Last Cunt Standing Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Ah, sometimes you hear news that makes you wistful and nostalgic for simpler times. I’ll risk acrimony by saying he wasn’t a fantastically insightful interviewer, but back in the day when Hollywood A-Listers would fly over and talk without something to flog, he made them feel comfortable. His warmth came through the screen, too. Who didn’t get in from a Saturday night out and sigh contentedly when those familiar bars struck up? I’ll be instantly disbelieved of course, but I bumped into him once in the bar of The Midland Hotel in Manchester, and he was, at least on that occasion, every bit the genial Yorkshireman we thought we all knew. A glass 🥃 for Parky tonight I think. Chapeau, fella. Jonathan Ross can fucking do one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always came across as a newspaper sports journalist who’d been asked to stand in for Terry Wogan at the last minute. If I had a favourite moment, it would be the laborious and never ending interview with a heavily drunk Peter Cook. Parkinson introduced his next guest, Bernard Manning, who fired off a couple of one liners on the way out, had the audience still rolling in the aisles as he walked up to the sofa, shook Parky’s hand. Then smiled at Peter Cook and said: “Hello Peter, you were very funny tonight.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning was a funny cunt but Cook was an utter legend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali was totally drawn in and the studio was dead silent when Freddy Starr leapt forward and he nearly tilted the chair over. Freddy’s ‘rice/maggots trick always sticks in my mind. Along with Hitler in white boxer shorts and wellies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Parky, he was just an opinionated Yorkshire cunt who thought he was bigger than his guests as well as the BBC, threatening to leave for ITV (and, TBF, following through) because his massive ego couldn't handle being moved from the primetime spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, you’re right. Those fucking Sun-Life guaranteed over 50 adverts were way more annoying than the ones with the old pervert and his neighbour, June. Fuck Parky and his ‘free Parker pen just for enquiring’. The cunt wouldn’t have progressed past regional telly if Simon Dee hadn’t been thrown under the bus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 51 years old and therefore don’t remember Simon Dee being on the telly. I only know of him because I read a lot because I’m clever… chicken/egg fuck off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it he was no Johnny Carson or Jay Leno. Just another skin flint BBC Wogan (charge 5K expenses for doing Children in Need) from Yorkshire God's Own County of Cunts. Who knew him outside Britain? As for guests and list of questions do you think he did all that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nocti Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Dribbling Yorkshire morgue-cheater that he was, he did occasionally get some great guests on and wasn't afraid to ask them some rather probing questions, when other sparkly-toothed winking wankers were simply asking them what their next film/gig was. That being said, he'd had his fun already, and it's about time he died to be honest. Although I expect that in this modern age of screechy bed-wetting spasticity, the one thing he'll mostly be remembered for is pointing out that the majority of people were watching Helen Mirren's films because of her tits. Which they fucking were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Billy Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I’ve had Parkinson’s three times and shook it off within a week every time, so I don’t believe he’s really dead, unless he was some sort of fucking cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decimus Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I wasn't around during his original run but I can remember his "comeback." Everyone over the age of 30 was getting excited and talking about it for weeks in advance, almost as if it was the second coming of Christ. I watched one episode and came to the realisation perhaps earlier than most that nostalgia is a cunts game and nothing will ever be as good the second time around. Except the Holocaust. The Thundercats reboot was shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
