Big Al’s tribute to Sir Terry Wogan

BBC TV and radio broadcaster, Sir Terry Wogan passed away on Sunday, 31st January 2016, aged 77 from cancer after a short illness.

Sir Terry was born in Limerick, Ireland, and worked for the BBC for most of his career. He was best known for his weekday breakfast programme, “Wake Up To Wogan” during which he was ably assisted by newsreader “Deadly” Alan Dedicoat, Fran Godfrey and John “Boggy” Marsh. One of the regular features of the show included the “Janet and John” stories. Sir Terry finally retired from his breakfast programme in 2009.

Sir Terry was also known for his work with “Children In Need”, “The Eurovision Song Contest” and for his TV chat show “What’s On With Wogan”.

SUSY presenter and Chairman, ALAN FRENCH spoke with the chairman of community radio station Uckfield FM, MIKE SKINNER. Like many of those who are involved in radio broadcasting now, both Alan and Mike started out on hospital radio, and Sir Terry was the Patron of the Hospital Broadcasting Association for many years.

Mike recalls with Alan an occasion when he “sat in” on one of Sir Terry’s breakfast programmes:
