You'd have to be a sad, bitter **** of a person to not like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikenbass Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 [quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1454241202' post='2967726'] Who doesn't like him? You'd have to be a sad, bitter **** of a person to not like him. [/quote] I didn't. He demanded payment for Children In Need when all others gave their time for free. He shamelessly plugged artists and bands he had an interest in on his radio show. Sorry for any offence taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] A bit out of order I would say. How many bands would not have made it if John Peel had not "shamelessly plugged artists and bands he had an interest in" ?

bassace Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Strange, isn't it, how people who have a bit of a neg reputation turn out to be quite pleasant and those all round good eggs have issues. Except of course Savile who we should have known was a bastard from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I guess that his fee would have been worth it as he was one of the few presenters that was high profile and seemingly universally liked, and could get you to part with your money. You could also say that the people who did it for free were shamelessly plugging themselves on such a high profile show, which I would imagine the free publicity would outweigh the potential future earnings. I wouldn`t hold that against them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give it him for the first one and never stopped. they said they weren't ashamed of it, saw no reason to hide it and wouldn't stop. It came out of the Beebs money not Children in Needs. He didn't demand it. Plus if those two things are the only things that make him an horrible person then most people are Hitler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Ah man Terry Wogan was excellent - a proper broadcasting legend. I loved his whole Janet and John thing he used to do. Brilliant. Gutted he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatback Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Nobody who knew him had a bad word to say. Seems he was as decent a bloke as he appeared to be. Edited January 31, 2016 by fatback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
