That her nickname for husband david was goldenballs in 2001. 0ur arts correspondent David Sillito looks back at his life. Dont you get fed up of each other . Oh, yes, yes. I call him golden balls, you know, now. Did you ever say, you dirty rat . Never. Jimmy cagney. Orson welles. Jimmy stewart. These were distant, mysterious screen gods until parkinson brought them into your living room. The fact is that youre a crowd puller and frazier s not, is he . Why is that .

A big part of his success was the fact that his chat show was never an opportunity for him to show off, but for his guests to always take centre stage, allowing space to reveal a deeper truth about themselves.
