Description
All Michael Parkinson really wanted to do was play cricket for Yorkshire and England. However, he soon realised that being paid to watch films, football, and cricket would be the best way to spend life, leading him to become a journalist.
Television beckoned, and for three decades, Parkinson interviewed the movers and shakers of the late twentieth century, making his television programme the must-see event of the week. In singing with Bing Crosby, dancing with Billy Connolly, flirting with Miss Piggy, and sparring with Muhammad Ali, Parkinson proved himself one of the most engaging and durable hosts in both Britain and Australia.
In Parky: My Autobiography, he recalls a full life with honesty, insight, and humour.
