Measures approx. 9¾ x 7¾ inches or 25 x 19cmsSYNOPSIS ….Michael Parkinson occupies a unique place in the public consciousness. Through his perceptive onscreen interviews over the past five decades, he has introduced millions of people to the personalities of major international figures in sport, showbiz, politics, the arts and journalism. In Parky’s People, Parkinson sets down on record the highlights of his interviews which provide an intimate insight into the private lives and personal characters of great celebrities from around the world, from Tony Blair and Henry Kissinger, John Betjeman and WH Auden, to Ken Dodd and Elton John. Now an international celebrity himself, the man from a humble but colourful Yorkshire mining family has teased the secerets out of even the most reticent star guests, such as Fred Astaire and Ingrid Bergman, and he has drawn fascinating new information and insights from even the most frequently interviewed subjects like Peter Ustinov, David Niven and Stephen Fry. Remarkable interviews with Edith Evans and Ben Travers demonstrate that Parkinson’s empathy with the old is as evident as his easy familiarity with sportsmen like George Best, Muhammad Ali and David Beckham. Great comics such as: Billy Connolly, Bob Hope, and Morecambe and Wise prove as funny on the page as on screen and it seems that the star of every Hollywood legend shines brightly under Parkinson’s subtle questioning. With a little help from his friends, Parky’s People is witty, always perceptive, often wise, and never less than compulsive reading. About the AuthorSir Michael Parkinson, CBE (born 28 March 1935) is an English broadcaster, journalist and author. He presented his chat show, Parkinson, from 1971 to 1982 and from 1998 to 2007. He has been described by The Guardian as “the great British talkshow host”.Born in Yorkshire, Michael Parkinson left school at sixteen with the ambition to play cricket for Yorkshire and England and to write about cricket for the Manchester Guardian. Although, he didn’t manage to fulfil the first half of his ambition, he has since become one of the most successful journalists of his generation. He wrote a sports column for The Sunday Times for fifteen years and has also written for the Telegraph. He is also a legendary TV and radio presenter – his long-running chat show Parkinson was hugely popular for many years.Very Entertaining and Interesting read!ReviewsTerrific! … This book has around 50 people that ‘Parky’ has interviewed. Each person has their own chapter. I found it very very enjoyable. I like reading interviews, you feel like you know the person so much more by the end of it. There are some really really good interviews in this book and some average ones. I read them all, over a period of a few months, but more importantly i read interviews with people I have never heard of and it led me to more interesting books. Thank you Parky, you are a living legend!!!FIVE STARS!! … Michael Parkinson was required viewing on a Saturday night, usually after Match of the Day if my memeory serves me right. Although I have read most of the interviews before, I just had to get this book on Kindle. Its a who’s who of the stars and personalities he had on his show, and a book that I would highly recommended.Excellent … Very interesting book good read enough information without being boring good way of reading about each guest overall would recommend for light reading can just go and pick which guest you wish to read about.PARKY!! … Very well written and interesting read of a ordinary bloke done good.OUTSTANDING!! .. Was great…humorous, enjoyable, he’s a great interviewer, and person. Absolutely enjoyed it!Can dip in and out of this great read!! … To be honest I didn’t read every interview here, just dipped in and out of it, but I think it really is the kind of book you can do that with. Light and enjoyable. It is entertaining and well written …. The very varied range of people that he interviewed over so many years was really interesting.Marvellous Reading!
