- Could have been so much more interesting
Even as a non-Englishman (I'm Dutch) I was well-acquainted with the talk show Parkinson.

Above all, there was a very distressing event which he, graphically, describes as having had ... Read More

- sweetly timed shot to the boundary - excellent
To Parky I say, thanks for this timely autobiography, and many 'thanks for the memories' from the last 30 years. I enjoyed the book very much. It came across as very honest and entertaining.
