Michael Parkinson

[mikey4444]

I have just heard him interviewed on the Today Program, regarding his new book on Ali.

But I noticed that his speech was slurred.....does anyone know if he has had a stroke, or something similar ?

Olly Reid ... possibly the best telly ever.

Ah that was Aspel ... still fantastic though.

"Would a beautiful human being treat another human being the way Ali did Joe Frazier?"

How did he treat Joe Frazier?

Mikey I cannot find this interview online after doing a "Today program Michael Parkinson" search on google and on youtube.

Oliver Reed was probably the greatest star that Britain had in the post-war years. But his talent was hugely wasted. To die so young and with such great potential left to be used, was a terrible tragedy.

Here is here on Parkinson, not perhaps in the edition that everybody remembers. Here he shows what immense charm and talent he possessed ::

Sadly, Mr Reed became a caricature, and as you point out Mikey, his charm and talent were forgotten because of his later bad behaviour.

Some funny and interesting "Facts" if they're true about Oliver Reed.

Very sad Andy. He was also very good-looking......no wonder women sued to swoon at his feet, and men were said to be jealous !

Here he is on Aspel :::::

Thanks Lunol....I enjoyed those wonder stories....all 100% true, I am sure !

[agchristie]

I never thought MP had particularly clear diction anyway.

I've just listened to the interview, didn't sound too slurred to me given that radio mikes do give a different sound often - maybe ill fitting teeth?

[mikey4444]

Mamy....could be the teeth....lets hope so !

Talbot, secondary to this thread but Boxing is the only 'Sport' where the intention is to cause your opponent brain damage.( Knock them out) .

It isn't.

[Lunol]

That's untrue Eddie51. Check out MMA fighting.

@Talbot. These sports are consenting adults who are paid or want to be paid in large sums eventually as well as media fame and not like the forced fighting for survival to the death in Roman/Ancient Greek times.

[Lunol]

They all sign legal waivers as well I believe.

Yes mikey as many have shown on this site "We should beleive anything and everything we see and hear on the inter at anytime because it's on the internet it just has to be true" Lol.

This is why it's good to research, cross reference those "Facts" researched and post once satisfied that it's true unlike the reporters and columnists who purposefully send out disinformation to spark outrage and mass hysteria just as clickbait and to spread their disinformation like a virus via posters who lap it up and like robots rise to the misguided outrage and mass hysteria and then repost the disinformation in an uncontrolable frothy mouthed rage.
