The greatest celebrity interviewer ever. Thorough research and able to bring out the natural spontaneity in his guests, mainly by focusing on them (without his own ego intruding).
My Grandfather worked in London during WW1before he was called up in 1918. I recall him telling me about seeing the Zeppelin raids on London and everyone being fascinated by them.
This is from the ITV era of the Parkinson show, and it is interesting to see interviews from this era of the show, which was a short era, 2004 to 2007.
Yeah it's a shame Parkinson left for commercial TV, it naturally cut the run time of the show cos of bloody commercials so chats had to be sped up alot and thus were over quicker.
@@pow1983 It was an ego thing, the BBC wanted to change his timeslot and he didn't think he was being prioritised enough, something about being on after match of the day I think since he was on Saturdays.
@@Jeremy-f3s It was stupid, as when he returned to the BBC in 1998 for a reboot of his show, they didn't place him on Saturday nights, but had him on Friday nights, and he didn't moan then. He moved back to Saturday nights in 2001.
Clarkson is an intelligent and naturally funny guy. I reckon his Top Gear personality (and newspaper writer) is a non-typical character, a confection for ratings.
Parkinson was definitely related to me. He and his parents used to visit my maternal grandmother's house for holidays, long before Parky became famous. They were something like half cousins; I forget the exact relationship. She was born in a mining village within walking distance of Doncaster. I met the family several times. Embarrassed to say that Clarkson is another distant relative. So they were more than half serious in that conversation.
The Hurricanes took on the Bombers, the Spitfires took on the ME 109s, the hurricane wasn't up to the job. Also the Hurricane wasn't in the same league when it came to being upgraded, eventually there being 19 marks of Spitfire.
You'd be right to say it played as big a role, because there were so many more of them, at least during the critical period when we were fighting for our lives. But it was a German ace who imortalized the Spitfire, by telling his boss that was what they needed to win the war!
I think I knew some of his extended family & it was huge like he says. They were all tall, had the same kinda facial shape & curly hair; I won't mention the personalities 😅. They mostly stayed around Yorkshire & Lancashire but by strange coincidence one of them actually moved down to the Cotswolds & worked on a farm there pretty much until retirement.... There's so many stories to tell that are things you could imagine Jeremy doing too.
1:05 well listen or read Mike Bannisters book and you'll soon realise that the accident happened because Air France went against many standard operating procedure and the spacer that was missing in the undercarriage was a major factor in the cause of the crash
So true. Nothing wrong with concorde. Ba parked 5 perfectly airworthy aircraft in 2003 never to fly again. Airfrance killed concorde firstly by causing the crash and secondly by deciding to finish commercial service. BA then couldn't afford to go it alone as airbus costs annually were suddenly doubled without airframe contributing. Shame
2004, October I think. Seen him in a Chinese restaurant in Chipping Norton that Saturday evening and when I walked back to my hotel he was on Parkinson.
This here is proper Jeremy Clarkson!!! Not that decrepit elderly pensioner on Amazons farm (or whatever bullshit it’s called) This right here is Jezza in his prime
Have to disagree about his Aga comments. Only ever cook on my Aga. Immediate even heat. Hate using a hob or oven. You just need to keep it up to temperature. No ‘Just turn up the dial and instant heat’. Plan ahead 😂

Loved Parky, love Jezza. Never seen this before, love it.
Mr Clarkson, a very interesting man and a great narrator.
Bloody useless cook, shame on him.
Lord Jezza.
You will be pleased to know that Google asked me whether I would like to see the translation of your post! 🤣🤣🤣
Two of my favourite men ever, fantastic!

From an era when tv was worth watching Parkinson was the best talk show
I'd forgotten he'd changed over from BBC

Parky was the best Gaylord, "He knits" Give Jeremy the rains let him go 😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤

He was on form here!
I think the Hurricane was far more successful than the Spitfire, it just got all the publicity.
The Hurricanes took on the Bombers, the Spitfires took on the ME 109s, the hurricane wasn't up to the job.

Air or recording date in the description would be handy.

So there was also maintenance fault,too with the other brand plane's leaving a part on the runway.Yet still no flaw in the Concorde!
Clarkson is out spoken and a bit of chimp!! But hell I Love his hummer 😊😊👍👍❤
A great broadcaster. Watch is documentary on here about the history of the VC with a twist at the end.
The Rolls Royce Merlin won us the war.
I must have missed this
Gaylord Clarkson 😂
The hurricane did more than the spitfire due to numbers
Very amusing ,-
Why is there a fault with Concorde? It's another brand of plane that a part fell off, onto the runway,and the airport left it there!
the flaw was the strange fuel tank configuration, which caused the plane to crash, after it got damaged.
Yeah, mind you the immediately prior DC 10 that had bits fall off played a big part.
he could just survive quite well as a standup comedian...

If there was a soul, there wouldn’t be Alzheimer's.
The great tragedy of Alzheimer's is that the spirit is still in there, but cannot express itself!
No way Clarkson would get away with that joke about Germans dying today!
Interesting though Michael has been dead for over a year. Who is getting the advertising revenue?
Nothing mysterious about his family tree because they just won’t admit being related to him.
Claude?😅😅😅
