giving Michael Barrymore his acting debut. On his debut as a film producer, he helped Julie Walters to a best actress BAFTA, in ‘My Beautiful Son’. Also receiving his own coveted nomination from the academy.

Bob co-wrote and produced ‘Stan The Man’ (which starred John Thomson & Gaynor Faye), the six part comedy drama ‘Northern Lights’ which starred Mark Benton and Robson Green; as well as an episode of Shameless and the feature length film ‘Pierrepoint’, that starred Timothy Spall & Juliet Stevenson and premiered in 2006.
