    I grew up like many others watching Nicholas Parsons on Sale of the Century. When I was a young aspiring journalist once upon a time in the late ‘80s, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to share afternoon tea with Nicholas Parsons in a posh London hotel. I was so starstruck 😂
    He was charming and believe it or not, he dropped a couple of f-bombs into our conversation.( quietly of course!) He was so funny and incredibly interesting to converse with, bless him. He was a lovely chap and a true gentleman who gave me a respectful peck on the cheek when I had finished interviewing him and he thanked me for my time. Rest in peace Nicholas and thank you x

    Myself and a friend owned a photography studio and we were lucky enough to take the photos that appeared on the front cover of his book. He was a very nice and professional gentleman.

    Only met Nicholas once . It was around 1986 so in his 60s. I was waterskiing at Paul Seatons ski centre at Thorpe park in Surrey. Nicholas was a decent skier and just as friendly as his tv persona . Preferred him in real life to his tv personality where I always thought he was about too slick. RIP Nicholas

    The gravestone you focus on at 9:56 is of a famous actress and the one time wife of Rex Harrison, Kay Kendall, who died of leukemia. She starred in the classic film Genevieve.

    Hi Paul. Another great respectful tribute to a much underrated actor. I remember him appearing in one of the Margaret Rutherford "Miss Marple" films where he played a doctor. He was a softly well spoken gentleman who never received the accolades he truly deserved. Much missed. Thanks Paul and thank you Nicolas Parsons ❤

    A fabulous tribute to one of the best presenters we've ever had. He began Just a Minute in 1967 and never missed an episode for 52 years. Thanks to its amazing longevity, he became the face and voice of radio 📻 comedy. He was fabulous on the Anglia TV quiz Sale of the Century. Although he's gone, he's never forgotten Thanks for the memories Mr Parsons ❤ 😊

    This upload puts me in mind of the Two Ronnie's Newscast:

    Ronnie Barker: "And I interview a Parson who likes knickerless ladies" 🤣🤣🤣.

    Thanks for this Paul , Nicholas was such a really lovely guy when I met him in July 1989 , Harlow Town Park when Then Jerico were playing , he introduced them , he was a really nice person …. Shame same can’t be said about the drunk yobs behind us TJ fans (we were at the very front ) who crushed us into the barrier and gave my mate concussion ! Ugh

    I'm really happy you have done a Doctor Who actor! Being a big fan of the classic era. My son, age 10, wrote to him in 2014 asking for an autograph for his primary school as he was collecting Doctor Who ones for his school, which are still up today. He sent back with autographs and a lovely note. A really nice man. Thank you for showing this. Hope you do some more Doctor Who Actors and Actresses.

    He's brilliant in Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, along with Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson and Peter Cook. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Plays it totally straight and bewildered at the lunacy going on around him which makes it even funnier.

      @louby9855 8 месяцев назад

    One of my hobbies for some years have been to write to celebrities requesting their autographs. Many of whom now sadly feature on this channel. I wrote to Nicholas some years ago and he sent me a signed photo and a note telling me about some of his career. He seemed like a very friendly man.
