Description
Unadulterated Wogan - the voice of sanity in a world gone gently mad.
Until recently, eight million people improved their mornings by tuning into Terry's words of wisdom on Wake up to Wogan. But was their appetite sated by this daily exposure? Not in the slightest. So it's lucky that Terry has been known to turn his hand to the odd bit of writing. This has allowed him to shed light on such weighty matters as how to survive a wedding, what Bank Holidays are for, why Eurovision could be responsible for the Celtic Tiger, whether we should watch out for potatoes, and where exactly it all went pear-shaped...
WHERE WAS I? gives his devoted followers exactly what they want - the unadulterated, inimitable Wogan viewpoint; a droll, forthright voice of sanity in a world gone gently mad (or is it them?). Like his broadcasting, his writing is an effortless flow of easy wit and sage opinion. WHERE WAS I? builds up a picture not only of Terry's world, but of Terry himself - a man who somehow manages to be off the wall and on the money all at the same time.

Person
Terry Wogan was born in Limerick and educated at Crescent College. After five years in banking Terry joined Radio Telefis Eirann as a newsreader/announcer. Moving to light entertainment as a DJ and host of TV quiz and variety shows, in 1969 Terry stood in for BBC Radio's Jimmy Young and was soon given daily shows on Radio 1 and 2, taking over the prestigious morning show in 1972. Terry's TV credits include his live chat show series WOGAN, THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST, COME DANCING and BLANKETY BLANK, to name but a few. In 1993 Terry rejoined BBC Radio 2 to present WAKE UP TO WOGAN, which became the most listened to breakfast show in the UK. In 2005 he received a knighthood. He is married to the sainted Lady Helen and has two sons and a daughter.
