I passed Michael Parkinson in Covent Garden on Thursday. He was very smartly dressed in a perfectly tailored navy blue suit and Garrick tie. His hair was thick and white and he looked indecently well preserved. Only his careful walk betrayed the fact that he's seventy-two. Odd how you don't really see people walk on the TV.
I work near Granada studios in Manchester and occasionally see the odd Coronation Street actor around. I saw Bill Roache (Ken Barlow) a few months ago, he's an impeccable 75. I also saw Rita Fairclough flicking the "V's" at a lorry driver but that's another story.
