00:00 Dickie thank you so much for giving us your time. I know that you've been very close friends
00:05 with Sir Michael, I'm very sorry for your loss. I gather you spoke to him very recently?
00:10 Yeah, we spoke yesterday morning and we said our goodbyes because he hasn't been well.
00:17 We said our goodbyes yesterday morning to each other. He's my closest friend and we've
00:26 been friends since we were school boys. I've lost a great friend, my closest friend and
00:33 my dearest friend. We spoke yesterday morning and we said our goodbyes because we knew it
00:38 was getting to the end. Dickie I'm so sorry to hear that and again so sorry for your loss
00:45 from all of us here and from people watching I'm sure. How will you remember him Dickie?
00:54 I just remember him as my close friend, a friend who was so dear to me. If I had any
01:01 difficulties, any problems in life, the first man I used to ring was Sir Michael Parkinson.
01:09 Parkey was such a dear friend to me and my condolences go out to Mary, his wife and his
01:18 lads and he will always be in my thoughts as long as I live. He was sad yesterday morning
01:25 when we said our goodbyes to each other. He was very sad.
