Extraordinary how intelligent yet at the same time entertaining they were... you'd not hear Kenneth Williams and Maggie Smith (or their current equivalents) reading a John Betjeman poem in front of him on Norton or Ross, would you?

I agree with you JK even though Parky is so full of himself he was very clever in what he asked. Norton or Ross would laugh or just pretend to listen to a poem, Ross made a complete twat of himself when he the late great Paul Newman, and told him 'You look gay on the sauce cover'. Ross just embarrassed himself and fucked up a chance of doing a great interview with a legend.

Glad to see Ross on a low rate channel and he contradicted himself when he did Film. He said the film was poor then interviewed the actors and told them it was fantastic well was it poor or fantastic it can't be both ?

Dame Edna was the best for interviews on TV.

Parky used to be good until he moved to ITV to top up his pension pot and allowed his shows to be hijacked by celebs to promote various agendas or new film.
