Sir Terry Wogan 1938 to 2016

(By Guest Writer: Sandra Hudson)

BBC radio has lost a voice, Children in Need’s Pudsey have lost a friend, and the floral dance has lost its singer.

Over 50 years, Terry Wogan has made himself a household name via radio and television. And after Having been presented with a knighthood by the queen for his charity work he became Sir Terry Wogan.

He started out making a name for himself in Ireland where he was born, before coming over to England where he started out on radio 1 and finishing on radio 2 after moving into television. He came across as the type of person who didn’t worry if something was going to be perfect or not, and as a result, it was perfect.

His chat show had its ups and down yet he never seemed to let this get him down. He interviewed a wide range of known people from George best to Prince Philip, Maggie thatcher and many other celebrities.

He was the front man on Come Dancing, suffered at the hands of the front middle contestant in Blankety Blank where he had his mic bent by Kenny Everett, he was the presenter on Points of View and Aunties Bloomers, and exceled at commentating on the Eurovision Song Contest, spreading his entertaining words across Europe.

He appeared on numerous other shows as a guest, including: Would I Lie to You, Pointless, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and Top Gear driving the reasonably priced car.


So wake up to wogan! This is your life.
