Sir Terry Wogan bids farewell to show
« on: December 18, 2009, 21:37 »
Sir Terry Wogan has hosted his last Radio 2 breakfast show after 27 years presenting the programme.

As the programme came to an end, the 71-year-old said: "The years together with you have not only been a pleasure but a privilege."  Prime Minister Gordon Brown paid an on-air tribute to the veteran DJ, saying he had "shaped the popular imagination of British viewers and listeners".  Sir Terry will begin hosting a new Sunday show from February.

Quite sad, really.  I enjoyed listening to him in the mornings, and will especially miss the Janet and John stories.

I was never a fan and much prefer Today on Radio 4.
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is readily adopted.

If it wasn't for Wogan, I'd have never discovered Eva Cassidy.  :)

Has he nothing more important to say other than to talk about overpaid entertainers  ::)
He commented on Susan Boyle too for f***s sake.

Doesnt he know that we are under threat from mass uncontrolled immigration or that as a nation we are bankrupt and the silly pillock is giving billions away in foreign aid to people who would happily kill us all, while our pensioners are having to choose between eating and heating their homes  >:(

I confess to being a fan of Wogan's radio shows but not his TV performances.  Chris Evans is to replace him so I won't be tuning in to Radio 2 Breakfast any more!

Oh, I will tune in, out of curiosity, but I've made up my mind I won't like Chris Evans.  ;D

Be careful as he might grow on you.  Best not to listen at all!   :D

There's little else, other than the dire commercial radio stations.  :(

In that case, get an MP3 player and I'll run up some mood-oriented playlists for you. ;D
