Wogan: In His Own Words
Zoe Ball hosts an intimate interview with a wordsmith who entertained us with intelligence wit and warmth. Described as the master, this is a tribute and rare insight into his life.
In April 1972, Terry Wogan broadcast his first ever breakfast show on the 大象传媒. 50 years later, Radio 2 celebrates the anniversary of what became the UK's most listened to radio show from one of the best-loved broadcasters.
This special programme centres on a rare, intimate and previously unheard interview with Terry, recorded at the height of his fame in the 1980s. This recording has sat untouched in a dusty 大象传媒 vault for decades, and has never been broadcast until earlier this year. Terry talks at length about his family, his life choices and his work ethic. He also reflects on his television success from 'Come Dancing' to 'Blankety Blank' and some awkward beauty contests in between. Terry also shares his views on the fragility of fame and the anxiety that brings, being in the spotlight.
We bring Terry's words up-to-date through interviews with Terry's colleagues and friends, hearing their immediate reactions as they listen to this recording all these years later. We will also hear their memories of life with, and the wise advice and honest comment they received from, Terry.
Hosted by Zoe Ball, this special show is an intimate two hours about the wordsmith who entertained millions with his trademark, intelligence, wit and warmth. Described as the master of the national airwaves - this is his story and take on his life and career, heard in his own words.
Contributors include Dame Joanna Lumley, Dallas star Patrick Duffy, Gaby Roslin, Claudia Winkleman, Fearne Cotton, Scott Mills, Ken Bruce, Dermot O'Leary, Chris Moyles, Greg James and Michael Ball.
This extended version, includes more from Terry鈥檚 in-depth conversation, longer clips from the Brighton outside broadcast and extra contributions from former 大象传媒 Director General Greg Dyke, 'Blankety Blank' guest Lorraine Chase and excerpts from his successor Chris Evans, paying tribute, at the Westminster Abbey Service Of Thanksgiving for the life and work of Sir Terry Wogan in September 2016.
