I grew up like many others watching Nicholas Parsons on Sale of the Century. When I was a young aspiring journalist once upon a time in the late ‘80s, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to share afternoon tea with Nicholas Parsons in a posh London hotel. I was so starstruck 😂 He was charming and believe it or not, he dropped a couple of f-bombs into our conversation.( quietly of course!) He was so funny and incredibly interesting to converse with, bless him. He was a lovely chap and a true gentleman who gave me a respectful peck on the cheek when I had finished interviewing him and he thanked me for my time. Rest in peace Nicholas and thank you x

Lovely gentleman godbless Nicolas and thanks as always for this video

Myself and a friend owned a photography studio and we were lucky enough to take the photos that appeared on the front cover of his book. He was a very nice and professional gentleman.

Always watched Sale of the Century as a child. Very unassuming man with a wealth of talent

The Stopwatch on the headstone represents the bbc radio comedy show "Just a minute " which he hosted for a very long time .

The gravestone you focus on at 9:56 is of a famous actress and the one time wife of Rex Harrison, Kay Kendall, who died of leukemia. She starred in the classic film Genevieve.

R.I.P NICOLE'S PARSONS GONE BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN

Only met Nicholas once . It was around 1986 so in his 60s. I was waterskiing at Paul Seatons ski centre at Thorpe park in Surrey. Nicholas was a decent skier and just as friendly as his tv persona . Preferred him in real life to his tv personality where I always thought he was about too slick. RIP Nicholas

I saw Nicholas Parson's as the 'Narrator' for the Rocky Horror Show, he was brilliant, and wore stockings and suspenders, what a trooper!

Aw bless him, I still listen to his old radio show Just a Minute. I loved anything he was in. He had class, was funny and so quick-witted. Thank you Paul. x

Thanks for this Paul , Nicholas was such a really lovely guy when I met him in July 1989 , Harlow Town Park when Then Jerico were playing , he introduced them , he was a really nice person …. Shame same can’t be said about the drunk yobs behind us TJ fans (we were at the very front ) who crushed us into the barrier and gave my mate concussion ! Ugh Rip Nicholas ❤x

Watching from Ireland I remember watching him on the TV in the 1980s May you rest in peace 🙏.

Magic, my mum would force me to watch sale of the century as a youngster. The man came across as a very decent wholesome human being. Thanks for this one Paul, that really brought the memories flooding back for me .

He was fantastic RIP Nickolas

Hi Paul. Another great respectful tribute to a much underrated actor. I remember him appearing in one of the Margaret Rutherford "Miss Marple" films where he played a doctor. He was a softly well spoken gentleman who never received the accolades he truly deserved. Much missed. Thanks Paul and thank you Nicolas Parsons ❤

Paul would fufill my suggestion by visiting the grave of english actor gene wilder and you are the sweetest kindest most special person on earth ♥️♥️

Loved Sale of the Century. It's one of my favourites. Quantity TV in those days.

Thanks Paul. Nicholas was a household name with a varied career! Excellent respectful episode. Cheers, Bob

Aw beings back happy memories, as I used to watch Sale Of The Century with my Nanna when I was a little kid. Nanna loved him . Thank you Paul😊❤😊

Loved Nicholas Parsons' Sale of the Century ❤ This upload puts me in mind of the Two Ronnie's Newscast: Ronnie Corbett: "In the next sketch, I interview a lady who likes Nicholas Parsons". Ronnie Barker: "And I interview a Parson who likes knickerless ladies" 🤣🤣🤣.

Sale of the century was another great show in the 1970's , that era will be remembered well by all who lived through that time , many good shows on TV . Thankyou Paul

RIP Nicholas a good all round entertainr sadly missed not forgotten 🎉nice video poul thanks respect 🙏 👏 top man 👨

Hi Paul great work my uncle was on this didn't win but got a nice teas maid 😊

I remember Nicholas Parsons very well. His voice always was so smooth . Old school entertainer, another one was Leslie Crowther . Different but cut from the same cloth so to speak. Both remembered with fondness. Thanks Paul 👍

He's brilliant in Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, along with Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson and Peter Cook. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Plays it totally straight and bewildered at the lunacy going on around him which makes it even funnier.

I watched that again the other day on DVD. Nicholas Parsons was brilliant in it! Genius comedy. Interesting that Nicholas Parsons and Peter Cook are both in this cemetery, as they were both in Mr Jolly Lives Next Door.

Thank you for your kind words, each time, 🙏

The lovely Nicholas Parsons. I love well spoken people and he was one of them. Thank you Paul.

I'm really happy you have done a Doctor Who actor! Being a big fan of the classic era. My son, age 10, wrote to him in 2014 asking for an autograph for his primary school as he was collecting Doctor Who ones for his school, which are still up today. He sent back with autographs and a lovely note. A really nice man. Thank you for showing this. Hope you do some more Doctor Who Actors and Actresses.

i used to watch Sale of The Century years back with my mum and dad always waiting for my favourite tv show coming on after it . The Six Million Dollar Man :)

Hi Paul great tribute to a man I remember well as a kid watching sale of the century with my Mum and Dad.Ricky Gervais apparently does live in Church Row Hampstead and it's widely reported that the cemetery scenes from his show afterlife were in Hampsted cemetery. Cheers mate✌️

Great video Paul thank you 🙏

Struck at how old and decayed the grave looks given he only died 4 years ago. Sad that nobody seems to visit it much either. Big part of my childhood and a long life well-lived. Loved his voice, it was like velvet. May he RIP

Watched sale of the century every Saturday night when I was younger and loved it,Nicholas parson was a great entertainer, thank you paul for another good find ,keep up the good work x

I loved sale of the century.

Hi Paul Simon Cowell was a contestant on Sale Of The Century and thank you for doing what you do 😄

He was working well into his nineties! I knew he'd trained to be an engineer in Glasgow but had no idea he was the son of a GP. Loved listening to Just a Minute; a simple concept and just good clean fun.

Thanks Paul.Great respectful video as they always are.

Morning Paul, just got back, great video, gosh I remember Sale of the century lol, saw Nicolas Parsons live at lakeside country club, it was a charity event and he spent hours signing autographs, seemed like a real gent. Have a great week and looking forward to the next one 👍👍

Awww fabulous .. I requested for you to see Nicholas Parsons resting place ,on your live a few months ago. Saw Nicholas in panto when I was a teenager in Sunderland Empire. Well done Paul. 👏 x

Dankeschön Paul das ich dieses Video schauen durfte. Er hat ja trotz allem noch ein schönes Alter erreicht. Möge er in Frieden ruhen 🙏🏻. Thank you. Paul

Loved him in "Mr Jolly Lives Next Door" Mr Jolly actually being Peter Cook! - I saw Nicholas many years ago as he parked behind me at the crescent in Cheltenham Spa.

From Norwich its the quiz of the week,, 😂😂😂😂BOOM 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Paul. You are smashing it with 90k subscribers. Well deserved!

Such a versatile man. Thank you for this.

Hi paul l remember nicholas parsons a gentleman never seemed to age thanks for that

Good one Paul lot of info I loved Nicholas parsons my mum used to watch him too with Arthur Haines very funny together long career he had and lived to a good age rip Nicholas parsons thanks Paul 😊❤️

Got Nicholas Parsons on DVD in 'The Arthur Haynes show' (ATV) ITV.

Cheers Paul. Sorry I missed your Premier. Nicolas Parsons was one of a kind. Give him a programme & he would just slot in. Top job mate. 👏

Hi Paul I remember him so well as I was growing up. Very interesting story. He did so much in his life. Thanks for sharing love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💜🫰

Again, the shoes Paul, “ the shoes” 😂😂😂👌👌

Another great episode, thank you

Nice one Paul I remember watching sale of the century growing up with my dear mum she loved that show among others back then. Cheers mate 🍻

Hi Paul, I remember watching sale of the century, well it was a show my parents watched so it was one of those we watched on a Saturday night, while watching this episode I noticed you passed by the resting place of Kay Kendall, you may have heard of her , she was married to Rex Harrison she was only young when she passed away ... I only noticed because I recognised her name ,so I googled it to see if she was interred there ... And it is her .... ❤ Love your channel ❤

I watched Sale of the Century for the put downs of people who tried to anticipate the questions - and gave incorrect answers. He was a great supporting actor in many films of the 50s and 60s and perfect as the host of Just a Minute. Much missed.

Morning Paul. Loved sale of the century. Great look life nicholas had .
