RIP Nicolas. Loved Sale of the Century, back in the day.

I remember him as Arthur Haynes straight man on B/W television!

Every time I saw or heard Nicholas I thought of Arthur Haynes.

The Two Ronnies at their desks at the end of one of their shows

Corbett " and on next week's show we'll be talking to a lady who likes Nicolas Parsons "

Barker " and we'll be talking to a parson that likes knickerless ladies "

That punch line always stuck with me whenever I saw Nivolas Parsons on the telly

Scandal he wasn't knighted when you consider some of the utter cunts that have, this man was top class and will be sorely missed. Just a minute was the funniest thing on the radio..... RIP....NP..

I remember him as Arthur Haynes straight man on B/W television!

Me too, I only found out reading the obituary that Haynes ditched him as he thought Parsons was getting too much attention.

RIP
