Broadcaster and chat show host Michael Parkinson meets broadcaster and chat show host Gay Byrne.
Having served 11 years on his own chat show at the BBC, Michael Parkinson has become a household name.
Michael has recently been spending a lot of time in Australia while filming a chat show there. He is finding it to be a welcome change from everyday life in Britain.
It’s such a long, long way away that when you get there, it’s like being on another planet and everything that worries you in Europe and everything that bothers you in Britain disappears.
Michael says that working for the BBC is like playing in the first division and any other television is by comparison second division.
Gay and Michael reflect on their time working together at Granada Television.
Michael is not a fan of American television and how the judge the success of a show.
American television is full of people who can read a rating but are struck dumb when you ask them what a show is like.
In contrast to this, he says that the BBC did not make programmes for money but for people.
This episode of The Late Late Show was broadcast on 23 October 1982. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
