any interviews gone bad?


has there every been a time when parkinson and guess have not seen eye to eye or not got on.

only one i can think of is woody allen

Meg Ryan, a few years ago. She was monosyllabic, in a bad mood, and generally rude. Parkinson, in despair, asked her what she would do now if she were him. She said she'd end the interview, so I believe he did. I forget who the other poor guests who were there, probably squirming with embarrassment.
I didn't see Woody Allen - what happened there ?

he brought up about woodys affair with the babysitter(i think she was the babysitter?.) and he wouldn`t drop that line of questions.

poor woody was not happy.

There have been a few I think....like the Mohammed Ali one, where Ali basically said he'd knock Parkinson out :P

Another was the famous Rod Hull one, where he attacked Parkinson with his Emu puppet :D But yeah, the Meg Ryan one is supposedly the worst...she just said 'Yes' 'No' to all the questions, and basically acted a right bitch.

Parkinson's a bit of a *beep* really isn't he? lol

reply

A bit of a people pleaser rather than being honest with his guests....

The worst one was Fanny Craddock (the old TV cook, now sadly deceased). That was on the classic BBC series on in the 70's.

Oh Yes!...

The other guests with Meg Ryan were the guy from Eastenders, very funny interview, and Trinny and Suzanna. Trinny was just about to have a baby, Eastenders guy said "Can we have our ball back?" Suzanna had just had hers.

Mind gone blank. Can't think of his name!

Have remembered, it was Shane Richie.
