BFF26 Parky
How did a miner’s son from working-class Yorkshire become Britain’s most celebrated interviewer, beloved by millions and knighted by the Queen, yet never truly believe he belonged?
From the producers of Academy Award® nominated documentary Porcelain War comes this revelatory portrait of Sir Michael Parkinson, the brilliant and complicated man behind ‘Parky’, Britain’s greatest interviewer.
Told through Sir Michael Parkinson’s own words and revelatory testimony from those closest to him, including his youngest son Mike Parkinson, this intimate portrait looks beyond the beloved ‘Parky’ icon to reveal a brilliant and complicated man who spent a lifetime drawing the truth from others while keeping his own carefully hidden.
Directed by Luke Mazzaferro (Whistle) and Luke Cornish (Dance Life), Parky features a treasure trove of archival footage from some of his most famous interviews, including with Australians Kylie Minogue, Andrew Denton, Dame Edna Everage, Bob Hawke, and more.
