He could be very funny on his day. I'm a great fan.

[emmie]

loved him from the time he was on the Michael Parkinson show,

Apart from his performance in Mrs Brown with Judy Dench, which I thought excellent, I never liked him. A loud, coarse man who depended upon bad language for his laughs.

A career launched on Parkinson comes to a close with Parkinson's.

[emmie]

[Sqad]

Not my cup of tea at all.

[emmie]

his travel shows were always excellent, riding his motorbike through spectacular places, and meeting some very funny and interesting people

[emmie]

it was something that shouldn't have been said admittedly,

[emmie]

[SparklyKid]

Could never stand him and his wife couldn't apparently.

[emmie]

[SparklyKid]

Hi emmie, they lived apart, I think.
