Re: RIP Nicholas Parsons
He was still the host on "Just a Minute" on R4 until fairly recently.
RIP.

A programme which he chaired for 52 years(!) and never missed a programme till recently. It required a laser sharp memory, even without taking his age into consideration. Amazing bloke. RIP.

Re: RIP Nicholas Parsons
Sad to see him go.
The difference between his introductions for the place and panellists and that in "I'm sorry I haven't a clue".
And the way he kept the gentle control in Just a Minute.

Very sad... When I saw the title of this thread I thought of the movie DOUBLE JEOPARDY when there is a "Nicholas Parsons" -- I wonder if they were thinking of this nick when they decided to use his name in the movie??
Very sad this Mr Parsons passed away though
