leschirons Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just heard. Sad news. And apart from a run in with the tax-man, seems to have kept his nose clean over his whole career too. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I liked Terry Wogan. He was the polar opposite of pretty much everything I look for in a broadcaster/presenter, but he was just so damn likeable. And as I posted previously, Piers Morgan is still alive.

NickD Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think the most respectful thing would be to bury the Euro vision song contest with him! Seriously though, one hell of a career, and always really engaging. A real loss. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Intelligent and underrated imho, even given his great success. 'TV contracts and imagination and radio expands it'. RIP, Tel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Such an important man in the UK music industry, broke hundreds of records and bands - his was one of the few shows that had any real impact on sales for many years. Can this post be merged into General Discussion, as that is where he deserves to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthedog Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Okay, enoughs enough. Musicians, celebrities and general good people of my time as a yoof, just stop dying for the time being please. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 What a first month of this year, another well known person leaving us. He will be sadly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 My Mum used to love his show back in the sixties. His laid back wit was such a refreshing change from all the zany radio 1 DJ's, or the stuffy old fogies on R 2. I first heard Fleet Foxes on his show in the noughties. What a career!

Urban Bassman Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just heard it on the news,quite a shock. Only 77' no age these days. His "Janet and John" stories were very funny. Another sad day. RIP Sir Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I recall (with a grin) that he played Peter Sarstedts 'take off your clothes' in error (I was there, I did hear it). Thus propelling said artist off the airwaves almost indefinitely......... Terry will be greatly missed, he was an icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planer Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just woken up to this (yes, I know what time it is!) - Sir Tel was a staple of my morning for so many years, I feel like I've lost a favorite uncle. Funny, silly, kind and sincere; loved him. So sad he has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike f Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Really sad news. He made me laugh both man and boy. When I was a kid I used to listen to him on the radio before going to school, and the songs I always associate with him and then, and will listen to today, are Paul Simon's Slip Sliding Away and Hoyt Axton's Della and the Dealer. Years later he had me in stiches, laughing out loud, tears in my eyes, on the District Line on my way to work in Fulham. More tears today. What a man. RIP Sir Terry Wogan.
