This collection celebrates the great talkers and demonstrates what the Parkinson show was all about. By concentrating in greater depth on individuals who remain fresh in the memory and high in my esteem you'll be entertained, informed and reminded that the show gave time and space for the guest to talk on whatever subject took their fancy. So sit back and enjoy the likes of Oprah Winfrey on her extraordinary childhood, Michael Caine on learning to drive Hollywood Style, Dr Jacob Bronowski's thoughts on the morality of science, Jonathan Miller's chicken impressions, Peter Ustinov's ordeal at the hands of Japan's answer to Michael Parkinson, Dame Judi Dench on Shakespeare in the nude, Don McCullin on war photography and Bette Midler on performing in Turkish Baths. Who needs Britain's Got Talent when you've got Parky's Picks.
