    I hope you're not thinking of me in terms of your Mother! How old are you?

    I never listened to radio 4, but my childhood memories of him are fond and he was witty with the eurovision and it's never been the same since he stopped doing that. (in my opinion).

    The biology would be impossible.
    I'm old enough to be your older brother.
    Wogan was a fine and talented broadcaster and presenter.
    I found the Eurovision coverage had too much of laugh at the Continentals and their funny songs.
    We had Marty Whelan (or Terry Wogan lite;-) here adopting much the same attitude and in the little I've seen, Norton continues in the same vein.

    Norton goes too far for me. It feels like you're entertaining the school bully the way he does it, but with Wogan it was so quick and witty, if you didn't listen properly you might miss it and that is what made it funny. It didn't feel like he discriminated to me, as it felt like it was the 'action' he was taking the P out of and not the country. Everyone was fair game.

    I guess it was a formula that worked and they have tried to replicate it, but not with success. It was the man himself that made it work.

    An absolute gentleman both on TV/Radio and in real life. Highly intelligent and observant, Terry had a wonderful, ascerbic type of wit. Look up "Never mind the Buzzcocks" on the BBC i player to truly appreciate his comedic genius.

    Ohhh, btw........ Hi Kate, long time no speak. Was taking a bit of a hiatus but normal service is now resumed.
