  Terry Wogan and Eurovision 2002
Wogan's 30-year radio career has been made, at least in part, by his witty, often biting comments about Eurovision during the BBC's annual airing of the event.
The security chief for this year's Song Contest in Tallinn, Urmas Piir, reportedly joked that Wogan could be searched for "a very long time in order to keep him from reaching his broadcast booth as Eurovision went on the air," Paevaleht reported.
In the end, so used to criticism from outside Britain and always on the lookout for fresh comedic material, such comments are probably all music to the ears of Terry Wogan.

 [No title]
This striking cultural reworking of a Christina icon is explored by Wogan who relates the cult of this witch-saint to the wider social and economic situation of Salasacans, both indigenous and mestizo, who were relatively powerless in the face of first colonial and then national government and economy.
Wogan carefully demonstrates that in fact the situation is just the opposite; it is the long term familiarity with writing that leads to its signification, not Salasaca illiteracy or lack of formal education.
Wogan rightly cautions, however, that seeing Salasacan sorcery (or writing) simply as an exotic strategy for resistance underestimates the complexity of ideas and cultural positioning present in acts of witchcraft and other cultural purposes it may serve.

  Clementina : Arthur's Classic Novels
Wogan was aware that the Governor of Prague was her kinsman; and that afternoon he left the castle alone, and taking the road to Vienna, turned as soon as he was out of sight and hurried round the town until he came out upon the road to Prague.
Wogan was lazily determining to speak to the landlord about it when his half-awakened mind was diverted by a curious phenomenon, a delusion of the eyes such as he had known to have befallen him before when he had stared for a long while on any particular object: the strip of fl widened and widened.
Wogan was borne backwards, his assailant sprang at him from the cupboard, he staggered under the unexpected vigour of the attack, he clutched his enemy, and the two men came to the ground with a crash.

TERRY WOGAN was born in Limerick, Ireland on the 3rd of August 1838, and educated at Croissant College, in Limerick (hence the fondness for toast).

Wogan did not hear the laugh, but the lady did.  She raised her head, and at the same moment the courtier came across the hall to meet her.  As soon as he had come close, “Harry,” said she, and gave him her hand.
Wogan was a little startled.  He suddenly remembered that he had pretended to know no English on the road to Bologna, nor had he given any reason for his haste.  But it was upon neither of these matters that she desired to question him.
Wogan knew that she would not.  She was a girl who was never checked by any inconvenience her speech might cause.  Her tongue was a watchman’s rattle, and she never spoke but she laughed to point the speech.

BB was the epitome of lowbrow television - hated by the critics, but as soon as it started, the show proved an instant hit with viewers, and each week for the next four years the contestants would fill in the blanks to compete for the naffest prizes on television.
However, bearing in mind that Mr Wogan himself was the main draw to this show for the majority of the viewers, the chief drawback was that it contained a number of very un-Woganesque features.
Wogan himself gave TV and Radio Bits an on-air mention on his breakfast show on 24th March 2006.
