I don’t take newspapers so which one is running this ?
I think Billy Connolly is a very funny man and this is sad I wish the blooming press would leave people alone

Parkinson is an a**e, anything to get back in the news. Connolly should be remembered as the hilarious comedian he was, not as a Parkinson's victim. My sympathy is with his wife and family who would probably prefer to be allowed to cope in peace and quiet and not have the press pack trying to grab a photo or a story.

Oh, that is so sad.

The first time that Billy Connolly came to my notice was on Parkinson almost 50 years ago I think.

I still laugh out loud at the joke he told on there. Impossibly un pc now but still really funny.

I think it is terrible that Michael Parkinson is now in every newspaper telling the world that Billy Bonnolly cannot recognise people because of the progress of his Parkinsons disease . Ironic really the name of the disease but so cruel to make a big thing of someone ( who was a friend ) elses illness
