I’ve seen clips of 2000 Today and it was indeed an epic programme. Most amusing in retrospect was panic about the millennium bug.
Being interested in TV in general, I am also aware of Parkinson’s chat show and have seen clips of that. He seemed to understand that the secret to a good chat show was to let the guests have the limelight.
In more recent years, I did see him on ITV 3 a lot with his free Parker pen and knew who he was - I used to enjoy watching old episodes of Poirot pretty regularly - so I probably will end up remembering him for that too, but that’s no bad thing. He managed to make doing even basic adverts seem quite respectable!
As has been said, I’m sure he’s enjoying his free Parker pen now.
