Sadly the legendary Parky has left us. Required viewing back in the day.

Never been a TV person myself but just saw the 6 o'clock news - amazing the people he had on his shows. Even Fred Astaire and James Cagney.WA Hoop wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 9:35 amSadly the legendary Parky has left us. Required viewing back in the day.

Just watched 50 years of Parkinson. He was quite something wasn't he ?

Re: Sir Michael Parkinson RIP
The epitome of a consummate professional broadcaster. Parky always researched his guests thoroughly and unlike today's 'chat shows' the guests weren't there to answer banal pre-agreed questions and for promotion purposes.
I believe he also once played a decent standard of cricket alongside Geoff Boycott & Dickie Bird at Barnsley Cricket Club.
Question everything.
