I love him. Brilliant guy. In Rocky Horror show as the narrator. A brief part in Doctor Who (Sylvester McCoy). Much loved by me. RIP and may he rest with ancestors.

Are you talking about Gary? I wasn't aware that he had died.

[@ivaneames4354]

@@annhird5560 No, Nicholas.

[@drd1314]

Thank you for sharing, what I would give to go back to those days. Nobody could ever replace Nicholas Parsons on this programme - he owned it. What do we have now - 'Love Island' - god forbid.

[@gaskellr44]

This is generally a radio show that is still going since his passing and Sue Perkins is doing a fine job of hosting and adjudicating it now.

[@Knappa22]

I'd forgotten how charming Isla Blair is. She seems to have completely disappeared from TV now - probably involved with theatre productions

[@Reichieru1]

The fact that Gyles remembered the raincoat gag twenty years later to use it on QI is impressive.

[@karry299]

He remembered it because he tells that story once a day. Oh, sorry, AT LEAST once a day.

[@Omnicient.]

I remember things from 50 years ago. It can be easy to do.

[@fredansell9276]

At this stage of his life, Nicholas Parsons bears a distinct resemblance to Michael Caine.

[@Ianvlogs1]

My favourite show

[@ivaneames4354]

I miss Linda Smith.

[@mtiller2006]

Ooh, Gyles! That really was an unjust remark at 20:38, I think Nicholas should have subtracted a point or locked out his buzzer for being a bit too snarky there

[@annhird5560]

But hoist with his own petard.

[@fredansell9276]

Linda did not repeat "enormous". She did however repeat "amount," having used that word in her first go.

[@gaskellr44]

Does anyone happen to have any copies of the 1991-93 series "The Brain Drain" 1st or 2nd series, main cast being Jo Brand and Tony Hawks? Although very funny, it only lasted 2 series unfortunately.

[@RichardTingley]

Gary Wilmot!

[@fredansell9276]

repetition of "ssssss"" hilarious!

[@namk19]

I thought it was Lord finchley who tried to mend the electric light there Gyles. (Buzz) Deviation!

[@LoneKharnivore]

Also he kept saying "Lloyd" when the subject was "Lloyds" or "Lloyd's."

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Gyles is such a rude ****. Apparently it's not OK to be rude to Linda but it is to Gary.

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

0FindGlory But he's a bumptious oik anyway. He always has been.

[@namk19]

Matthew McVeagh yes but he does it an entertaining way
