Like the show's host the format seems dated.

Michael Parkinson may have been popular in the 1970s but his current chat show has gone seriously downhill. His interview techniques are intrusive especially when he has US guests, who're obviously not accustomed to this style of interviewing. I know most of his guests are there to plug a book, film etc. but his personal questions are something one might endure on a psychiatrists couch not a chat show. On a funnier note his switch of channels has meant he can't cherry pick musical guests (i.e Jazz, his favourite) & backstage Mary (his accompanying wife) can't savour free flowing champagne in the green room.moreless
