rabuddies Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Monday morning chat in the office usually started with "did you watch Parky on Saturday night" and then the football. He was as good as you get and the best in my lifetime. RIP Edited August 17, 2023 by rabuddies Battery on wireless keyboard ran out.

A major part in Connollys career. A genuine admiration of each other, something Parkinson seemed to have with many of his guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 RIP to a great host. His real secrets were the fact he never forgot his roots and, more importantly made any interview about the interviewee, not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
