[News] Nicholas Parsons RIP

[Titanic]

Thank you for "and now, from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week" Sale of the Century and "as the Minute Waltz fades away" Just a Minute... both sources of great joy at different times in my life.

 

[whitelion]

Just heard that on the news.

RIP

I'm not enjoying Jan at the moment.
RIP.

 

[Wozza]

He and his wife were regular visitors to the Cooden Beach Hotel in Bexhill where I worked as a teenager. Lovely guy - and a good tipper too. RIP.

 

[Machiavelli]

What a treat Nicholas Parsons has been. It seemed as though he'd go on forever but a poignant reminder that we're all mortal. Thank you Nicholas.

Take out Nicholas Parsons

Legend

 

[Dave the OAP]

Another person from my childhood has gone.

When you get as old as I am, this will inevitably happen but it doesn’t make it any better.

RIP Nicholas. You will be missed

Sale of Century, where a Mini Metro was considered a star price, but a great quiz show for its time.

Fond memories of Nicholas over the years.

RIP

 

[Is it PotG?]

No repetition. RIP Nick.

 

[dazzer6666]

I am shocked and saddened by this news as a regular listener to just a minute Nicolas Parsons wit and sharpness never diminished in fact I was starting to question his age as he seemed to completly defie the aging process dispite his 96 years, never rude always polite, l can honestly say without hesitation, deviation or repetition he will be missed RIP.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

One of the most unlikely things about the bloke was he did an apprenticeship in the shipyards on the Clyde.

Class act with a very long career

RIP

 

[Uh_huh_him]

That's sad.

Wouldn't say i was particularly fond of his work, but for much of my youth he had an almost anti-national treasure status, along with Des O'connor.
Seemed a decent sort and was happy to have the piss taken out of himself, which elevated him above most of his contemporaries.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Was brilliant on Just a minute.

Sharp as a pin.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

One of the saddest of the recent passings for me, (although of course any death is a sad event). I really thought the guy was going to go on for ever.

Still, 96, what an innings.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Peter Fenn will be playing that great organ in the sky to welcome him.
Sad news. R.I.P. Nicholas Parsons.

 

[The Clamp]

Just a minute was a favourite. Great innings, great career. 96. Gotta be happy with that.
