Biography

Parkinson was born in Barnsley in 1935, an only child who grew up in a mining village close to Grimethorpe Colliery. He is really more a journalist and chat show presenter than game show host, but he has presented a couple of panel games in his long career.

Cut "Parky" in half and you'd find the word "Yorkshire" written right through him. He is a passionate follower of the game of cricket.

Trivia

His mother used to design knitting patterns.
