I grew up with Michael Parkinson and Jimmy Tarbuck. My childhood wasn't great but these two always made me smile. RIP Parky and goodonya Tarby. It's always a sad time when we lose a friend. xxx

[@colinpadley1897]

Lovely tribute, he was a patron of the Jazz Centre in Essex, he came down one day and I had my picture taken with me, he was very approachable.

[@gayejohnston9580]

😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@colinturner4158]

Agree Jimmy the best interviewer of the stars he was brilliant

[@McSynth]

Splendid tribute. 🙂

[@christineburgess3826]

Great to see this tribute was handled so sensitively by the two presenters who realised how much of a friend Jimmy Tarbuck was to Michael Parkinson and how he might buckle under the weight of responsibility of paying tribute to his friend. Well done all…Sincerest Condolences to Michael’s family and friends.

[@francis400]

The rich the famous the talented and Jimmy Tarbuck!

A true legend in every facit of his professional and personal life...A lot of us grew up on Parky and I'm so proud to say that...Michael you will be missed by us all but never ever forgotten 💞💞💞

[@andypalin3287]

Fabulous tribute Tarby! 😀

[@michaelsix9684]

great interviewer, fun to watch, and he will be missed

[@alygodsquad]

Always watched Parky on a Saturday night. He balanced having a laugh with the guests with the more serious questions. Just loved him.

[@margaretobrien3416]

only one parky my childhood watching him on a saturday night rest in peace lad

[@marycollia8914]

Rest in peace Michael Parkinson, I absolutely adored your show and loved the fact that you asked appropriate questions, I was so upset when the show finished. I loved how you would laugh uncontrollably at your comedic guests that you had on the show. Rest in eternal love Parky

[@nathelondon3719]

I once sang with Andy Williams. He was on the radio. I was in the bath! RIP Parky.

[@jamesmcguire1608]

The best ever...rest easy parky ❤

[@barryonyett8638]

Best interview I liked was with Peter Sellers

[@lorrainehenderson4777]

He was simply the best of all time

[@peteworthy8322]

"We feel like we know him". Well you did, because Michael Parkinson was exactly as you saw him on his shows. A really genuine man. He will be missed by us all, whether we knew him personally, or just from his shows on the telly.

[@sleepydank8330]

What a mammoth of a man he was mr parky

[@Synthematix]

[@williamriley8317]

[@seamus9750]

The legends of my generation are dropping off at an alarming rate...makes us aware of our own mortality !!

[@barryonyett8638]

Yes will be missed John Bishop take a look at some old parky interviews and see how it’s done properly

[@francismcenerney5768]

I was a fan of Michael s show, he was fair, and he got the best out of his guests, RIP

[@levimacdonald5188]

[@dermotkelly6946]

Good man Jimmy 👍

[@jonnybegood1544]

Well said jimmy)) will miss hom

[@lorrainehenderson4777]

Hi will be sadly missed

[@russellaustin8453]

Nice to see Tarby looking well !

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

He was in a league of his own " Magic "

[@free..to..air..]

Like Terry Wogan..Michael Parkinson put people at ease and listened to what they said..only occasionally prompting when he had to..

[@elaineprescott3972]

Absolutely.

[@johnevans191]

2 of the greats Terence. Well said

[@AI_admin]

I feel lucky to have grown up as a child through the 70/80's, I loved Parky even at a young age. TV today is just not the same. In Australia its all reality TV, utter garbage. I don't think we will ever see another Parky in this day and age, and I'm not a fan of the GOAT label, but he was the GOAT in his industry. RIP Sir Michael Parkinson.

[@RobertHarpin]

Completely agree with you

[@SuzyQ334]

WTF is a GOAT? And how disrespectful could you possibly be at the loss of one of Britain's best entertainers?

[@RobertHarpin]

God Bless parky

[@alec1113]

Well done, jimmy, son . 👍

[@streamsofconsciousness8651]

Tarbuck is still alive?? Wow... havent seen him in decades. He's looking good, I guess he just plays golf these days

[@RobertThomson-y4m]

The list of stars includes the beckhams??? Dear God......

[@philiphalpenny9761]

Agreed. James Cagney, Bette Davis, Orson Welles, Jimmy Stewart...&, er yeah, the Beckham's!!

[@lorrainehenderson4777]

He will be sadly missed

[@Rob-uv8bu]

And BBC never let him return

[@Talboy-d7g]

We're the days back then We had the best and England ❤ 1950/70 So much natural talent and success in life Michael had the best Unfortunately nothing left no talent No comedy No laughing Nothing on TV Make a film 🎥 Evey one Get Oscar's for doing nothing Thanks Michael ❤ Made England British values British sense of humour Proper laughing Great back then 1950/

[@colinturner4158]

RIP the great Michael Parkinson

[@gabrielletanner5339]

He met, if not more, people than Queen Elizabeth

[@KD400_]

That's debatable but Muhammad Ali met more people than both of them combined

[@leoniepreece1784]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@markstevens9660]

Superb question Charlotte … ‘how do you feel ‘ …..ffs

[@Wallydaft]

David and Victoria Beckham...wow........Is there anyone Tarbuck won't come out for.

[@bmkbmk4469]

RIP Parky ♥️

[@SISU889]

The Guvnor ! RIP .

[@cecilefox9136]

R.I.P. Sir Michael.

[@englishbottlecap]

both the interviewers seem so shallow compared to the depth of emotion Jimmy Tarbuck was expressing

[@chopchopbusybusyworkworkba420]

How is Jimmy not a Sir

[@henryb160]

He was successfully prosecuted for stealing from Terry Thomas.

[@prideofdurham4776]

Tarbuck could never speak to the cameras without mentioning bloody golf, as if to say "I have such a well paid and important job I can afford to play golf"

[@michaelboardman8810]

Sadly missed

[@BR-tf7jd]

The introduction was utterly mind boggling. He interviewed the world's biggest stars...Muhammed Ali...definitely...Elton John...absolutely and then he said, wait for it, the Beckhams hahaha!!!!. I thought he was gonna say Orson Welles or Tom Cruise or some other real world star...what idiots.

[@yesman2755]

Yeh I had a WTF moment when they were mentioned

[@godzuks]

other than being his friend... who is jimmy tarbuck?

[@augustseptember3503]

Parky was streets ahead of the boring, shallow, infantile, false laughter American chat show hosts (Dick Cavett was the exception). RIP Parky!

[@michaelsandford1015]

I thought Jimmy tarbuck was dead

[@Cherryplanter]

Why all this talk about Michael Parkinson? You mustn't overdo these things, possums. Many of these people, these so called stars that Michael had on his show were non-entities. Some were real stars. They were friends of mine who needed an appearance on a show. So I mentioned them to Michael, working behind the scenes, putting shows together for him using my connections, taking time out of my busy schedule. I like to help people. It's just the kind of person I am. Every time I was on the show I got exciting reviews, being a megastar. The audiences loved me. Michael was lucky enough to be my guest several times over the years. He told me I was his favourite, my female urges and juices coming out in great gusts. I shared my experiences, always in the strictest confidence. I was his most popular guest. Sadly, all things must end. Thank you for reading me in your homes viewers! Dame E. Everage

[@SuzyQ334]

Actually, your rant was about 6 paragraphs too long. I doubt anyone read it.

[@christophercurtis2893]

That presenter is so fake

[@badfairy9554]

I thought Jimmy was dead.

[@youarewhatyouare]

At least he didn't die of parkinsons disease

[@grahamjordan1040]

Give it a rest nobody cares

[@ajay999999]

Thought Tarby was dead

[@yesman2755]

Me too. He just stays under the radar I guess. Fair play to him, he had his years of fame and knew when to quit.

[@stjust17320]

Cor tarby gets on my wick rode in on the Liverpool sensation, l have never found out what his talent was supposed to be. Apart from endless tales about people who befriended him that’s it?

[@gardenroom65]

In an era of male chauvinism.

[@mickclay-vx1sx]

Tarbuck getting a bit of pr

[@tomsurrey2252]

I'm soooo sorry to post this BUT, JT was never funny, (boom boom)!! Just like John Bishop / Michael Macintyre they are all embarrassing! Where did all the comedians' go?? And, as for MP I have ALWAYS thought he was bloody useless... stuttering... erming etc and WHY, was he effin knighted???? WHY? BUT, I am sorry, he's passed! Why not look up some of the posts', coming out of where he worked... very interesting, to say the least!

[@stjust17320]

So right ..claim to fame was Barnsley born and breed. Why didn’t these famous northerners live in the north if it was great….been up there loads of times and saw nothing to admire with the culture etc whippets and Lowry not much else

[@silversteel6312]

Michael who? That’s show business folks! Next!

[@colinamor]

Drop kick dence dope moron just some of the things you are .

[@christinewallis8953]

What an awful comment to make in the circumstances!

[@silversteel6312]

@@christinewallis8953 From one who knows. Michael would chuckle. His absence on and off the screen will make our lives poorer. He was best in class and I sincerely hope NTA or BAFTA create an award in his memory. Please do not worry about the humour comment. The wonderful Michael is laughing along. Take care.

[@SuzyQ334]

What a nasty person you are.

[@kendavies945]

"David and Victoria Beckham". Who are they??? Seriously, Parkinson deserved so much better than that.
