About this title

Synopsis

A collection of Terry Wogan's best Telegraph columns, with his trademark wry take on life. This book will be a collection of Terry Wogan's best columns from the past 10 years, delivering his distinctively dry and amusing views on life. Terry's weekly writing has spanned across many topics—from the disappointment of the declining years, TV cooks ("Nowadays, you can't throw a stone in a country road without hitting a television chef, in full color") and vanity, through to the little annoyances that drive you to drink—and never fails to entertain. His modern grumbles, gentle social commentary, and witty observations make for a delightful assortment of reading. Terry Wogan is among Britain's best-loved and most popular entertainers. His extensive television credits include BBC Children in Need, The Eurovision Song Contest, Come Dancing and Blankety Blank, to name but a few. Terry presented Wake Up to Wogan on BBC Radio 2, which ran for 27 years and regularly attracted over 8 million listeners; it became the most-listened to breakfast show in the UK. In a moment of weakness Her Majesty the Queen honored him with a knighthood in 2005.

About the Author

Sir Terry Wogan went into banking after leaving college, and five years later he joined RTE as a newsreader/announcer. In 1969 Terry stood in for BBC Radio's Jimmy Young, and later that year was given his own daily shows on BBC Radio 1 and 2. In 1972 he took over the prestigious morning show slot, and it's been downhill since then. Terry's extensive television credits include his live chat show series Wogan, The Eurovision Song Contest, and Come Dancing, to name but a few. In a moment of weakness, the Queen honored him with a knighthood in 2005.
