Parky lines up Beckham, Sir Michael Caine and Dame Judi Dench for his FINAL show

Michael Parkinson has handpicked a stunning line-up of stars to interview on the last episode of his chat show.

The 72-year-old�'s guests will include David Beckham, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Michael Caine, Dame Edna Everage and Sir David Attenborough.

Billy Connolly, who first appeared on Parkinson over 30 years ago and has appeared on the programme more than any other guest, and Peter Kay - who once earned his living as the comedy warm-up act to the show - will also be interviewed by the �King of Chat�.

Although the show is technically Parkinson�'s penultimate broadcast, his final show will not feature any live studio guests and is instead a personal retrospective of his 40-year career.

Talking about his star-studded line-up, Parkinson said: "They are friends who have made a particular contribution to the show. They are also people of great talent and interest - and what a wonderful way to finish.�"

The penultimate episode of Parkinson will be aired on Saturday, December 15 on ITV1.
