bruce parry speaking to the independent
When Parry isn't making television, he goes home, to Ibiza, where he bought a house two years ago. The island suits a man who grew up straighter than a regimental sabre, but who has now found a more free-thinking side to his personality. "One of the biggest things I have learnt from travelling is tolerance," he says. "Ibiza is a place that tolerates."
Parry says he needed his home in the Mediterranean because it allows him a "global conversation" around the dinner table. "I don't think I could have lived in rural England, where the only conversation you were going to have was about the badger that got ran over by the tractor. I am aware, in saying that, that I sound terrible. I'm fully aware that I'm living a privileged life."
does he sound terrible or is it senile dementia?
