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 Edited by Badger11 (17 Aug 2023 10.44am)

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

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. |
