Terry Wogan gone ....

[Beebo]

[QUOTE 4133378, member: 45"]It was when I saw him host Never Mind the Buzzcocks that I realised how talented he was. In a completely alien environment and a culture he knew little of he was able to do more than hold the show together but to lead it and engage with the audience and contestants. And he was very funny.[/QUOTE]

Enjoy! He seems to be having fun and the panelists all respect him.
He even has a go at David Bowie towards the end, suggesting he was not easy to interview.

I never really 'got' Terry.

He was good at his job no doubt, professional, and amusing and in real life I expect he was quite a nice bloke.
It's shame he's died and for those who enjoyed his presenting style he will be missed I'm sure. I wouldn't avoid him but for me he rarely added much.

Terry Wogan was very clever with words. who else would talk of Darth Veda as Daft Ada brilliantly funny - may the birds of paradise fly up your nose.

Very much my sentiments, I couldn't listen to him on the radio, he wasn't my idea of a DJ

I always struggle accepting the vanity of wig wearers. This is said from someone folically challenged and proud.

A syrup wearer ? I never knew.

Sad news, RIP Sir Terry.

Tribute, of a sort.... His less well known shout outs to Sout' London Yoot...

I always thought that the beauty of that was that one could *almost* see the real Wogan doing something similar.

That's sad. Some of his 'Janet and John' stories were superb. On his last R2 breakfast show I'm not quite sure how he got away with it. 100% filth!

Definitely the equal of 'Fat Harry White', with Mark & Lard (Radcliffe & Marc Riley, respectively)

Wealthy, poor, talented, simple, handsome, ugly, tall, small: we will all go one day. Death is the only thing that makes us equal.
Sorry about Terry, that was a shock when I found out at lunch time but we all know people close to us who share the same fate; they just don't make the news but are missed just as much.

Definitely one of this worlds nice people and excellent at what he did. Well and truly respected RIP Terry Wogan.

Telegraph obit is nasty and petty and goes on about his alleged five wigs, which sounds completely made up.

When Terry heard his kids were getting grief at school cos people found out who their dad was he said "Whatever they say about me, agree with them". Which is lovely advice and very un-assuming.
