CHATSHOW king Michael Parkinson is coming home – for two book-signing sessions in South Yorkshire.
He will be meeting fans and old friends when he promotes Parky, My Autobiography, this Wednesday, October 8.
The first book signing is a two hour session at Waterstone's, 24-26 Orchard Square, Sheffield, from 12 noon to 2pm.
Then he is at WH Smith, 45 High Street, Meadowhall, 5pm to 6pm.
Born in Cudworth, Barnsley, his book is already soaring up the book charts and looks certain to be a Christmas bestseller.
From prize-winning journalist to chat show king on a show voted one of the top ten British TV programmes of all time, his starry career spans over four decades.
Now an international celebrity himself, the man from a humble but colourful Yorkshire mining family who can tease out the secrets of even the most reticent star guest, at last reveals his own story, with the easy manner and insight that has kept his audiences fascinated.
His distinguished career has involved working on highly acclaimed current affairs and film programmes. His wide interests and expertise include jazz, film, football and cricket.
Witty, humorous and blessed with exceptional intellectual clarity, Parky's memoir is out now – from all good book stores.
