麻豆社

Broadcaster Steve Wright looks back at the times when Nicholas Parsons guested on his hugely popular 麻豆社 Radio 2 show.

As a show, Steve Wright in the Afternoon - both on Radio 1 and Radio 2 - was renowned for the calibre of its guest interviews, none more so than in the field of comedy. From Jack Dee to Chevy Chase, the guest chair rocked with mirth as Steve and The Posse used their unique approach to establish what made the interviewee tick.

Nicholas Parsons was the most frequent guest. Steve's admiration of him from an early age, combined with Nicholas's generosity, charm and wealth of anecdotes always made for entertaining listening.

This compilation of Radio 2 interviews - from 2003 to 2017 - captures the warmth and reflects the longevity of a much missed entertainer.
