Description

Parky: My Autobiography by Michael Parkinson. Michael Parkinson was born in a pit village in Yorkshire where he lived on the back row of the local cinema and dreamed of marrying Lauren Bacall, Vera Hruba Ralston and Veronica Lake, or anyone else who would have him. Pretending to be Humphrey Bogart, he became a journalist and a familiar sight around Barnsley and districts, riding his bike while wearing a military style raincoat, snap-brimmed trilby with elastic chinstrap and green cycle clips. Thus disguised, he bluffed his way on to the Manchester Guardian, and later the Daily Express in Fleet Street before being found out and sent back to Manchester, where he worked for Granada Television. He eventually ended up at the BBC with a talk show that ran for many years and made him an instantly recognisable face, mainly among the people who thought he was Michael Aspel. The dust jacket has light general wear with a light liquid stain on the bottom of the back cover. The book remains in a tight, bright and very tidy condition.
