Nicholas Parsons

Nicholas Parsons (born October 10, 1928) is a British actor, radio and television presenter.

Parsons made his film debut in 1947, but first became well known to TV audiences during the 1950s as the straight man to comedian, Arthur Haynes. After Haynes' sudden death, Parsons went on to appear as a personality in his own right, his fame culminating in the long-running game show, Sale of the Century.

Parsons has been the emcee for BBC's Radio 4 show Just A Minute since 1968. In the New Year's Honours List of 2003, he was awarded an OBE by the Queen.
