I can't believe how funny this is - watched it for the multiplthe time recently, and was almost constantly laughing (the female Australian star is in stitches, throughout). Barry, you are the funniest man, ever!
Im an Aussie living in LA Just watched cricket highlights and not to proud. My mrs. (A yank) sensed I wasnt to happy When I went to bed she cheered me up by using the same perfume as Joan Collins. Ya With Me. Thank You SIR LES. MY HERO. Well its quarter to 7
It doesn't get any better than this! The genious comedian - Barry Humphries - wow, wow, wow!! AND with a talk-show-host - that is SO "IN" - and WITH - without trying to take command all the time. Michael Parkinson is the best host of them all! I am a norwegian, reaching my 60th, and just love this program. Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!
Agreed. As an American, I find Parkinson to be spectacular. He was as great as Johnny Carson to me as an interviewer. The same understanding on how to interview a guest even though different personalities. I'm glad Parkinson stayed on TV. When Carson finished in my country, it was over.
As an American, I did not discover this part of Barry Humphries until the blessing of Covid 19...eat my shit if that comment offends you. I always liked Dame Edna, but in the US, we had no access to this other character, because we suck because of our political correctness. Sir Les should have been a giant over here in the 90's. Thank you Australian an England for the Bibliophile, comedic genius.
Very funny. Sir Les looks like The Master Technician who appeared in an episode of the 1967 -70 animated SPIDERMAN series. [SWING CITY is the name of the episode]
I think the Australian television broadcasters were a little afraid of Sir Les's ... fondling of his lmembrum virile” shall we say? There’s a lot of laughter from the audience but the cameras are firmly on people’s faces!
Touching her leg? I'm amazed that this is what you find prudish...The fact that he's wearing a fake erection seems to have escaped everyones attention... Comedy gold. Affront.. Sadly missed.
His last talk show here in the UK was in 2007 on ITV. I remember he said he went to Australia in 1982 do see how they did breakfast television, as he was going to be one of the presenters on TV AM, one of our first breakfast shows starting in February 1983. He must have been well liked to have been given a talk show.
@@craigmurray5919 I reckon it must be 1981 as Parky asks if Sir Les has been invited to the wedding which presumably was Charles /Diana, 29th July.Thanks for uploading this, there is no question , Barry is a comedy genious !.

Thank you for archiving this, it is genius. Iv'e watched it several times and told people about it. Miss this guy.
RIP SIR LES PATTERSON.
RIP BARRY HUMPHRIES. A TRULY GREAT COMEDIAN.
This is probably the funniest interview I’ve ever seen 🤣🤣🤣
RIP Parky. Saturday night TV with my Dad, trying to keep my eyes open for MOTD and invariably failing miserably!
Bloody love Sir Les, for me this is one of his best performances, Parky ,Jackie and Baz, perfect mix. Awesome
It takes a rare talent to make everybody around you laugh all the time.
Never seen a funnier interview - absolute masterpiece - I've watched it times! Genius.
Parky's face says it all as Sir Les comes on. Sheer delight.

R.I.P. Barry Humphries.

I found him later in life and now I can't stop watching the man 💯
"Some people go overseas for their roots..."
Classic!
One of the top 10 funny men of all time, are you with me
Probably three of the top 10 funniest men, and possibly the funniest woman of all time too.
Absolutely. He's right up there. Are you with me.

Absolute comic genius 🤣
Genius! Barry is something else 😂
R.I.P Sir Les
The man was a genius
Poor Parky he looks terrified at Sir Les!! :-)
Dougal McRae Parky has had a few scary moments with antipodeans. That man with his arm stuck up a megapode's bum for a start.
when he drools i die 😂😂
Dr Sir Leslie Colin Patterson is my hero
0:55 when Jackie spots the interloper! haha
Jacki Weaver is gorgeous when she giggles. :)
Les Patterson could Make Australia Great Again
Indistinguishable from his American counterpart, then.
Well, Barry Jones probably would make a better show of it
now that's how you steal the show !!!!
legend
She is gorgeous and les is the best
Absolute genius

so funny he was totally excellent
The height of Aussie sophistication.....
Leave it baggy around the knees. Makes me laugh every time I hear itOnly les Patterson could get away with that
This was his best character. Shits all over Dame Edna
Parko is so underrated!
Jacki is full of class
Reminds me of my time in Oz great people more English than the English hope we can sign a trade deal with him post brexit
Comedy genius
How gorgeous is Jackie Weaver in this?
now she is really fat.
We ALL get older and fatter.
Speak for yourself, Bruce!
Not very
paul shmaul z😭😭😩
I could easily get pissed with Sir Les
Fabulous
6:58 How Barry Humphries kept a straight face during that bit I'll never know!
Every time I watch I laght my B.............ocks off am I alone ?
Just so funny
An ansolute australian treasure..
Pure Gold!
Genius!
'Baz' on the right is Barry Jones (AC FAA FAHA FASSA FACE FRSA) Minister for Science 11 March 1983 - 4 April 1990.
Very funny. Sir Les looks like The Master Technician who appeared in an episode of the 1967 -70 animated SPIDERMAN series. [SWING CITY is the name of the episode]
The model for all men to try to attain, a real man, I would LOVE to see and hear him speak at a SJW conference
Ya with me??
🤣🤣🤣
Boris Johnsons Australian Cousin
Genius....and so funny with it:-)
classic Aussie Larriken !
The Australian Juncker...
Was this edition filmed in Australia?
Yes.Parkinson had a series in Australia between 79 and 82.
I think the Australian television broadcasters were a little afraid of Sir Les's ... fondling of his lmembrum virile” shall we say? There’s a lot of laughter from the audience but the cameras are firmly on people’s faces!
Outstanding comedy
Just Dame Edna
At least he wasn't John Cleese.
rip les
Jesus that had me worried before I hit translate lol very good 👏
To touch a lady on the leg like that these days will lose you your career as well as get banged up in court.
But not when its acting done for the audience benefit. Not his.
@Mark Seymour You sound entirely out of touch with what's happening out there these days.
Mark Seymour l know, it’s worrying these days that apparently millions of people can no longer spell a four letter word.
Touching her leg? I'm amazed that this is what you find prudish...The fact that he's wearing a fake erection seems to have escaped everyones attention... Comedy gold. Affront.. Sadly missed.
He grabs her on the boob does he not? I mean it was either a set-up or Les and Jackie have a very good understanding
A global treasure
What happens at 6.54 ?. Looks like an edit
They had to change cameras now and again because of the large thing in his trousers.
Rita college and Kris K
What year was this from?
Not sure exactly. I know it was between 79 and and 83. Thats when Parkinson's Australian specials started and ended.
I didn't know Parkinson did shows in Australia. I knew the Two Ronnies did, and Dave Allen. Was he popular there I wonder?
He's very popular there. He has done alot of shows down under since the 80s. The last I think was in 2015.
His last talk show here in the UK was in 2007 on ITV. I remember he said he went to Australia in 1982 do see how they did breakfast television, as he was going to be one of the presenters on TV AM, one of our first breakfast shows starting in February 1983.

I thought it was Farage meeting Trump
Revolting!!!😏
That's what it's meant to be a light hearted take off of a politician
Daryl Kanofski they know that
The basest character and humour.
Yet, the greatest satirical political character ever created :-)
