[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 343132, member: 23"] On the subject of Parky, it seems Kenneth's view of him was typically mercurial: [FONT=courier new]Friday, 10 December 1971 Laurena Dewar rang. Would I go on Thames Television and chat to Michael Parkinson? I said certainly not. North Country nit. Tuesday, 19 February 1974 Got to Manchester and we did the two shows which were OK... The first celebrity was Parkinson (I got him) whom I loathe and after him was Jack Warner whom I love. Saturday, 27 August 1974 In the evening I saw John Wayne in a submarine film which was v. good. He has the capacity for bigness in acting - bigness in every sense: physical and mental. I think this is inseparable from the man himself & it was confirmed when I saw him in real life conversing with Parkinson: it was gratifying to see his generous and amiable nature steadfastly refusing to be provoked by the needling small-mindedness of the interviewer. Monday, 30 March 1987 I did 'Desert Island Discs' with Michael Parkinson. I told him truthfully 'What a difference doing it with you! That awful Plumb Leigh [Roy Plomley] was dreadful, so oleaginous!' I get on fine with M.P. 'cos he's direct and honest & lets you become uninhibited.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
