Nicholas Parsons on 11:24 - Jan 28 with 1193 viewsjackharris A knock of 96, excellent innings Mr Parsons RIP... Very proud to be voted Planet Swans Poster of the Year 2017 by my fellow posters. Especially on a site that nearly had 20 million impressions last year. Poll: What is your favourite Knock?
Nicholas Parsons on 11:27 - Jan 28 with 1184 viewsBrynCartwright Yes, very sad news indeed. Apparently he was a true gent and, according to Gyles Brandreth, one of the nicest guys in show business. Used to love Sale of the Century as a kid. It looked really exotic, coming all the way from glamorous Norwich!

Wasn’t it “and now, live from Norwich, it’s sale of the century “? Each time I go to Bedd - au........................
Nicholas Parsons on 11:46 - Jan 28 with 1153 viewsunion_jack Good broadcaster, true professional. Thought he’d ‘score a ton’ to be honest. Couldn’t stand Just A Minute though. Well past it’s sell by date imo.

Nicholas Parsons on 14:26 - Jan 28 with 1022 viewstheloneranger As already mentioned a great innings of 96. I remember him well in the Arthur Haynes and Benny Hill shows on tv, but only found out today that he was the voice of Tex Tucker in Four Feather Falls ... A children's tv program from the early 1960's. Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎

Used to love it as a kid, he seemed a very tidy guy. I think the opening line was “and now, from Norwich it’s the quiz of the week”.

If I remember correctly it was, "and now, live from Norwich, it’s the quiz of the week." I never quite understood how the sale of the century was every week. RIP Nicholas, a true broadcasting great. [Post edited 28 Jan 2020 17:22]

Nicholas Parsons on 11:13 - Jan 30 with 634 viewsBDS Eighty five series of Just a Minute. Longest running compere of a show in radio history. That's an impressive career. Someone has archived the show and all but about a dozen are available.. Amazing how such a simple idea had such longevity.
