RIP.
He was a nice guy and the best interviewer for famous people (I always preferred Harty's show for the ordinary folk he got on though).

Now we're left with Graham Norton, Big Narstie, The Third Leg etc style shit . Used to be a time you'd learn something about the interviewee - apart from what they're flogging.
RIP the last of the true interviewers.

That's so sad.
I remember watching Parky as a kid. Not many shows that three generations of one family can all look forward to watching, literally from the age of 8 to 80.
The kind of presenter that while mainstream didn't treat his audience like they were total morons with the attention span of a goldfish.
Was a really lovely bloke in real life too by all accounts.

Harsh on Norton. He gets all sorts of stories out of his guests, a skill no doubt gleaned from earlier greats like Wogan and Parky.Now we're left with Graham Norton, Big Narstie, The Third Leg etc style shit .
