Interviewer: With all your experience of interviewing, Michael, how can you tell if somebody is going to make a good interviewer?

Parkinson: Oh, I say, what a question! I’ve never been asked that before. Urn, I think that the prerequisite obviously is curiosity. I think that’s the, er, a natural one, not an assumed one. I think the people who have, um, done my job—and the graveyard of the BBC is littered with them, their tombstones are there, you know—who failed to have been because basically they’ve not been journalists. Um, my training was in journalism. I’ve been 26 years a journalist and er, to be a journalist

argues that you like meeting people to start with, and also you want to find out about them. So that’s the prerequisite. After that, I think there’s something else that comes into it, into play, and I think, again, most successful journalists have it—it’s a curious kind of affinity with people, it’s an ability to get on with people, it’s a kind of body wa rmth, if you like. If you knew the secret of it and could bottle it and sell it, you’d make a fortune.

Interviewer: When you’ve done an interview yourself, how do you feel whether it’s been a good interview or not a good interview?

Parkinson: I can never really tell, er, on air. I have to watch it back, because television depends so much on your director getting the right shot, the right reaction. You can’t; it’s amazing. Sometimes I think “Oh, that’s a boring interview” and just because of the way my direc tor shot it, and shot reaction, he’s composed a picture that’s made it far more interesting than it actually was.

Interviewer: How do you bring out the best in people, because you always seem to manage to, not only relax them, but somehow get right into the depths of them.

Parkinson: By research, by knowing, when you go into a television studio, more about the guest in front you than they’ve forgotten about themselves. And, I mean that’s pure research. I mean, you probably use…in a 20-minute interview, I probably use a 20th of the research
