Holness got the job shortly after arriving in Britain from South Africa. His background was in theatre and radio, although he was a complete novice to television. However, that was hardly a problem, because, as he once revealed in an interview, they wanted a host who hadn't been seen on TV before in any case.

:'' My father (the late Glyn Williams) was one of only a couple of contestants on Take a Letter to win the maximum £1000 approximately 50 years ago.  He found Bob Holness (then Robert) to be a true gentleman and he enjoyed his time on the show immensely.''
