    To be honest, I thought he'd been gone a while. Can't complain at 96 though.........

    So alert, sharp and humorous whilst in his nineties as the chairman of "Just a Minute". Great respect. RIP.

    Amazing guy to be that sharp at 96. I struggle with some of the challenges on JAM as it is, but he seems to have near perfect recollection.

    Who's going to fill his shoes - it's a tough call. I think R4 got it spot on when they replaced Humphrey Littleton with Jack Dee. As much as I like Clive Anderson as a presenter though, I still don't think he's been able to fill Ned Sherrin's boots. It'll be a brave person that wants to take on Parsons' role.

    RIP

    Nicholas Parsons WAS Just A Minute.

    50 years plus from Clement Freud and Derek Nimmo as resident panellists to Paul Merton now.

    That's before we think about all the other stuff he did.

    RIP

    I met him at the Boat Show when I was young. He was very kind and friendly, taking time to have a chat to me.

    Plus Peter Fenn on the organ. 

    Back in the late 70's into the early 80's, I would spend Saturday mornings being coached at Finchley Cricket School. Nicholas Parsons used to have the net before me at 9am. He was enthusiastic but not much cop....and I used to think he was improperly dressed because he wore a white Fred Perry instead of a cricket shirt. Funny the things you remember....

    That aside, he was an excellent broadcaster and a great servant to the Lords Taverners. 
    No repetition, well done :-)
    RIP

    In memory of Nicholas Parsons, I watched Mr Jolly Lives Next Door at lunchtime. Bit scary to think that Parsons was 8 years older back then than Rik Mayall was when he died.

    Grew up with JAM as my mum used to have it on the radio and listening to it up to the present day. Then later the quiz of the week of course. Seems like a true gent who lived a great life. RIP.

    First thing I thought. I was more shocked that it was released 32 years ago!

    I hope that, at the appropriate time, a minute's silence will be observed.  And there will be no interruptions.

    Astonishingly sharp witted and articulate in his nineties hosting Just a minute,  just as he was at its inception in 1967.  A real pro.

    RIP.

    Fantastic commitment and energy until the end. He should have been knighted for his contribution to entertainment. Never mind he is gong now 😉
