ALL TALKED OUT

So, ITV1 have announced the guest line-up for the last ever Parkinson. Prepare to fill in your bingo cards now: "Joining him in the studio for this final time are David Beckham, Billy Connelly [sic], Dame Judi Dench, Sir David Attenborough, Sir Michael Caine, Peter Kay, Dame Edna Everage with music by Jamie Cullum".

“They are friends who have made a particular contribution to the show," says the man himself. "They are also people of great talent and interest and what a wonderful way to finish”. The episode goes out on Saturday 15 December. The following Saturday there'll be another last-ever episode, in which Parky looks back at old clips. And then - hooray! - it's all over.
Comments:
I had a strange feeling that Muhammad Ali might be invited back. Can't decide if it would be fair or not, or even if the great man would be up to it; it feels like it might be the way to end the show on a high, or am I being sentimental?
 
So they didn't get Toby Hull on with Emu then? I can see why. Toby Hull is useless with the puppet. It would have been embarassing for all the wrong reasons.
 
Michael Parkinson is a miserable, self-obsessed sod.

Not exactly an exclusive, but it never becomes tiresome to say it.
