Very sad to hear to hear of his passing, enjoyed his interviews\ show very much......RIP Micheal Parkinson

One of the broadcasting giants, and a real legend of British television.

His interviews were intelligent and interesting, unlike those nowadays, which are all about the interviewee trying to flog their new book or album.

He also had a great show on Radio Two for several years. I loved it and it gave me an introduction to jazz and some of the best musicians of the genre.

R. I. P. Sir Michael. You will be greatly missed.

Played in the same cricket team as Boycott and Dickie Bird and his interviews with Billy Connolly will not be forgotten.

RIP

Lovely Jade - the people's princess, queen of hearts. Parky is with her now and they will be enjoying the free pen and sunlife over 50s plan payout together in heaven.

RIP Sir Michael.
Can’t believe it, I was only watching this after the City game last night.

 

[Bill Walker]

My favourite interviewer along with Dick Cavett.
Parky was very good. Probably the best there was. He's very popular here in Australia due to him doing shows here, I think he loved Australia.
RIP Parky.

Dickie Bird giving his tribute on Talksport.
He was very emotional

Great interviewer.

 

[Bill Walker]

FOC!

Definitely

 

[dickie davies]

He was great in his early years when he would ask some real in depth questions and he managed to get the celebrities to open up. Later though, he became very powder puff and wouldn't ask
RIP Parky

Please alter thread title - he was a Knight of the Realm - SIR Michael Parkinson

No need for that, it's a bit harsh, it's one of my pet hates.

The poster is simply paying tribute to a legend, no matter his title. He set the standard for all chat show hosts.

Besides he is technically correct; when a Knight or Dame dies for example, the title expires.

RIP big man.

Do pubs go to heaven?LMFAO

I bloody hope so, don't fancy an eternity without a pint

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Liked him till he said something really nasty about jade goody whilst she wasnt even cold or buried , no need at all

That logic will leat to hating pretty much everybody in the world.

Nobody is going to have exactly the same opinions on everything as you. It’s impossible.

Any journlist/public figure says something you don’t like? Hated forever and anything further they say is disregarded.

Crazy.

I recognise the irony of my post as you already “hate” me and no doubt will disregard the post as a result.

Saturday night show seemed to be on forever. Feels like another part of my childhood has gone with him. Hope he avoids Rod Hull wherever he has gone. A gentleman, RIP sir.
