Was fortunate enough to see him live, and he was absolutely superb; always about his guests, never about him. A great loss to the world of TV interviewing.

And, iirc, he was the first to unleash a young Billy Connolly on an unsuspecting mainstream TV audience, for which I’m eternally grateful.

RIP Parky, and thanks for some fantastic memories.

 

Now that is sad. I still laugh when I think of the Rod Hull and Emu interview!

 

Never eard’ of him…

 

The BBC are showing “Parkinson at 50” at 9pm on BBC1 tonight in tribute. Andy

 

Good man Parky, RIP to the best chat show host ever, ..he had a great rapport with Muhammad Ali, enjoyed every one of those, nothing to replace him these days..

 

RIP Gary Vines

All too regular. Sad news.

 

Sixto Rodriguez



there's a similar figure, still alive, generally thought to be "cool"
the man above invented the word.
What an incredibly modest man.

Wow !
..... that sent me back in time

A tragically under-rated musician ..... almost ignored even ?
His talent deserved far more success and recognition .

I'll have to go into the loft now ....
..... because I'm certain that I have " Cold Fact " on vinyl .
