My favourite comic strip resents episode by a long long way. Rik and Ade at their best, Peter Cook superb, Parsons was excellent.

Parsons had an excellent and long career - R.I.P.

Ah, balls.

I have spoken to Nicholas. Big fan of Mr Jolly (referenced below). Approx 20yrs ago, got home from the pub, watched it on VHS for the umpteenth time and for some reason, emailed Nicholas' agent to see if I could get an autograph.

Forgot about it.

Monday morning, got a call on my mobile. It was Nicholas Parsons. Had a good chat about Mr Jolly; he said it was the one thing that he was quizzed about more than anything else. I ended up sending him the VHS sleeve which he dedicated and signed, along with a signed photo to my wife and I.

RIP Nicholas "Bloody" Parsons

It set me up for a gentle tribute joke, which I hope was taken by all in the spirit in which it was intended.

Was a cr*p dad joke, as told to me as a kid by my dad.

Very sad news. Always liked him and we have lost a legend, in my opinion. A friend of mine years ago got me his autograph and said he was a lovely bloke. RIP Nicholas

I met him once in the early 2000s and he was a nice man, quite posh and a big cricket fan. I spoke to him about football and he had no idea or interest in it. I thought he might have been a Norwich fan.

Sale of the Century was a classic show of that era. 96 is a brave age, most of us won't see it for sure.

No missed episodes of Just a minute in over 50 years [1967-2017], great work ethic.
When asked why he was still working when others were long retired - "because its fun"

For anyone who hasn't seen it... please watch The Comic Strip Presents - Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door. Parsons is superb playing himself, the comedy straight man.

Nope... it's a scene from Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, so is relevant to Parsons
