We're very sad to hear of the passing of Sir Michael Parkinson at the age of 88.
Sir Michael, a former journalist was one of British television's most famous faces through his talk show Parkinson, which initially ran on the BBC from 1971 to 1982.

He relaunched the show on the BBC in 1998 before it moved to ITV in 2004, remaining on air until he retired the programme in 2007.

Over more than 800 episodes, he interviewed some of the world's most high-profile figures - including Muhammad Ali, Kerry Packer, Sir Elton John and George Michael - and helped make comedian Sir Billy Connolly a household name.

R.I.P Sir Michael!

*****MOVIE TICKET GIVEAWAY******
Thanks to StudioCanal, we have 10 double passes to give away to Steven Spielberg's latest film "The Fablemans" - in cinemas January 5, 2023.

Be quick - entries close Sunday December 11 at 9pm.
This giveaway is open to all NSW residents. Please read T's & C's before entering https://vintagefm.com.au/win/

The Fabelmans is an American coming-of-age drama film directed by Steven Spielberg and written and produced by Tony Kushner and Spielberg. It is a semi-autobiographical story loosely based on Spielberg's adolescence and first years as a director, told through an original story of the fictional Sammy Fabelman, a young aspiring filmmaker who explores how the power of films can help him see the truth about his dysfunctional family and those around him.
The film features an ensemble cast that includes Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy, with Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, and Judd Hirsch in supporting roles. It is dedicated to the memories of Spielberg's real-life parents Arnold Spielberg, who died in 2020, and Leah Adler, who died in 2017.
