I’ve just listened to the Dog Show and feel quite weak with laughter. 🐶🐶🐶🐶

Oh yes, I listened to that one yesterday 😂

My mascara is running my DH wonders why I am almost hysterical 😂 I’ll never hear a church organ again without thinking of Janet and John and dear TW.

On to the next one.

Iam64 I recently listened to Julian reading his novel ‘Briefs Encountered’ on Audible.
Highly recommended if you are a fan, and especially so if you are also a fan Noel Coward

I love Julian Cleary - definitely awful innuendo but somehow he makes me lol

I’ve been listening to the Janet and John stories on u tube too (thanks for the link). Hilarious.
I think Terry was one of the best.

I love innuendo. I am off to find the one with the church organ.

But so funny Aveline & Callistemon I don't find myself laughing out loud at most of today's comedians as I did with Terry.

That was a good memory for me annsixty what's the recipe today Jim ?

I think innuendo is still a very common form of comedy, Julian Clary, etc

All the Janet and John stories were appalling innuendo. Wait till you hear the one about John and the church organ!

I'm waiting for someone to come along in a minute to tell us how disgusting and childish we all are!

In the meantime I'll listen to the one about the church organ 😁

Innuendo anyone?

I listened while I set my classroom up. My TA used to come in just to listen for a bit. Anyone remember the posties' elastic bands? TOG&G for ever!

I don't remember Janet and John, but used to drive to work around the period when Shogun was on the TV with Richard Chamberlain. Terry's references to it were hilarious.

I recently watched some repeats of him hosting Blankety Blank, which I loved, and was surprised to find myself cringing at his touching of the young women contestants. Just shows how times change!

Bury St Edmunds not to praise him...

I loved the chat between Terry and Jimmy when they were changing over.
I am now off to listen to Janet and John.

A calm relaxed manner. Plus a sense of humour is always useful.

Can I also mention what a brilliant interviewer he was. Last Autumn they showed a compilation of his TV interviews introduced by a much older Terry Wogan some years later. So we were looking back at him looking back. I had forgotten how well he handled his guests and how he kept the tone light. He never ogled or flirted with the women like Parkinson (who was often leery) and seemed to handle anything thrown at him.

As we know, some guests can be difficult, but he was never fazed. Just watch how he handles a very unexpected Nicholas Cage:

Happy memories annesixty 🙂

Thank you Aveline for telling me about them, they are delightful.
In 1965/6 two friends and I all had small children, babies in fact.
Once a month we would visit one of our small group for the day.
We would try as much as we could to make lunch from the spot on Jimmy Young’s morning show when a “chipmonkey “ voice would ask”What’s the recipe today Jim?”
Those were very very happy years and a wonderful memory.
Still friends today.

He used to get me to work with a smile too. Miss that gentle humour.

It’s interesting that we have a wide variety of ages on this thread, and yet we all listened to Wogan and loved him.

In fact, I remember listening to him on the way to school in my dad’s car when I was about 8, and also on the way to work in my 30s and 40s.

I can’t imagine that Zoe Ball has a following like that.

annesixty glad you enjoyed the Janet and John stories. Imagine how it felt hearing them at eight o'clock in the morning!

That's cheered me up
