Good innings though.

96 and out. Holed one to deep square leg looking for a big 6.

Don’t think my mums partner has quite got the hang of autocorrect texting.
Just got a text telling me Nicholas Parsnips has died.

Oh no, such a shame. I'll really miss him on Just a Minute. I hope they don't continue it with a new host.
Wow, very sad.
He was an old guy for years. While I was bedridden a few years back and could only listen to the radio, Just A Minute was always a funny programme to listen to. It didn't matter who was on the show he always managed to keep control in his unique and funny way.

I can remember him from a kids tv show I used to watch called Kappatoo. RIP.
They didn't with ISIHAC when Humph died, so I suspect they won't with JaM. Just need to find the right host.
Maybe a series with guest hosts? Could be a way to tame Giles Brandreth?

I hope if I make it to 96, I still have my marbles like he did
I used to think Sale of the Century (from Norwich!) was the best quiz show ever when I was a young kid, but luckily moved on quickly to appreciating Just a Minute - he owned that programme
I remember hearing Desert Island Discs years ago, and he trained as a Marine Engineer or similar

I watched a prog with him recently where he went back to his old house, what a lovely man.

Didn't they have a run somewhat recently without Nicholas or am I just making that up? It won't be the same but I feel not continuing with JaM would be a mistake and an insult to what NP helped make it.

Just a minute will never be the same.
RIP, it was on the cards for a long time.
