He was a great interviewer never felt the need to push himself he he let the guest do their stuff.

I haven't watch any talk shows since sick of this, the interviewer is the star BS.

RIP

I spoke to him and his wife a fair few times. Often in the Co-op!
His late mum was our neighbour in Oxfordshire. She was a lovely lady and MP came across as a nice bloke.

RIP seemed more talented than the current book/film pluggers. A loss a lot of people will feel.

Such a shame. Seemed like one of the good guys. Not a bad innings though.

RIP

The best interviewer that I have ever seen by far.
My age means that I have seen pretty much every show on whichever channel he was on.
All of the greats through the ages - except Sinatra - sat opposite him.
What a man!

He was good at listening. I had never realised how rare that talent is.

For all his great interviews and charity work, particularly with cricket, will always be remembered for having his boIIOx grabbed by an emu.

I was so saddened to hear the news of his passing.
I recall with great affection his interviews with a plethora of well-known figures.
'Legend' is a term that is used a tad liberally, but Michael Parkinson certainly fitted that description. A real legend, a true professional and a wonderful human being.
God rest his soul in peace RIP.

He was an excellent interviewer who generally asked very few questions and then allowed his guests to speak or tell a yarn or tell a joke. His shows with Billy Connolly gave us some classic TV comedy - find them on YouTube. In comparison, today's so called chat shows are nearly always self promoting the guest's latest project.

He will be fondly remembered. RIP Parky.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
