About this listen

 From prize-winning journalist to chat show king on a show voted one of the top ten British TV programmes of all time, Michael Parkinson's starry career spans over four decades.
Now an international celebrity himself, the man from a humble but colourful Yorkshire mining family who can tease out the secrets of even the most reticent star guest, at last reveals his own story, with the easy manner and insight that has kept his audiences fascinated.
His distinguished career has involved working on highly acclaimed current affairs and film programmes. His wide interests and expertise include jazz, film, football and cricket.
Witty, humorous and blessed with exceptional intellectual clarity, Michael Parkinson's memoir is a joy to hear.

I remember being allowed to stay up to watch Parkinson and seeing him talk to film stars as real people. Parkinson just continued as a beloved institution through so many years. Always entertaining, so clever at drawing people out. I loved hearing about his path to that position and beyond. Especially as I got to spend time with him all over again. A lovely rich voice to laugh along with. Very special. Thank you Audible.

A constant from my childhood and beyond. Wonderful listen.

Fantastic listen. Parky was a cornerstone of growing up and Saturday night TV. Brought back a lot of memories.

Fantastic - well worth a listen

Michael had a treacle like voice and I really wanted to hear him keep on talking. A presenter which doesn’t really exist anymore and one who put the guest completely centre stage. It was always about the guest and never about him as the presenter. He is much missed

A genuinely excellent presenter
