Let’s not forget that #TerryWogan also narrated the bizarre Stoppit and Tidyup:

Stoppit And Tidyup - Episode 1 - Beequiet And Beehave

Hidden away in the colourful land of Do-As-You're-Told live Stoppit and Tidyup. Although they have their squabbles, Stoppit and Tidyup are really the best of friends. Join them in 13 halarious encounters with characters such as Wash Your Face, Comb Your Hair and big bad I Said No!

Nice BBC feature on smutty inuendo, and just how the wonderful #TerryWogan got away with those Janet & John stories:

Terry Wogan: The art of innuendo in Janet and John

Terry Wogan had millions of listeners in hysterics with his innuendo-filled version of the Janet and John children's stories.

Bill Gates deserves his money.

Here's a fantastic 1990s TV throwback starring our beloved Terry Wogan interviewing a young Bill Gates.

Thanks for sharing that. I doubt we'd see such warm, measured and 'safe' conversation today on the BBC for certain but most broadcast media. The late & very dear #TerryWogan being his national treasure self. There was truly something refreshing seeing that this morning. 🥰🙏👑

Born 3 Aug 1938, radio and TV broadcaster, #TerryWogan, is remembered for his long career with the BBC. For over 15 years, his weekday breakfast programme, Wake Up to Wogan, drew in millions of listeners. At the peak of his career, he was probably the most listened-to radio broadcaster in Europe.
