So farewell then Nicholas Parsons

I see Stephen Fry has tweeted this fond farewell to showbiz legend Nicholas Parsons. Oh no. Nicholas Parsons gone? He ruled Just a Minute, for Just a Lifetime. Oh fuck it - repetition of the word 'just', so over to you Paul Merton. Aaaah, Err ... Oh fuck hesitation, over to you Sandi Toksvig. A stunning achievement: never scripted, always immaculate. From comedian's sidekick to great institution, via Sale of the Century & much more. Unrivalled continuity, professionalism & commitment. Farewell. Oh bollocks, repetition of Farewell. Fuck it, aaagh; repetition of "fuck it" And with just 1 second to go - it's over to you Benny to tell us something new about Nicholas Parsons. Woof !
