RIP Michael Parkinson

Obviously filmed way before my time but I always like to go back and watch his interview with Muhammad Ali

RIP imagine what the BBC could be like today if they had a Saturday Night Interview/show, of the same peerless quality.
 
I never really appreciated how good he was when I was younger, but as I got older and saw more of his shows, especially the classic ones the more I appreciated him, especially with the likes of the themed ones that the BBC have been putting on BBC4 to run the same night as films or shows that he had a guest from.

I don't think I've seen any other chat show host in the UK who had quite the same quality as him, as he didn't need to rely on a gimmick to get a good interview.

The BBC of today wouldn't even be hiring the likes of Parkinson today, doesn't tick any woke boxes.
