I can honestly say that I was surprised it was him in "Mrs. Brown"???!!! How remarkable

What a lovely thing to say. All the best to ‘ya, fair laddie.

Too true Carlos. I came to watch this after just hearing an interview with Billy on Radio New Zealand National with Kim Hill. She's the best and Billy is wonderful.

Ok boomer

@@merfymac Got anything useful to say?

Sorry but the host of this show is Parkinson,Parkinson is a British television chat show that was presented by Michael Parkinson. It was first shown on BBC1 from 19 June 1971 to 10 April 1982 and from 9 January 1998 to 24 April 2004.

@@kentxx12 wtf are you talking about?

@@Mark_B544 Parkinson and 'Parkinson's'.....K O needs to be KO'd.

@@kentxx12 You have no idea what "Parkinson's disease" is do you? A wee hint - that's what Billy is living with. Go look it up. It might help you or others later.

@@Mark_B544 The name of the show was called Parkinson, hosted by Michael Parkinson. Although Billy now has Parkinson’s Disease, the title was referring to the show, not him having the disease.

Billy Connolly makes everyone laugh until they hurt. I think that is the point of Billy Connolly. He's the funniest man on the planet.

Billy Connolly makes everyone laugh until we hurt. Love you forever Bllly. And please keep making me laugh until I hurt. The day I stop laughing is when I know I've lost the plot. xxxxx

Spot on

I recall my husband video taping the Audience with billy conolly back in the 80s. We watched it over and over doing the narrative over and over. We knew the big slipper narrative and the priest visit which were just some we knew by heart. Classic.

U nailed it🇨🇦

@CovidConQuitTheCensorship. It's 2023, he's 97, and still charging forward! A truly remarkable gentleman!

@@MrsBJPalmer omg he's doing another planet earth series, wow, remarkable indeed

All three seem somewhat ageless and all able to hold conversation with the other and fascinating the other and having a great laugh along the way, love it

@@Nikita-jo4cl Well said.. I can hold and carry a conversation about almost anything with almost anyone and yet I find myself probably one of the loneliest sods on the planet.. I hope you and others find this amusing, because it is a classic example of my sense of humour.. I am a total 50/50 clash and melting pot of both my parents.. Dad, was a meat eating loner, long distance truck driver and mum was a way OTT talk the hind legs of a Donkey sociable cleaner/cashier vegan.. How on earth am I suppose to cope? Oops did I just think that out loud.? Warning, brief trip down misery/memory lane: My earliest recollection there was going to be problems in my future life was when my nan gave me a chicken leg to eat she had cooked for me when I was very young. I looked at it and looked up at her and immediately burst into tears.. What's up she asked? I don't know I said it's a dead animal I am eating.. Uncle said just put salt on it.. Trouble is he was right. What a bloody fecked up life I have been living (mostly solo) since..

Yes, imagine having those three at a dinner party

Paw X Paw There’s nothing wrong with that

So... Billy and david aged 20 years, but Parkinson aged 21? How did that sort out?

It’s the way he tells em !!

I remember on the VHS 'erect for 30 years' Parkinson said in their original run there two people who would add two million to the viewing figures and they were Muhammad Ali and Billy Connolly.

Comedian. Connolly is a man, not a woman.

So..much..respect between EVERYONE in this interview it's amazing... ZERO ego..

Indeed, Mike! This is how gentlemen of class conduct themselves!

That's a pro...good man, Big Yin...

Back when people had manners, not egos

Yeah me too. Total respect on both sides. All legends!

Fiona kunnt What about wee Janette Tough? Your emotive selectiveness is perfectly vile.

@@cquilty1Go away troll. 😡🇬🇧

@@Ionabrodie69 Sure I'm a troll, princess. This from you - a clown who replies unsolicited to a year-old comment of mine. Sad really... Hee! Hee!

Yes, but sadly though very well deserved by these 3, they got the same title as SIR Jimmy Savile (🤮) and SIR Tony Blair ( 🤮) . We’ll probably have Lord Rishi Sunak next !!! And don’t start name on LORD Paul. Met him, know all about him and see his connections to Wolverhampton ‘ university ‘. Maybe we should have more scrutiny of this ludicrous ‘ honours ‘ system with a public vote every couple of years on who is TRULY deserving ! These 3 clearly are - love them all.

@@christinescarff4920 Sa-vile is no longer a SIR although I wish he'd lived to have it stripped from him instead of losing it because he died.

@@lorraineydays57 Oh, glad to hear that was done posthumously anyway. You do seriously wonder at the intelligence ( or lack of ) of the royal family though, cos wasn’t he a personal friend of Prince Charles, and Charlie Boy’s been in trouble again for getting titles for rich dubious Arabs who contribute to his charities. Funnily enough, my cousin worked as a nurse at ‘ Jimmy’s ‘ the hospital in Leeds where Savile volunteered , and though she didn’t know what was really going on always said there was something really creepy about him ( which is obvious when you look back at his interviews etc ) and that the way he had virtually free reign unsupervised in the hospital was really bad . I’m a catholic, but loathe the institution of the Catholic Church and most Catholics I’ve ever known who have been bigoted hypocrites , but Savile was a supposedly ‘ good catholic ‘ was he given the bene merente or similar by the Pope ? Some of the world’s worst dictators have been ‘ good practising Catholics ‘ - Pinochet, Marcos, Franco ! I rest my case ! 😡😡😡😡😡

One that one would do well to adopt!

“Sir”🤢🤮

Who absolutely true Yo Yo. Thankfully his legacy will never fade....

@@user-uu1et3fk4c you can puke all you want, but he actually has that title...

This should b be compulsory viewing for all chat show hosts. This is how it should be done let the guests do the talking. Back then we had Parkinsonism David Frost etc Interviewing interesting talented people about interesting things nowadays all you get is Alan Carr, Piers Morgan or loose women talking to Dlist celebrities about their sex life

I'd have to say Three legends.....

@@rasextractionlimited1813 said same :)

hope u r well EL when you get a comedian, who does not know, what he is going to say 5 mins before his stand up shows begin, i call it genius..Parkinson was asked which guests , would increase audience figures, he answered Billy Connolly & Mohammed Ali and would add 2 million extra viewers ...when you think about it, they are very similar , their input was not Rehearsed, and when they let loose, parkinson just crossed his fingers ,,stay safe El Loco

Just watch Parky's interview with Orson Welles, totally mesmerising

And an interviewer who knows how to ask a question and allow his guests to answer

The best is rarely free and it is a pity - Sir Attenborough has no equal to this date so here again THANKS TO YOU TUBE. Dear Bee Jay a small part is better than none is not it? I am in the same predicament....cheers

well done

I think he got his diagnosis in the early 00s and kept it hidden and kept working away.

Ah Billy a genius

are you Yoda ?

Great comment and I fully concur..

SneakyShark I concur with your concurring

Absolutely concur.

Yes nicely put, all three are brilliant

One concurs with all five of you , one Doe's.

Can’t quite work out if you are slightly older or younger than me. As I was a biologist I watched ‘ Bellamy on Botany ‘ on my tutor’s recommendation then there was The Foresight Saga and The Pallisers and yes, I loved The Generation Game, but some pesky lads visiting Gfs in my Hall of Residence always wanted to watch the bloody football !

Sharing your point of view and from where I am, your point of vue.....

Paul Perfect I've just imagined it, I told Parkinson, the tedious old fucker, to get a taxi home

Harry

Billy doesn't drink.

TrainInVain Yorkshire people are boring. They can't take a joke bit they love to dish it out.

TrainInVain You´re missing the value of the straight man in comedy,
