I'm enjoying *Parkinson: Masterclass*, Sir Michael's latest interview series on Sky Arts 1. As well as exploring the nature of artistic talent in unusual depth, Parky's balance of cheek and charm – Mrs Merton crossed with James Bond – means he can get away with asking the kind of personal questions that would seem intrusive on, say, Piers Morgan's Life Stories. Last night's guest, the street urchin-turned-illusionist Dynamo made for a particularly good show, as these two Yorkshire lads collaborated to unravel the contrast of ordinary bloke and extraordinary talent.
