Mills was born in Chester and attended Chester City Grammar School.
He graduated to his own stand-up comedy show on Independent Television, In Bed With MeDinner, well known for its introduction, a remake of the opening credits of The Prisoner with Mills in the place of Patrick McGoohan.
After a very short spell of training for the Merchant Navy, he quit and worked as a valet in King"s Cross, London and as a Hoffman dry cleaning presser operator, driver and delivery manitoba After seeing Kevin Day and Eddie Zibbin (Pat Condell) at the Market Tavern in Islington in 1983, he decided to become a comedian and has been a mainstay of the British "stand-up" circuit ever since. In 1983 Mills played a villain as Lon"s Bodyguard in Doctor Who opposite Peter Davison as The Doctor and Martin Clunes as Lon.
He is also a writer, having written the Michael Barrymore comedy Bob Martin.
He created and wrote the Robson Green vehicle Christmas Lights, and the spin-off series Northern Lights. He also wrote the screenplay for the film Pierrepoint.
Bob Mills presented his own weekday programme in the 1990s on Greater London Radio from 10pm to 1am, where he would impress with his wit and dexterity. This was during the period when other comedians also had their own programmes on GLR such as Mark Lamarr and Phill Jupitus.
Bob"s feature of "Veneer of the Week" was inspired by his driving along the North Circular Road and seeing the sign on Shadbolts, the veneer sellers, advertising their latest offering.
He thought that this had to be brought to public attention. He indulged himself in the last ten minutes of his show by playing music by Elvis Presley. On 7 October 2011 Mills made his debut on British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 4"s The News Quiz.
He has subsequently returned for further appearances.
