Such a lovely man... Parky.... We loved him.....Talented. Charming, Witty , outrageous flirt. ... ..interviewing was his game - his skill - Listening.... allowing the guest to tell their story ...captivating. The viewer... thats how he got the best guests... ... thanx Parky for so many years you gave us 💚
Michael Parkinson is a REAL 'national treasure' (those two words so often bandied about & which so rarely fit). I am an American and fell for his show and his style the first time I saw them. Wish we had people half as good on our own 'chat' shows. Stephen Colbert approaches, but is mainly a comedian. Anyway, you must miss him being a regular staple on the tube... Wish him a joyous retirement.
Mr Alan Whicker was such a reassuring presence in his interviews and always impeccably turned out. Oozed respectful. I never tire of listening to him and am so grateful that much remains of his work. His interview with the fellow who invented "Cats Eyes" the ubiquitous road safety aid is well worth catching. What a contrast to today's staccato interrogators. ❤️❤️👌💐
Alan Whicker was a true British gentleman and a great reporter. he created a fabulous series of documentaries that still stand today. It is not so well known that he took the world famous photo of Mussolini after he was killed, hanging from a lamp post. we will never see his like again.
Wicker loved people. People fascinated him. He was genuinely interested in the whys and the wherefors of what people did and stood for. Great man. His voice was very hypnotic and easy to listen to. Great voice.
Knew him as a child. .. friend of my mother's. He ... I think ... worked for Reuters then and sometimes did Royal tours and he always brought me back newspapers from the country being visited with news of the tour
I remember watching Alan as a child in the 70,s , I was so enthralled not only with his stellar stars being interviewed but with Alan , who was such a polished presenter.
Somewhere there must be a clip of Terry Wogan's first TV Chat Show when Whicher and Parkinson came on to tell him how to do it. Thank for this superb video.
Oh Jake, we love this story about meeting Michael Parkinson in Argos and him helping you carry your huge cache of hair dryers to your car. Was that quite recently? I am impressed that he was taking an air fryer home on the bus. 'Man of the people' was Parky.
I learnt from Alan Whicker He helped me a lot To be kind to people ... Parky was never like that he made his guests very uncomfortable, Ali, and other Meg Ryan too He was lucky man to be on TV,,,,, Alan Whicker the best,,,,,
Parky died the other day. Here in this video he was frail. His speech was slurred, even more so, than his normal Yorkshire brogue. (a broad gentle-sounding dialectal accent, 👉 🇬🇧 🇮🇪) His wife warned him about his heavy drinking, at the peak of his popularity. It probably extended his life by 20 years. RIP Mr. Parkinson. Cheers mate 🇬🇧
I met him in Argos once, he was picking up an air fryer and helped me carry my purchase (jumbo pack of hairdryers) to the car. He jested "Imagine if they got our orders mixed up- they sound similar but you wouldn't want to air fry your hair!" I laughed as I don't have any hair (I was picking them up for purposes I can't really get into due to an ongoing legal issue) and then he laughed and said "I might be able to fry my spuds with a hair dryer though!" Clearly he wouldn't be able to, he was just making polite conversation because he had time to kill before his bus arrived and I didn't want to offer him a lift because I had to move the passenger seat quite far forward to fit in all the hairdryers (they couldn't go in the boot because something else was in the boot which I also can't disclose due to the issues mentioned above)
@@MrDaiseymay My point is Alan Whicker class act. He had that je ne sais quoi the people he interviewed and a kind manner Parky was that chip on his shoulder and very argumentative Ali was an example. Let the guests talk not give your opinion. Whicker also had a partner who did the research. The salient point is I would have Whicker to interview my clients rather than Parky. Thank you sir
Parky never had a chip on his shoulder, we’re very proud that he was from Yorkshire & why shouldn’t he move away? Years ago he took a chance in his career & it worked. Good for him. RIP Michael.
Sorry I never got Parky and am mystified by the all the pangyrics. I found him fawning and obsequious and his middle of the road celebrity luvvie interviewees tedious. Not to mention the professional Yorkshireman act. Whicker on the other hand was penetrating and a genuine tv innovator

Whicker was brilliant but, in my view, so was Parky- For me has never been another TV interviewer better than him. He did some great shows
Whicker was a class act indeed.

Correct. and you can buy his ''Best Of'' interviews on DVD. Truly great stuff, but highlights the gulf between then--and now.
RIP Michael we loved watching your programs xx
Alan Whicker a truly a remarkable man.
Many thanks Alan
Parky will leave quite an outstanding TV heritage himself. Good to see he still has all his marbles.
Alan Whicker had a very pleasant, but authoritative voice. So important but inimitable.

Yes, totally agree David. Percy Shaw is one of my absolute favourites, especially when he starts interviewing Alan. 😄Thank you for this.

Alan Wicker was a great tv presenter and interviewer, i loved his wit, his intellect and his bravery, he is sadly missed , he was the best of the best
Many thanks Billy
Parkinson was a tad obsequious and vicarious - enjoyed the reflected glory; Whicker was audacious, charming, a hoot.
I remember watching Alan as a child in the 70,s , I was so enthralled not only with his stellar stars being interviewed but with Alan , who was such a polished presenter.
One interview sticks out the most, his talk with the richest man in the world John Paul Getty
Many thanks Kumar
I think the interviewer is brilliant. Really enjoyed this video.
That's interesting; Parkinson looked very old and tired for several years before this interview but he looks a lot better here. Such a wonderful chap.
Looks like it was filmed in the summer, the sun is very good for people with Parkinson's.
We all can’t live for ever , and we all get older .
How delightful. Thanks for posting it.

Saw him at Jersey airport years ago. He didn’t give me a second look!

RIP Parky too now x
I learnt from Alan Whicker He helped me a lot To be kind to people ... Parky was never like that he made his guests very uncomfortable, Ali, and other Meg Ryan too He was lucky man to be on TV,,,,, Alan Whicker the best,,,,,
The Tonight programme was stuffed full of consummate broadcasters who set one hell of a template to follow.
Marvelous.xx😊
Parky died the other day.

RIP Mr. Parkinson.

Parky has plenty of critics, but his TV shows in the 1970s and beyond enriched the cultural life of the nation, I would say.
Parky has really grown old!
That is because he is!
He's 87! He looks like a pretty good 87 year old to me. Most people that age are pushing up the daisies.
💙💙💙
Is there anyone who loves the sound of his own voice more than Sir Michael?
He’s being interviewed - it would be weird if he didn’t talk. We are not watching it to hear from the interviewer.
@@uszatku9417 You still haven't answered my question.
@@alexcampbell3032 ….perhaps, you?
@@uszatku9417 Yes, you are right. How did you become so intelligent?
@@uszatku9417 same thought exactly. So many non entities casting shade at entities
Sir Parkinson 👌
He still sounded pretty good
😢
Dot forget we al grow old
Wish you'd remember The Big Yin with respect too

You've been watching far too many Les Dawson re-runs. Funny though.
In fairness Michael looks like he's had a bottle of whiskey.
Alan whicker a class act,,, not like Parky who is a champagne socialist. Always going on about Yorkshire while living in Surrey and money
and your point is ?

Is he still giving away his funeral pens when you sign up

Don't he look like #SirPaulMcCartney
Wonderful interview. But I swear Parky is drunk.
God he aged
Everything that you wanted too be but wasn’t Michael I’m afraid to say
But then Michael could use grammar and spelling correctly, couldn't he.
He knew about Jimmy Savile
and what was he supposed to do about it? Seville’s bosses at the bbc knew about him, blame them.
Is that what you do ….watch a paedophile and say nothing ….well done @@toscana6457
