BBC radio host Nicholas Parsons has died.

Oh no... :(

He was a wonderful, talented, entertaining, charming, intelligent, fascinating figure.

Just a Minute won't be the same.

R.I.P. :(
 
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.

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
 
Wow he was pretty much relevant all the way through my life in one way or another.

One of the last of the old guard, these guys are irreplaceable.

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

RIP

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.
