Nicholas Parsons RIP

There are some people in every field of life whose longevity is such that it seems that they might go on forever. But in this universe, nothing does.

One broadcasting legend who appeared to have been around since time immemorial died in the early hours of this morning at the age of 96, after hosting the show "Just a minute" for more than fifty years and well into his nineties, presenting his last programme as recently as 23rd September last year.

The final whistle has blown for Nicholas Parsons, one of the best loved figures in entertainment.

Besides "Just a minute" which Parsons hosted from its inception in 1967 until his death, he also appeared on or hosted a huge range of programmes, from "Sale of the Century" to "Doctor Who."

While he was immensely funny, he came over as a very gentle, good-natured person who was a delight to listen to and will undoubtedly be greatly missed.

Rest in Peace.
