Michael Parkinsons' 'Dear Friend' Recalls Emotional Final Phone Call Days Before Death

Sir Michael Parkinson Remembered as The Most Outstanding Interviewer of His Generation

Sir Michael Parkinson's 'dear friend' Dickie Bird has shared heartbreaking details of his final phone call with the renowned broadcaster just days before he died aged 88


BBC 18 AUG 2023





Dickie Bird has recalled the final phone call with his “dear friend” Sir Michael Parkinson, who died aged 88 on Wednesday following a short illness.

The sad news comes eight years after the renowned TV presenter was given the all-clear from prostate cancer, which he was initially diagnosed with back in 2013.


Michael had been close friends with the Yorkshire batsman for years, having first met him on the cricket pitch in the 1950s. A grieving Dickie, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday, has now said he doesn't know "how I will cope" without the broadcaster in his life.

"I shall miss him, I’ll tell you that," he told PA news agency. "Not only was he a friend but he was a dear friend and I just don’t know how I will cope, I will miss him so much. There will never be another Parky."
