Terry Wogan gone ....

[screenman]

Put many hours of smiling on my face that is for certain, sadly missed by us here that is for sure.

What a shame, I thought he was older than 77 to be honest.

I remember when I was in my mid thirties and someone suggested I listen to the R2 breakfast show, I'm glad I took their advice.

Travelling to work whilst listening to Terry somehow made it less of a chore.

RIP Terry, you'll be missed.

Because he worked in 'light entertainment' I don't think he has got the credit he deserves as a communicator and performer. His ability to hold an audiance, his comic timing, professionalism, fast thinking and empathy should be celebrated.

 

[Gatters]

Very sad to hear this news, He was a heck of a funny guy...a national treasure indeed

 

[DaveGM]

Hid breakfast show was just brilliant.

Sad news indeed

 

[I like Skol]

Very sad. Loved listening to his radio breakfast show from my mid twenties as a professional driver and would often be in stitches at the wheel as a result of the humour he so skilfully shared. He made it all seem so spontaneous and effortless but I'm sure he worked incredibly hard behind the scenes. Would often just have to sit in my van to hear the end of a story when arriving at a customers premises.
Mornings just weren't the same when he finally stopped his breakfast show.....

.... the Eurovision Song Contest wasn't worth watching after Terry ceased to host it. Some may argue it wasn't worth watching when he did host it... but his charm, wit and sarcasm made that show. I'll have to dig out my 7" of The Floral Dance and give it a spin.

Very sad. RIP Sir Terry.

 

[Levo-Lon]

I was a Tog 20 yrs too early..loved his radio 2 morning show..i cant listen to his replacemet.
RIP Sir Terry..you were a star

Always reminds me of going to work with my dad. His humour was soft, gentle, self effacing. Few could have got away with Janet and John, but you trusted Terry not to go too far. His Eurovision commentaries were legendary.
A great talent sorely missed.

I think his peers did

When you look at the people who chose Terry's show to make big announcements

Also the way he handled things was superb, and it was almost as if he was a close friend rather than an interviewer

His dry wit will be missed.
