:00:31. > :00:39.Hello, it's coming up to 7 o'clock. What better time to celebrate
:00:40. > :00:42.the man who spent 50 years entertaining us on
:00:43. > :00:48.television and radio. Yes, this was Sir Terry Wogan's slot
:00:49. > :00:51.and we're proud to be sharing it with him tonight, taking things
:00:52. > :00:55.slowly, as he was wont to do, and revelling in his
:00:56. > :00:59.work and his wit. Joining us are people who were lucky
:01:00. > :01:01.enough to work with him - our friend Chris Evans,
:01:02. > :01:05.who had the impossible task of taking over his radio show.
:01:06. > :01:09.Graham Norton, another great talent who followed
:01:10. > :01:12.in his footsteps on Eurovision. Alan Dedicoat and Lynne Bowles,
:01:13. > :01:14.his on-air wingman and woman, who bantered away many
:01:15. > :01:17.an early morning together. And later Sue Cook, who presented
:01:18. > :01:20.Children in Need alongside Sir Terry for 11 years.
:01:21. > :01:26.So welcome to you all. It's good to see you.
:01:27. > :01:31.APPLAUSE. It's a shame on such a sad day, but what a collection of people
:01:32. > :01:34.we have. I know, Chris, would have been absolutely knocked sideways by
:01:35. > :01:40.the news yesterday morning. Where were you and when did you hear the
:01:41. > :01:44.news of Sir Terry's passing this I woke up yesterday morning to a
:01:45. > :01:50.message from our boss at Radio 2, Bob Shennan. It was a voice message.
:01:51. > :01:54.Message. I was asleep and he said, can you please call me back
:01:55. > :01:59.urgently, there's something you need to know. So I called him back and he
:02:00. > :02:04.told me. It was a quarter past 8. And with that, so many memories must
:02:05. > :02:10.flash before you. If there was one, we are going to be talking for an
:02:11. > :02:15.hour about this, so don't feel the pressure, but if there was one vivid
:02:16. > :02:20.memory that you have of Sir Terry what would it be? There are so many.
:02:21. > :02:25.And today, the last 24 hours have taught me more about life than the
:02:26. > :02:30.last 24 years. I knew Terry relatively well. Graham knew him
:02:31. > :02:41.well, "Deadly" and Lynn better than we did. I met him 25 years ago-ish.
:02:42. > :02:46.He took he under his wing. I didn't deserve it, I was an eejit as he
:02:47. > :02:51.would have said. Wayward. When I was on Radio 1 he was on Radio 2. He
:02:52. > :02:55.invited me to his studio to break the bread and then very quickly
:02:56. > :02:59.after that he said look, we do wake up half the nation every morning,
:03:00. > :03:04.why don't we get together one day and chat about that a bit? He
:03:05. > :03:10.invited me to have a game of golf with him, which was brilliant to
:03:11. > :03:16.play golf with Terry Wogan, the man who holds the record for the
:03:17. > :03:21.longsest telesides putt. I went to his house. You know when you imagine
:03:22. > :03:28.somebody's house and it is never how you want it to be, but this was
:03:29. > :03:32.exactly, big gates, crunching gravel. Have you been? No. I
:03:33. > :03:37.thought, I must play well today. But we weren't going to play golf
:03:38. > :03:42.straight away because we were going to have lunch, and before lunch we
:03:43. > :03:49.had a drink. A bottle of pink champagne. I thought, here we go.
:03:50. > :03:54.Within an hour it had gone and Lady Helen had made a pre-prepared lunch,
:03:55. > :03:59.because she was off to play bridge. We finished lunch at 2 or 3, at
:04:00. > :04:03.which point I couldn't remember the game of golf, and we had another
:04:04. > :04:09.game of golf. We got to the 11th hole out of 18. He said, I think
:04:10. > :04:16.Christie, we had better wrap it up after this one. I said, yes, it is
:04:17. > :04:21.getting rather dark, and he said no, we've got dinner booked at 8
:04:22. > :04:27.o'clock. And it got to half ten and we had to be up to do our shows the
:04:28. > :04:31.next day. I thought, we had better go now. I didn't want to call an
:04:32. > :04:37.early night. He said, Christie, what's the matter now? I said, we've
:04:38. > :04:43.got to get ready to do our show. He said, what time do you get up? I
:04:44. > :04:48.said, half four. He said you are not on until half six. He said they
:04:49. > :04:56.either like you or they don't. And that's the best thing I've -- heard
:04:57. > :05:00.about broadcasting. The more you hear about him... He always had time
:05:01. > :05:04.for people after the show, time for his pals, time for the team, and
:05:05. > :05:09.time on the radio and on telly, like you said. That's why he could be so
:05:10. > :05:14.funny, because he gave himself time to think about things and listen to
:05:15. > :05:21.things and orchestrate and use that wit and vocabulary that he had. What
:05:22. > :05:27.about you Graham? I love that Sir Terry Wogan was the one leaving you
:05:28. > :05:34.astray. For me it was how funny he was. I remember him laughing like a
:05:35. > :05:37.drain when he did the round-ups of what happened in Dallas the night
:05:38. > :05:41.before, or the Janet and John stories. And the things you didn't
:05:42. > :05:47.appreciate fully at the time. The way he used language, the words he
:05:48. > :05:55.would use. We had never heard the word ginormous before he said it. He
:05:56. > :05:58.was very well read Weirdly always prepared in that way, because he
:05:59. > :06:02.knew where he wanted to take things and what have you, so he was
:06:03. > :06:06.prepared in his own way even if at this time looked like he didn't want
:06:07. > :06:11.to do a lot of prep. This is your The One Show, so if you have ever
:06:12. > :06:16.met Sir Terry, please share your pictures. We would love to see them.
:06:17. > :06:19.We'll show some later. As well as everything else Sir Terry made many
:06:20. > :06:23.television documentaries. One of the most recent was when he toured the
:06:24. > :06:28.UK in a black cab in search of the best British food. His driver was
:06:29. > :06:36.Mason McQueen and he was out and about early this morning in search
:06:37. > :06:42.of more memories of the great man. The first stop memory lane,ester and
:06:43. > :06:47.your fondest memories of Sir Terry. The first night of the first
:06:48. > :06:51.Children In Need, we were facing ten hours of live television. And
:06:52. > :06:55.autocue broke. It could have been a disaster with anyone else, but of
:06:56. > :07:01.course Terry, as you know, loved unscripted. He loved mistakes. We
:07:02. > :07:08.just bantered. There was no feeling of fear on my part because I had
:07:09. > :07:14.unflappable T Wogan next to me. When I first met him I came home and my
:07:15. > :07:20.wife Sid, you're talking like Terry Wogan! I said, am I? A slight Irish
:07:21. > :07:25.Liberal Democrat. I had been around him all day. He had this effect on
:07:26. > :07:32.you. I remember he was a guest on Top Gear and you realised how sharp
:07:33. > :07:36.he was, he was so funny. I wasn't going all out. You can say that
:07:37. > :07:43.again! I don't normally get affected by this sort of news. You hear of a
:07:44. > :07:48.celebrity's passing but this time it's been quite depressing. Tell us
:07:49. > :07:53.all you know about Mr T? The mornings in the radio studio,
:07:54. > :07:56.listening you would laugh, but off air you would end up helpless with
:07:57. > :08:00.laughter sometimes. It is a fantastic day to start the day
:08:01. > :08:03.either as a listener or a colleague. How many people get to laugh first
:08:04. > :08:08.thing in the morning as part of their work? And we did. It was
:08:09. > :08:15.fantastic fun. Whenever I think about it I just smile. Exactly, and
:08:16. > :08:19.that's how he would want us now. I used to watch that programme,
:08:20. > :08:26.Blankety Blank, the chequebook and pen. We didn't get television until
:08:27. > :08:29.later on in our teenage years, so Blankety Blank was the big one
:08:30. > :08:35.there. My mother lived for that show. You would be proud to be
:08:36. > :08:42.seeing an Irishman making it over here and doing well. Everybody
:08:43. > :08:49.seemed to love him. Are you a fan of Terry Wogan? Of course, I've been a
:08:50. > :08:54.fan of his for years. I like Eurovision but I like tuning in to
:08:55. > :09:00.hear what Terry says. This is my favourite bit because I was reared
:09:01. > :09:05.on diddly d diction music. When somebody was silly or not good, the
:09:06. > :09:13.to hear what serry would say about it. This will win. How are you? I'm
:09:14. > :09:19.sad. It is like that isn't it, but he wouldn't want us to be sad,
:09:20. > :09:25.Gabby. I know, I did my radio show yesterday and everyone said, how can
:09:26. > :09:29.you do it? If Terry was there he would say, what do you think you're
:09:30. > :09:34.doing? Just entertain. He didn't take it too serious did he? No, but
:09:35. > :09:38.the only thing he took seriously was his love of his family. I think
:09:39. > :09:42.everybody is talking about their wonderful memories of him, and
:09:43. > :09:46.people who knew him and worked with him. But it is his family. My heart
:09:47. > :09:53.is breaking for the family. He adored his family. They came first,
:09:54. > :09:58.Helen and the kids came first. APPLAUSE. Do you know... So many
:09:59. > :10:02.people are saying how they feel that we forget there's a family at the
:10:03. > :10:06.core of it and are really going through it. Of course, and everybody
:10:07. > :10:11.feels so much shock across the nation. You really can't imagine.
:10:12. > :10:17.Alan, let's have a word about how you ended up working with Sir Terry.
:10:18. > :10:22.You read the news, 15 years you did it? More than 15 years I gave to
:10:23. > :10:27.that man. How did it start? We had a team of about ten and we wanted it
:10:28. > :10:32.whittled down to a few so we could build up a relationship with him.
:10:33. > :10:38.One of my favourite stories of great man is on one occasion I did get
:10:39. > :10:40.invited to the house. And it is a lovely place, a nice gaffe. We were
:10:41. > :10:48.going to the mad escy lovely place, a nice gaffe. We were
:10:49. > :10:54.going to the mad -- Madejski stadium to watch rugby. Rugby. Rugby. My aim
:10:55. > :10:59.is to hoover up the food generally, but I was standing in his lounge. It
:11:00. > :11:04.was very lived in. I was looking down the garden on a wet, miserable
:11:05. > :11:08.Saturday morning. Morning. I remember seeing this grey object at
:11:09. > :11:14.the end of the garden. I said, what is the that there, is it a Wendy
:11:15. > :11:21.house for the kids? He leaned over and said, it's Windsor Castle. And
:11:22. > :11:28.it was! His house backs on to Windsor Castle. But it was by royal
:11:29. > :11:32.appointment, because the Queen did listen. And Lynn, you joined up a
:11:33. > :11:37.little bit later. I was about the last five years with you guys on
:11:38. > :11:41.air. I had been five years behind the scenes but I think Terry was
:11:42. > :11:48.never one to prepare. This is going to come through, I feel, in this
:11:49. > :11:53.show. He knew the word rehearsal but didn't know how to put into it
:11:54. > :11:56.operation. He said, rehearse, rehearse, rehearse and then pull
:11:57. > :12:01.back. Forget the rehearsal. You do traffic and travel. Lots of people
:12:02. > :12:06.will be excited to see new the flesh this evening. Who are obviously
:12:07. > :12:11.crackers! But you worked closely with Terry. Closely with Chris and
:12:12. > :12:15.Ken. Presumably there's a different atmosphere or vibe for each of the
:12:16. > :12:21.three. Chris obviously horrendous every morning... Absolutely. You
:12:22. > :12:28.don't know how much I suffer. How was Terry? Ken is obviously my radio
:12:29. > :12:32.husband, but Sir Terry Wogan was just fantastic. He was the best guy
:12:33. > :12:37.you could ever work with. He was kind and generous. He was generous
:12:38. > :12:42.to a fault as a broadcaster. Not all broadcasters are. You will be
:12:43. > :12:47.surprised to learn. But he, if I said the clever thing to get us to
:12:48. > :12:51.finish a little skit, he would let me have it. He didn't need to top
:12:52. > :12:57.me, because he just wanted everyone to have a good time. If that
:12:58. > :13:02.finished it, fine, we would move on. Even that intonation that you have,
:13:03. > :13:08.when you talk to him you can't help but get on to that flow and the way
:13:09. > :13:14.he's. A beautiful voice. You never worried about him being a big star.
:13:15. > :13:20.He was just a good bloke. I think that's, you forget this was the
:13:21. > :13:24.first guy who presented in that way, that incredibly relaxed laid-back
:13:25. > :13:29.way, the way everyone aspires to do now. I think he came up with that,
:13:30. > :13:36.the idea of being that. It sounded like he was wearing a cardigan, not
:13:37. > :13:41.a suit. He is the first and only person I've ever been star struck
:13:42. > :13:45.with. I remember when I did an interview with him on Blue Peter. I
:13:46. > :13:51.couldn't believe that it was him there. I thought, and he made me
:13:52. > :13:55.feel so at ease. I thought, if I can get through this, I can talk to
:13:56. > :14:00.anybody. He was so magical. He said I will stay to the end of your
:14:01. > :14:06.filming, all the bits you need to do I'm here for you, don't worry. He
:14:07. > :14:11.knew if he was relaxed the show was relaxed. Listeners and viewers,
:14:12. > :14:15.there is nothing they like more than a relaxed conversation. It really
:14:16. > :14:20.works and communicates. Graham is right, he originated that. He was
:14:21. > :14:25.half a decade older than the Radio 1 lot when they started. So in '67 he
:14:26. > :14:31.was five or six years older, almost a generation older. He was never
:14:32. > :14:37.really a disc jockey. He was more of an observer really. He was
:14:38. > :14:41.intelligent and disk jockeys aren't, they are simpletons the, so he made
:14:42. > :14:52.us feel even more up to weed his wit. If we could have 10% of what he
:14:53. > :14:58.had, we would be 100% better. At RTE he was an announcer and a teacher.
:14:59. > :15:03.Terry once said, my opinion has the weight of a tonne of feathers but he
:15:04. > :15:11.meant that to be taken with a huge pinch of salt. And nobody knew more
:15:12. > :15:19.than him what made great radio. He started in 1967. At his peak Wake Up
:15:20. > :15:24.To Wogan had 871 million dump Wake Up To Wogan had 8.7 million
:15:25. > :15:29.listeners, although he said he only had one.
:15:30. > :15:34.The most important programme on any radio network is the morning show,
:15:35. > :15:38.the Breakfast Show, it identifies the network and it's at the time
:15:39. > :15:42.when people are more susceptible or more receptive, if you like, to what
:15:43. > :15:46.is going on. She's going to be singing live... Yeah... So you have
:15:47. > :15:49.to reflect, I think, what they are actually looking at or what they are
:15:50. > :15:55.listening to, or what they're involved with. Ten seconds, Terry...
:15:56. > :16:06.You're better off listening to Radio Two. You don't hear that very often,
:16:07. > :16:11.to you? Oh, sorry to talk to you while your mic is on and you're
:16:12. > :16:18.eating. I love raidy owe because I can impose my own timing on it. And
:16:19. > :16:26.because people think while they're listening to the radio, television
:16:27. > :16:33.is, you know, the thinking is done for you. You can't really pause too
:16:34. > :16:41.much, otherwise the director will take the camera off you. Keith's on
:16:42. > :16:45.casters or Wordsworth's on wheels... Poetry in motion. A very Terry
:16:46. > :16:49.Wogan... People tend to say to me, I prefer you on the radio, than I do
:16:50. > :16:54.in the television -- on the television.
:16:55. > :16:59.And that's because I think they're probably right, it's more my medium
:17:00. > :17:03.than the television, the radio. Who wakes you up each morning when you'd
:17:04. > :17:10.rather stay asleep... The radio Show I would say is the show for which I
:17:11. > :17:14.have the most innate ability. I've never ever been frightened of a
:17:15. > :17:18.microphone. I've been frightened of a camera.
:17:19. > :17:27.And I've never doubted my ability to speak into a microphone. I've always
:17:28. > :17:33.been able to do it. Television took an awful lot longer. And yes, it's
:17:34. > :17:44.fun and a great challenge to do the big things particularly. But my
:17:45. > :17:47.first love, my first job was radio. And that's the thing, I think,
:17:48. > :17:51.they'll probably have to drag me away from the microphone when they
:17:52. > :17:57.decide to elbow me. I shall cling to it. There'll be a lot of tears and
:17:58. > :18:06.screaming. I'm gonna miss you. Thank you. Thank you for being my friend.
:18:07. > :18:14.Wasn't that a moment! We have many of the TOGs in the awed yen tonight,
:18:15. > :18:20.Terry's fan base of course, the glue that held many a radio show together
:18:21. > :18:25.-- in the audience. Why are you so loyal to the man, who was it about
:18:26. > :18:29.Terry that you loved? He was just such a wonderful, charming, gentle,
:18:30. > :18:33.generous man with that wonderful voice that you could wake up to. If
:18:34. > :18:38.we could just bottle what he had, we'd all be millionaires, but I
:18:39. > :18:42.think I feel like a millionaire just for the privilege of having met and
:18:43. > :18:48.known him. Gosh, what a fantastic thing to say. Nigel, what was it for
:18:49. > :18:52.you then about Sir Terry? Just that he supported everything that we did
:18:53. > :18:57.with the TOGs in fund-raising, a really generous man and a lovely man
:18:58. > :19:03.to be in his company, funny and welcoming to everyone. After meeting
:19:04. > :19:07.all of you tonight, you've radiated warmth, just a lovely warm group of
:19:08. > :19:13.people. Christine, he inspired a lot of people, you included? He did. For
:19:14. > :19:19.me, he lit up every morning. He lit up a room and I think he lit up all
:19:20. > :19:24.our lives. Yes, truly inspiring. In terms of inspiration or something
:19:25. > :19:29.specific, because you became a DJ? I did. When I retired nearly five
:19:30. > :19:33.years ago, I'd always been musical, wanted to learn the processes,
:19:34. > :19:38.thought I would be doing it in a room quietly, went off and did some
:19:39. > :19:42.courses, got the equipment, build-up play list, got a tutor, and then the
:19:43. > :19:48.TOGs, thanks to Norman and Helen at one of our conventions I was going
:19:49. > :19:53.to every year said "would you dDJ for us"? Can you imagine, I've never
:19:54. > :19:57.performed, and the day I was doing my performance, I was sitting next
:19:58. > :20:05.to Terry at lunch which was such an honour. Terry said, be yourself,
:20:06. > :20:11.just relax. He got up and was thanking all the TOGs and then said
:20:12. > :20:17."Dizzy Twilight is going to be your DJ". That is perfect for a DJ isn't
:20:18. > :20:22.it? Well, it was in there but I was very honoured indeed so what an
:20:23. > :20:25.inspiration. We have four other people who're quite good on the raid
:20:26. > :20:29.yes over there. Lovely to see the TOGs because one
:20:30. > :20:33.of the elements that kind of fired the imagination of so many listeners
:20:34. > :20:39.as well, but the was the thing because Sir Terry was just magical
:20:40. > :20:43.at being able to create a fantasy world with all the characters that
:20:44. > :20:47.went along with it being radio and it lent itself to the imagination so
:20:48. > :20:51.much more so what was it like for you guys to be working in this
:20:52. > :20:55.imaginary fantasy world? Here is a great example of that, every 5th
:20:56. > :20:57.November we had the silent fireworks...
:20:58. > :21:02.LAUGHTER It's bad enough doing fireworks on
:21:03. > :21:05.the radio, but silent! ? Because we didn't want to alarm animals and
:21:06. > :21:09.children which is absolutely the right thing to do. Brilliant. So you
:21:10. > :21:14.would have a Roman candle. Beautiful! And that would go on
:21:15. > :21:22.throughout the whole programme. Shall we let another one off, yes.
:21:23. > :21:25.Oh! Just fantastic. And there was a company that supplied empty
:21:26. > :21:29.fireworks to have in the studio so that we could have it make sense
:21:30. > :21:35.then. There was a real irony to him as well. What do you think he'd make
:21:36. > :21:39.of all of this, Graham? All of this admiration that everybody is seeing
:21:40. > :21:43.at the moment? Very self-deprecating? He was a little
:21:44. > :21:48.bit but he did know how good he was. In interviews when he was pinned
:21:49. > :21:53.down to talk about what he did, he did get it, there was a kind of
:21:54. > :21:56.self-analysis that went on where he understood, but I'm sure he'd be
:21:57. > :22:06.very embarrassed and nonplussed by this. It's a weird thing, it seemed
:22:07. > :22:10.right that we'd gather to sing his praises and I still can't quite
:22:11. > :22:16.believe that he's not here, we are talking about him without him. On
:22:17. > :22:24.the front of every newspaper, like somebody from the Royal Family, you
:22:25. > :22:28.know, all that sort of stuff. It feels right, this, that he's on the
:22:29. > :22:36.papers as well? I'm sure he knew about the love. We've talked a lot
:22:37. > :22:39.about radio but his television career included Blankety Blank and
:22:40. > :22:44.for 28 years, the Eurovision Song Contest, but, it was a show simply
:22:45. > :22:48.called Wogan by brought him regularly into our homes at this
:22:49. > :22:53.very time of night. Rarely a dull moment, particularly when certain
:22:54. > :22:58.female guests sat opposite him. It was a show that went out three
:22:59. > :23:03.nights a week live. You're on, you're on... With a live audience.
:23:04. > :23:10.With anyone who's anyone dropping in, the good, the bad, the you ugly.
:23:11. > :23:16.They called it Wogan -- the good, the bad, the ugly. Nicholas Cage,
:23:17. > :23:26.Robert de Niro... Terry, erm... Is it Terry? Yes, it is. Don't touch
:23:27. > :23:31.me! It was a risk not many people will take. At the time, many advised
:23:32. > :23:35.me not to take the risk. Welcome to the beginning of what I hope will be
:23:36. > :23:41.a long and happy relationship. You are live, aren't you? Yeah... Proof
:23:42. > :23:45.if it were needed. I wanted to make the interview sparkle. I still think
:23:46. > :23:51.that's the way to do it. I still think you have to have somebody
:23:52. > :23:56.who's able to joust and exchange. There is this kind of obsession with
:23:57. > :24:01.trying to look younger than you are. You're speaking about the West
:24:02. > :24:09.Coast, a sweeping generality. I'm not a sweeping generality. Certainly
:24:10. > :24:12.not! I've heard great things about you from Victoria Principal, she's
:24:13. > :24:19.crazy about you. Do you like her? Yes. OK! . Do you like her? I'm not
:24:20. > :24:24.going to say no if you don't say no. I like who have you like. Didn't you
:24:25. > :24:30.find her a little trampy? You haven't read the book have you? No.
:24:31. > :24:39.Then how can you sit here and have this conversation? With the greatest
:24:40. > :24:42.difficulty! There were women who were so astoundingly beautiful, you
:24:43. > :24:46.cannot do anything but react to them. You were voted the third
:24:47. > :24:50.sexiest lady in the history of the universe. How did you fell about
:24:51. > :24:58.that? It's completely changed my life. What will you do as you get
:24:59. > :25:03.older? I'll do a talk show, I imagine. That's all muscle. I don't
:25:04. > :25:07.know. Do you know what you started when you refused to touch me with a
:25:08. > :25:13.barge pole, everybody touches my knees ever since.
:25:14. > :25:22.I had a very low threshold of embarrassment and I have. You know,
:25:23. > :25:32.the blush of shame easily mantles my cheek. Were you a virgin when you
:25:33. > :25:39.got married? APPLAUSE
:25:40. > :25:41.Weren't we all? ! It's like life, it's going to have its highs and its
:25:42. > :25:58.lows. You haven't paid any attention to
:25:59. > :26:04.what I've been saying... They don't make any concession to the fact that
:26:05. > :26:14.you're a woman. Why should they, I don't make any concession to the
:26:15. > :26:22.fact that they are men. LAUGHTER
:26:23. > :26:25.# Time flies # Why can't I
:26:26. > :26:39.# Wanna set the night on fire # Shine a little light on me... #
:26:40. > :26:44.APPLAUSE So entertaining to look back on
:26:45. > :26:47.those clips. Although we all knew he was a giant in broadcasting,
:26:48. > :26:52.absolutely brilliant at what he did, he did like to do it in his very own
:26:53. > :26:59.way, no doubt in that. Chris how was it for you because you did produce
:27:00. > :27:05.him on Terry and Gabby for a while? I tried but it wasn't really like
:27:06. > :27:10.that. We had the show which ran after his daily radio show for a
:27:11. > :27:14.year, it started at ten and Terry finished at half nine so he had the
:27:15. > :27:18.whip across there. His energy levels were amazing, after you come off the
:27:19. > :27:21.radio, you are deflated for a while, a lot of adrenaline's gone through
:27:22. > :27:27.your system and you've been focussing a lot. He'd come over,
:27:28. > :27:32.nice to everybody again, first thing, my assistant now, the frothy
:27:33. > :27:36.coffee man, he started on that show as a runner and he remembers Terry
:27:37. > :27:39.every morning coming up to him, you know, the lowest of the low, with
:27:40. > :27:46.the greatest respect to everybody in TV and going over to him and making
:27:47. > :27:50.a big fuss of him. He said he made a fuss of him. The more insignificant
:27:51. > :27:54.everybody else thought you were, the more significant he made you feel,
:27:55. > :27:58.that kind of thing, do you know what I mean? We had to write Terry's
:27:59. > :28:05.scripts, you know, the most ah tick loot man on TV without scripts, so
:28:06. > :28:12.we spent ages writing these scripts. They looked like auto prompts and
:28:13. > :28:17.Terry, I mean, he was the King -- articulate man. He was the King of
:28:18. > :28:21.autocue, he could find intonation on it because he'd never read it
:28:22. > :28:25.beforehand, you know that, and he'd read it perfectly and make it sound
:28:26. > :28:29.miles better than you ever wrote it. But we had production meetings which
:28:30. > :28:33.he was very much averse to, because it's like Woody Allen, he eyes the
:28:34. > :28:37.Best Actors then lets them out, he doesn't tell them how to act
:28:38. > :28:41.otherwise why would he hire them? We had to have a production meeting for
:28:42. > :28:47.everyone else on the show, including Gabby and the director. We sat Terry
:28:48. > :28:50.down, gave him a cup of tea and assembled around him and had this
:28:51. > :28:55.meeting sort of without him realising. Under the guise of tea
:28:56. > :28:59.and biscuits? Yes, hoping that some of it might go in, not that it
:29:00. > :29:06.mattered. One day we put some philosophy on it because he studied
:29:07. > :29:10.that as a student, so we put something in there to do with
:29:11. > :29:15.meditation. Before he got to the lines, he'd already read ahead and
:29:16. > :29:18.this is on telly, then he starts giggling and says, we have some of
:29:19. > :29:23.this on the way for you and it's like what? ! How did you read it
:29:24. > :29:26.that far ahead, he remembered what it was and there was no point in
:29:27. > :29:33.toying with him. The best thing to do with him was make a show as good
:29:34. > :29:41.as you could before he arrived then leave him to it. That used to happen
:29:42. > :29:46.with Janet and John, he'd read further ahead, that's why he started
:29:47. > :29:49.sniggering before anyone could sense what was going to happen. We were in
:29:50. > :29:54.fits of laughter. He had the greatest laugh in broadcasting. He
:29:55. > :30:02.did. Set everybody off. He and Peter Alice. Like dastardly and Mutley.
:30:03. > :30:06.Utterly infectious. If you were driving around the country and
:30:07. > :30:13.looked in other cars, you could see who was listening to Wogan.
:30:14. > :30:18.You'd see other people laughing and thinking, you're all listening, yes.
:30:19. > :30:22.We think you are going to like this next film, Graham, because things
:30:23. > :30:26.didn't always go to planment some of Sir Terry's guests were reluctant,
:30:27. > :30:31.confused and even a little bit squiffy.
:30:32. > :30:39.It can often be quite embarrassing where the people you have just
:30:40. > :30:46.spoken to refuse to leave the stage. LAUGHTER. I would prefer to do these
:30:47. > :30:50.things live, prefer to do it warts and all with the untidy edges
:30:51. > :30:56.shoexct television doesn't have to be honed and polished to a fine
:30:57. > :31:03.gloss. When the bomb went off I didn't feel anything, I felt I was
:31:04. > :31:09.swallowing a lot of heat. Hang on, I think somebody has let something off
:31:10. > :31:19.here. Actors have to be given lines, so I you sometimes have a problem on
:31:20. > :31:26.chat shows. Do you ever do this stuff in America? Never. Are you
:31:27. > :31:31.glad to do this one? No. You walked out there like many actorst do on
:31:32. > :31:36.talk shows with your eyes blank, thinking, I've Government to ad-lib
:31:37. > :31:42.for about 16 minutes. Does it intimidate you, this type of thing?
:31:43. > :31:48.No, it's fine. You seem to play an awful lot of those energetic and
:31:49. > :31:55.slightly loony roles. This is true. Does this reflect your own sunny
:31:56. > :32:04.personality? Yes. You love doing talk shows don't you? It's terrific.
:32:05. > :32:09.CHEERING. You just interviewed what was put in front of you, which is a
:32:10. > :32:16.bit like school dinners. When are you going to get off cooking and
:32:17. > :32:23.talk about any new book? Whenever you like. Let's do it now. The Duke
:32:24. > :32:26.of Edinburgh... I thought we were going to talk about carriage
:32:27. > :32:30.driving. I know you are enormously popular in England and I'm thrilled
:32:31. > :32:35.to be on your show. I came on this show to sell a book. If I'm talking
:32:36. > :32:40.to somebody and we get into an embarrassing situation, I want to
:32:41. > :32:46.get away. It will cost you a Bentley. Do you drive a Bentley? I
:32:47. > :32:53.don't drive anything, I got banned. You were celebrating some kind of
:32:54. > :32:57.anniversary. Am I? What am I celebrating. It says on the card
:32:58. > :33:05.there you are. George Best. And it is at this point I know that George
:33:06. > :33:09.is out of his mind with drink. You keep bring these managers in and
:33:10. > :33:16.I've got no idea what they are talking about... They talk a load
:33:17. > :33:21.of... Please. Is this live? Very, well almost. Although he hasn't got
:33:22. > :33:26.a drink with him and another he isn't drinking any more, he is
:33:27. > :33:33.getting progressively drunker as the interview goes on. He panics. Can
:33:34. > :33:39.you see it in my eyes? Evil has been in control of the control of the
:33:40. > :33:46.planet. It was the dominating force. Was a shock to discover this at 38?
:33:47. > :33:50.Actually when I see that again I'm embarrassed about it. David Icke
:33:51. > :33:56.believes what he believes, however we may think of it. I'm delight
:33:57. > :34:00.there had is so much laughter in the audience tonight. They are laughing
:34:01. > :34:07.at you, not with you. Fine. I shouldn't have done that. I'm not
:34:08. > :34:13.proud of that. I always knew when an interview went well and when it
:34:14. > :34:19.didn't. You couldn't dwell on it. You had better change to a different
:34:20. > :34:23.subject. If you mean do I behave in Question Time like I do in private
:34:24. > :34:30.with four or five friends, the answer is yes. Why didn't I ask it
:34:31. > :34:39.in that way in the first place? What do the cards say? I don't mind when
:34:40. > :34:45.they say, what's that mean? You are giving me the wind-up.
:34:46. > :34:52.APPLAUSE. Wow! Of course, we understand the kind of, the joy of
:34:53. > :34:56.live. It makes me feel a lot from because offing that. Bruce Willis
:34:57. > :35:01.seems run of the mill now. The thing is that was live, out there on his
:35:02. > :35:04.own with a guest. You know what he feels like there Graham. When you
:35:05. > :35:11.observe his technique and watching him through the years, what did you
:35:12. > :35:18.learn from him as an interviewer? What is amazing is nothing really
:35:19. > :35:23.fazes him. You can tell he wishes it was going better, but there's a kind
:35:24. > :35:27.of carelessness, OK don't talk, or insult me. He rolled with the
:35:28. > :35:30.punches and that goes back to how incredibly relaxed he was at any
:35:31. > :35:39.time. And also about the lack of preparation. You can only do that if
:35:40. > :35:47.you are quite fluid. That's what he was able to do. We very to talk
:35:48. > :35:55.about the Eurovision handover. His acerbic comments bake infamous.
:35:56. > :36:02.Brilliant. You you took on the mantle. Lots of people have
:36:03. > :36:06.commentated on the Eurovision Song Contest over the years but he turned
:36:07. > :36:11.it into a job. Prior to that it had been nothing. For 0 years he
:36:12. > :36:16.absolutely made it his own and it will always be his. I've said this
:36:17. > :36:21.before, when I'm doing Eurovision Terry's voice is in my head. The
:36:22. > :36:26.first time I sat there in Moscow, when the Eurovision theme came up, I
:36:27. > :36:29.thought, oh, I've got to speak, I've got to say, welcome to viewers in
:36:30. > :36:37.the United Kingdom. It was extraordinary. When he had enough of
:36:38. > :36:41.Eurovision, when he had fallen out of love with it, they asked me, but
:36:42. > :36:46.I didn't want to do it unless he said it was OK. So messages went
:36:47. > :36:51.back and forth. Anyway, it came back yes, he is very happy that you do
:36:52. > :36:56.it. I don't know whether that was true, but I didn't care, because I
:36:57. > :37:01.wanted to do the job. So I went, OK, I'm sure he said that. Anyway, a
:37:02. > :37:05.couple of days before I went to Moscow, my phone rang and it was
:37:06. > :37:10.Terry. It was so unnecessary. He didn't need to do that. It was an
:37:11. > :37:15.incredibly sweet thing to do. He found my number and called really
:37:16. > :37:20.just to say good luck, that he would be watching. The only advice he gave
:37:21. > :37:25.me was not to have a drink before song number nine. So every year,
:37:26. > :37:30.Terry is in my head the whole way through, but we always think of
:37:31. > :37:37.Terry at song nine when we pull out the cork. This year will be so
:37:38. > :37:44.bittersweet, because everyone will be thinking about Terry so much. Can
:37:45. > :37:50.you shout out, song nine everyone! Absolutely, we will. Sir Terry could
:37:51. > :37:54.be fairly scathing about his TV career at times but one show he
:37:55. > :37:58.would never take the Mickey out of was Children In Need. Another night
:37:59. > :38:04.that will never be the same again, but with him at the helm it became a
:38:05. > :38:12.TV institution which changed thousands of lives. He raised ?790
:38:13. > :38:18.million. Now it's time to pay tribute to a very wonderful and warm
:38:19. > :38:23.human being. But enough of me. If there was a good ship Children In
:38:24. > :38:29.Need, Sir ter Irish would be the carved figurehead at the front of
:38:30. > :38:37.it. Sir Terry has presented Children In Need for over 30 years. That's
:38:38. > :38:41.over 200 hours of live TV, and pure professionalism. Sir Terry Wogan is
:38:42. > :38:45.quintessentially Children In Need. When you think of Children In Need
:38:46. > :38:50.you think of Terry. The second I started on the that show he took me
:38:51. > :38:57.under his wing and guided me through the chaos. He has the smoothest
:38:58. > :39:00.voice I think I've ever heard. Imagine a sweet with Terry Wogan
:39:01. > :39:07.running all the way through it. Sir Terry Wogan is the linchpin in
:39:08. > :39:15.Pudsey's nappy. He's got great energy. You never see him waving
:39:16. > :39:20.overnight. Hello, I'm gabry Roslin No, I've really lost Terry Wogan. He
:39:21. > :39:29.might be having a tipple on the side. As far as I know, Terry Wogan
:39:30. > :39:36.only ever drunk water. This is Terry Wogan, who wants ?250 for his tie?
:39:37. > :39:42.The show must go on. The old pros bore everyone to death. He gets
:39:43. > :39:45.dealt curve balls all night. Pretty Smyth, eh? WHITE
:39:46. > :39:50.dealt curve balls all night. Pretty Smyth, eh? -- pretty smooth, eh? If
:39:51. > :39:56.you've been watching from the start, and even I haven't been watching
:39:57. > :40:04.from the start. He is a great host for the evening. He will rock on the
:40:05. > :40:07.balls of his feet and go, oh, or... Just caught a glimpse of myself on
:40:08. > :40:13.the television. How have you been able to watch this? Tonight we can
:40:14. > :40:18.all make it count, really count, for the children. He's passionate about
:40:19. > :40:24.the charity, about what it stands for. Keep the donations coming in,
:40:25. > :40:28.please. I hate to nag but we've got to do better this year. All that
:40:29. > :40:32.fine work that contributed to him becoming Sir Terry. We are glad that
:40:33. > :40:36.you're here, but show us the money. It's Terry's show. Children In Need
:40:37. > :40:44.is Terry and Terry is Children In Need. Isn't that heart-warming,
:40:45. > :40:52.everybody? He's a legend. He's a legend. A legend. Deepest respect
:40:53. > :40:59.for that man. I've always loved him. He is a national treasure. It is
:41:00. > :41:07.just great to say, I worked with Terry Wogan. And just hope, when the
:41:08. > :41:11.day comes when I'm notable to react quickly, when I trip over my feet, I
:41:12. > :41:15.hope that somebody's going to take me aside and say, time you were
:41:16. > :41:21.gone. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your efforts. But in the
:41:22. > :41:28.meantime, I'm going TOG on doing it for as long as I can. It is all very
:41:29. > :41:43.strange. But I love you. APPLAUSE. ?790 million. He was such
:41:44. > :41:48.a big part of raising. We are joined by Sue Cook, who presented Children
:41:49. > :41:53.In Need with Sir Terry. It was 1984 your first year. It was the first
:41:54. > :41:58.year it was seven hours long, until 2 in the morning. What were your
:41:59. > :42:03.memories of that year? Of course I was terrified. That goes without
:42:04. > :42:08.saying. Terry was really calm as usual. We had a run-through the
:42:09. > :42:13.night before, which Terry didn't come to.
:42:14. > :42:21.LAUGHTER. It was a loose phrase. We had a script that thick and it had
:42:22. > :42:26.TBA on every page. We didn't really know what was going to happen over
:42:27. > :42:31.seven years. Terry didn't rehearse anything. He would stay in bed all
:42:32. > :42:38.day and come into the studio at 6 o'clock. But we had 20 million
:42:39. > :42:44.viewers that day, everybody was watching. Very frightening. I know
:42:45. > :42:49.from experience, he sat here, Sir Terry, instead of Matt on a couple
:42:50. > :42:56.of occasions and his timings were anybody's guess. But it was hard to
:42:57. > :42:59.get a word in edge ways. Impossible. They gave me omnibus talk-back,
:43:00. > :43:04.where you have the earpiece with everything. We had at least six or
:43:05. > :43:08.eight regions around the UK all doing their little bits. The live
:43:09. > :43:13.inserts and so on. We needed to know what was going to come up next, what
:43:14. > :43:17.had broken down. I had seven people's voices in my ear. Terry
:43:18. > :43:27.sensibly had just one voice, the director. So it was my job as Mrs
:43:28. > :43:31.Sensible from the current aaffairs department to introduce the films
:43:32. > :43:37.and make sure that Terry shut his mouth when the news was coming up.
:43:38. > :43:44.He just wouldn't. I ended up putting my hand over his face. Once I went
:43:45. > :43:48.and sat on his lap to shut him up. Whenever the going got tough, he wee
:43:49. > :43:57.is it there and go, Sue. LAUGHTER. He wasn't that generous
:43:58. > :44:03.then! It was a baptism of fire. But of course everybody has been talking
:44:04. > :44:07.about how much a great talker he is, but I word with him on the board of
:44:08. > :44:11.trustees of Children In Need and what struck me was how much of a
:44:12. > :44:17.good listener he is and how he can react to what he is hearing. That's
:44:18. > :44:22.the key to Terry. So passion it at his heart of Children In Need. He
:44:23. > :44:27.would give everything with his time and his generosity. I know you have
:44:28. > :44:30.worked closely with him on that front.
:44:31. > :44:37.Yes. Terry thought this business was nonsense. He focussed on it and he
:44:38. > :44:41.did a very good job but he still thought at the end of the day it was
:44:42. > :44:45.silly, he thought the world in general was silly, and that was one
:44:46. > :44:49.of the secrets of his success. But the thing he did take very seriously
:44:50. > :44:53.was Children In Need. And again, the smaller you were, the more he put
:44:54. > :44:58.the magnifying glass over you and, if you needed help, you know, that's
:44:59. > :45:01.what it was all about with Terry because of certain challenges and
:45:02. > :45:05.situations he came across in his own life. That was the joy of the radio
:45:06. > :45:11.show because there was this underlying real sort of joy for life
:45:12. > :45:16.because life is so fragile and, you know, that was all part of that
:45:17. > :45:21.sophisticated veneer that came across very simply in the mornings.
:45:22. > :45:26.But actually it was so complicated and what he was brilliant at was
:45:27. > :45:31.disstilling it all and giving you, giving us the fruits of all that
:45:32. > :45:37.internal labour and conflict and then he'd just go "and here it is".
:45:38. > :45:41.Brilliant that he took on board the experiences he had and allowing us
:45:42. > :45:51.to share. He lived in the UK most his life but he lived in Limerick
:45:52. > :45:55.and grew up there. Ciara Doherty is there for us now. How is the news
:45:56. > :45:59.being reported over there in Ireland? There's a genuine
:46:00. > :46:04.outpouring of sadness here in Ireland. Notwithstanding the fact
:46:05. > :46:08.that our general election is due to be called tomorrow, every newspaper,
:46:09. > :46:14.every television station and radio programme has been dominated by Sir
:46:15. > :46:18.Terry's passing. On Ireland AM, we were inundated with calls and texts
:46:19. > :46:22.from viewers who wanted to express their sadness. They also wanted to
:46:23. > :46:25.talk about the pride they had for this Irish immigrant who'd gone to
:46:26. > :46:30.the UK and had been so successful. They talked about the fact that he
:46:31. > :46:35.left at the time of the Troubles in the '70s and '80s when English/Irish
:46:36. > :46:39.relations were fractious and it was a difficult time to be an Irish
:46:40. > :46:42.person in the UK. Because he had such a platform and so many loyal
:46:43. > :46:47.listeners and because he was so loved by UK audiences, he perhaps
:46:48. > :46:51.played a part in changing people's preconceived notions of what an
:46:52. > :46:56.Irish person really was. In Limerick where he was born and grew up,
:46:57. > :46:59.there's been two books of condolences open today and people
:47:00. > :47:05.have queued all day to sign the books. There's talk of erecting a
:47:06. > :47:09.permanent memorial to Sir Terry in Limerick. Those who signed the book
:47:10. > :47:13.today, including a 78-year-old man, the first person this morning to
:47:14. > :47:18.sign the book, spoke of him as an ambassador, a real asset to Ireland
:47:19. > :47:21.and they said that, that self-deprecating sense of humour you
:47:22. > :47:26.talk about, the ability to tell a story and spin a good yarn, we like
:47:27. > :47:30.to think those are quite unique Irish qualities. He embodied all
:47:31. > :47:34.those, embraced all those, so while we were more than happy to share him
:47:35. > :47:38.with you in the UK because he was that person, we really felt that he
:47:39. > :47:43.owned him here in Ireland and we were so glad and so proud today to
:47:44. > :47:48.call him one of our own. He'll be fondly remembered and very, very
:47:49. > :47:52.sadly missed. Back to you in London. Thank you, Ciara. Graham, of course,
:47:53. > :47:57.he was a trailblazer for Irish talent for you yourself? He made it
:47:58. > :48:02.possible at a time when Irish people left to come here and work in the
:48:03. > :48:07.buildings or whatever, here was this man, there was Eamonn Andrews and
:48:08. > :48:12.him and Terry took off. He had that thing about how the Irish accent was
:48:13. > :48:17.classless. He was the first person who it was spoken about it being an
:48:18. > :48:27.advantage. He made it possible for anyone with a regional accent really
:48:28. > :48:30.didn't he? ! Come on Wales! Terry reconnected with his Homeland
:48:31. > :48:38.and here he is reminiscing about his upbringing.
:48:39. > :48:42.# Wake up to Wogan on Radio Two. " This is the day I've been dreading,
:48:43. > :48:46.the inevitable morning when you and I come to the parting of the ways.
:48:47. > :48:52.After 40 years of talking to myself and to you, the loyal listeners, I
:48:53. > :48:53.gave up the day job and now I'm heading off to rediscover the
:48:54. > :49:08.country that made me. We are about to arrive in Limerick.
:49:09. > :49:12.This is where I was born, where I lived until I was 15. I'm coming
:49:13. > :49:16.home. Apart from being my birthplace,
:49:17. > :49:20.Limerick's other claim to fame is that it lies on the mighty sham, the
:49:21. > :49:32.longest river in the British Isles, running, as it does, all the way up
:49:33. > :49:34.to the border with Northern Ireland. I cycled back-and-forth over the
:49:35. > :49:38.bridge every day travelling from home to school and back again and
:49:39. > :49:44.now, as a Freeman of the City, I can drive a herd of sheep over the self-
:49:45. > :49:49.same bridge. This was the school, Crescent
:49:50. > :49:53.College, run by the Jesuits. The building is still standing. Hope the
:49:54. > :49:59.same can be said of my old school friends!
:50:00. > :50:06.Look, look at the boys, look. I thought you would be there with open
:50:07. > :50:14.arms. Jim Sexton, Bobby mull Rooney and Mike Lehy. -- Mulrooney. The
:50:15. > :50:19.building is still used as a school so I hope it's not changed too much.
:50:20. > :50:24.I haven't been through these doors in 60 years. The school was run on a
:50:25. > :50:26.diet of rugby and punishment and this stair case takes me back to the
:50:27. > :50:33.person that dished out the punishment. Am I right in thinking
:50:34. > :50:43.that snitch Magnier used to stand up at the top there -- Snitch
:50:44. > :50:49.McLoughlin. He was Jerry McLoughlin, he was a northerner. A man of severe
:50:50. > :50:55.aspect. He was. He was very strict and, as you rightly say, we were all
:50:56. > :51:00.in a certain terror of him. Remember you got a docket when you were
:51:01. > :51:03.punished for not knowing something. I had the whole morning or afternoon
:51:04. > :51:11.to think about it. He was the executioner. This is where you used
:51:12. > :51:16.to go to get your hands knocked off. My Streams could be heard all the
:51:17. > :51:23.way down O'Connell Street. We are coming down O'Connell Street. See
:51:24. > :51:28.that thing on the corner... That's the store. The old grocery store.
:51:29. > :51:38.It's now a clothing store. If you look carefully at this rare old
:51:39. > :51:46.photograph you will see Leverett's on the far right. He used to carve
:51:47. > :51:51.the ham about here. He was handling the exotic food stuffs and he was an
:51:52. > :51:54.expert in the cooking of meats and hams and my dear mother, God rest
:51:55. > :52:01.her soul, was the great destroyer of meat. She did the incineration
:52:02. > :52:06.technique of cooking. Aunty May used to say, Rose couldn't boil water.
:52:07. > :52:11.That's my mother Rose. That's right. The moment I've been waiting for,
:52:12. > :52:15.Elm Park is where Brian and I were born, where we spent our childhood,
:52:16. > :52:17.and for the first time since we left Limerick over half a century ago, we
:52:18. > :52:34.are going home. 18 Elm Park, Limerick, eh. Michael
:52:35. > :52:40.Wogan used to sing in this bathroom every evening as he shaved, like
:52:41. > :52:45.Valentines Gone By and he used to deafen everybody within a radius of
:52:46. > :52:50.100 metres. But he always shaved the night before. Meticulous man. I
:52:51. > :52:53.learned the Floral Dance because, in this very bathroom, he used to sing
:52:54. > :53:01.it here. That's right. Baritone
:53:02. > :53:06.extraordinaire. # All together in the Floral
:53:07. > :53:10.Dance... # After driving nearly 2,000
:53:11. > :53:19.kilometres around the old em-Alled isle, I'm back in Dublin -- emerald
:53:20. > :53:25.isle. We Wogans moved here from Limerick. 12 years later, I made
:53:26. > :53:32.Helen Joyce the happiest woman on the planet by marrying her.
:53:33. > :53:42.My life, if you ask me about my life and the meaning of my life, it's
:53:43. > :53:48.been absolutely wonderful. I've had the most wonderful time, I've had a
:53:49. > :53:54.lovely family, I've had a lovely wife, I've had success in the
:53:55. > :54:00.material world, I've done something I wanted to do, I've had an ideal
:54:01. > :54:06.life. So I can only tell you what it means to me which is happiness.
:54:07. > :54:12.APPLAUSE As we said, our thoughts are with
:54:13. > :54:18.Sir Terry's family and his son Mark's sent a letter to you that he
:54:19. > :54:22.wants you to read. Everybody's reaction has been amazing and lovely
:54:23. > :54:26.today, if you could deliver the following words on our behalf, we'd
:54:27. > :54:30.be most appreciative. I and the rest of the family would like to keep our
:54:31. > :54:35.grief private for now. We as a family though are overwhelmed and
:54:36. > :54:38.grateful for the love and support displayed for our loving husband,
:54:39. > :54:42.father and grand matter. He would have been embarrass bid the fuss but
:54:43. > :54:51.we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.
:54:52. > :54:56.We are going to finish with a little bit of music. Sir Terry wasn't just
:54:57. > :55:02.a broadcaster, he was also very briefly a pop star. It's true. In
:55:03. > :55:06.1978 after entering listeners with his own rendition of the Floral
:55:07. > :55:10.Dance, he released the track by popular demand and even appeared on
:55:11. > :55:14.Top of the Pops. Yes. He released the single with the Brighouse and
:55:15. > :55:19.Rastrick band who're going to play us out very shortly, they are behind
:55:20. > :55:23.us. Derek is here. He's been reunited. So pleased you're here
:55:24. > :55:28.because the last time you did this was 1978 for this is your life?
:55:29. > :55:31.That's correct. We'll let you get prepped, keep your hands warm
:55:32. > :55:36.because it's about to happen very shortly. That's about all for
:55:37. > :55:44.tonight, thank you to Graham, Chris, Alan Sue and Lynn and our thoughts
:55:45. > :55:54.are with Alan, Mark, Katherine, Terry's children and Helen his wife.
:55:55. > :55:57.Tomorrow we'll be live from Hebden Bridge where the flooded shoulder of
:55:58. > :56:03.mutton pub will be our studio for the night. Two thoughts from Sir
:56:04. > :56:07.Terry, time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana. And his
:56:08. > :56:12.Golden rule of broadcasting was, get on your toes, keep your wits about
:56:13. > :56:17.you, say good night politely when it's over, go home and enjoy your
:56:18. > :56:21.dinner. On that night, playing us out, it's the Brighouse and Rastrick
:56:22. > :56:55.band with the Floral Dance. Good night.
:56:56. > :58:07.Hello, I'm Riz Lateef with your 90 second update.
:58:08. > :58:10.The Zika virus is a global public health emergency.
