Yes he was a top bloke, good radio and TV presenter et. etc., BUT - it's all gone a bit Prncess Diana-ish. Wasn't there a long tribute on Radio 2 last week too? Now this on BBC1.. The cynic in me says that it's a good cheap way to fill air time for the BBC.. A tribute was deserved; just not an OTT one.

Is there a reason these tributes are happening now? I'm not trying to be a dick and there's no doubting his legacy, but it was January when he died.

Isn't it 50 years since he first appeared on BBC?

Anyway, I heard a bit of the R2 tribute. TBH, it was a bit self-indulgent. Were it someone with a similar body of work who had not been a BBC employee there's no way they would have had the tributes etc

Ah, that might explain it!

I suppose it's all passed me by a bit because I never really saw him as a hero or an influence. On the other hand I was genuinely gutted to hear Bruce Dickinson had throat cancer, whilst my friends and family don't even know who he is, the philistines!

Different strokes I suppose.

Yes

Complete and utter nobbery, BBC luvvies trying to cling onto past glories. Had it not been mentioned here it would have passed me by; as it was mentioned I had a search online. In fact it is prickery. Which is beyond nobbery, in case anyone was in doubt...

Mourning sickness is a bit endemic these days. I grew up listening to him / watching him on the telly, and it was particularly sad for me, when he passed away.

The BBC do seem to like sucking their own c^cks. So prickery is probably a pretty accurate description!
I did like Wogan but have said to my wife if god forbid she ever catches me listening to Radio bloody 2 to take me to Dignitas sharpish!

BBC Radio 1, 2, 3 & 4 all first aired on this day, 30th September, in 1967.

I enjoyed it. I loved Terry Wogan, he was the voice of my mornings for about as long as I can remember. My Mum used to listen to him when I was a kid, he was on the radio at work when I left school and I listened to him myself pretty soon after.
