Oh no. Nicholas Parsons gone? He ruled Just a Minute for Just a Lifetime. A stunning achievement: never scripted, always immaculate. From comedian's sidekick to great institution, via Sale of the Century & much more. Unrivalled continuity, professionalism & commitment. Farewell x

Gosh, I'd quite forgotten that m'colleague @hughlaurie and I had Nicholas Parsons on our show way back when, and that m'col showed the great man all the love we felt for him then and feel now at his going – youtube.com/watch?v=d9hbD6…

It seems ridiculous to say "I can't believe he's gone" about a 96YO, but in NP's case it's so true. He felt eternal. Surely we could have had a little more hesitation? RIP.

Very good! It’s hard to make an “appropriate” joke about someone’s passing, but that works.
He was a great presenter.

They need to do Nicholas Parsons as a topic on next Just a Minute. Have a minute silence and end it with a buzzer and him saying "hesitation". I think that would be a nice sweet tribute.

I’ve just seen a tv episode of #jam in 2012 where the subject of a round was #NicholasParsons and of course @sueperkins and @PaulMerse took the Mick but it was incredibly funny. He will certainly be missed. And remember it’s only hesitation if you then start talking!

His role in the often overlooked comedy ”Mr Jolly Lives Next Door,” with Rick Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, was superbly played. Well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. #RIP Mr Parsons.
