Terry Wogan

[Caran]

Just watched this programme on his career, I loved the man, I actually cried when he died. I feel bereft after watching this.

[andy-hughes]

I'm sorry it made you sad Caran.

My loathing and contempt for him used to crop up regularly on here, but this is not the place.

[Mamyalynne]

But you got it in regardless Andy, classy!

He had a lot of fans Caran I know that x

[gness]

Didn’t see the programme, Caran. Liked him too and loved his sense of humour.

[Buenchico]

Fond memories ;-)

[Caran]

I've got that CD. It's brilliant.

[royfromaus]

Didn't see it but they mention...


Who knows what hellish future lies ahead?
Actually I do, I've seen the rehearsals.


Loved his Eurovision comments.

[Lie-in King]

I liked him as well - Janet & John was so funny.

[Patsy33]

Loved listening to him on the radio. Loved his sense of humour.
Still can't believe he has gone..

[andy-hughes]

Calm down mamya, he was a 'personality' not The Second Coming.

People are entitled not to think he was all that because he trousered eight grand a time for Children In Need when every single other individual involved gave their time for free.

But you really don't have to voice your opinion of him on this thread, Andy.
Terry did donate his fees to the charity and actively raised a lot of money for CIN over the years.

[emmie]

not my cup of tea if i am honest.

[Mozz71]

I was a long time TOG. Morning radio hasn't been the same since he left us.

[Spicerack]

I always envisage you as being roughly in your 30's, mozz. Don't know why.
Obviously not.

I first encountered him in 1972 on the radio and found him highly entertaining, brightening up my daily commute no end.

But later on TV I felt he became the victim of his own success and got over-exposed (oooh, Matron) to his detriment (mainly I think because of the appalling Blankety Blank ). "Familiarity breeds contempt" probably applies here unfortunately.

He was much better on things like Eurovision Song Contest where his easy style and gentle banter really resonated for me.

[naomi24]

I liked Terry with his twinkly, gentle sense of humour. Hopefully I can still watch this.

AH, your capacity to hate is extraordinary.

[murraymints]

I miss him too

[LadyCG]

I used to love his wit on Eurovision. Not that I ever watched that tripe... honest...

[murraymints]

"never drink before the 7th act" I believe his Eurovision mantra was !! lol

[LadyCG]

Haha :-)

[Hopkirk]

I didn't have a dislike for him, but didn't find him in the least bit entertaining.

Each to their own, I suppose.

I remember he didn't donate his Children in Need appearance fees to charity until the tabloids exposed his hypocrisy.
