Farewell Sir Tel
So, Terry Wogan has finally announced that he is leaving Radio 2 at the end of the year.
He's been on for donkeys years - I used to listen to him when my children were tiny and they're in their 30s now! He was on early and then handed over to Jimmy Young. Ah. memories.
So - the end of an era I guess?

He obviously doesn't know as I'm sure he would have mentioned it to me. I know he's always said it's the Terry Wogan show but Terry is not very often on as he is always on holiday.I remember Jimmy Young as well, I had a Jimmy Young cookbook years ago.

Re: Farewell Sir Tel
I too remember the early days of Terry
and 'the DG' on the roof of broadcasting house with the sheep 
.I moved on to radio 4 and classic FM as 'a staple diet' of radio so haven't heard him for years .
I also loved Jimmy Young with his 'legal eagle' and Dr Hugh Jolly on child care
great radio!

Oooh yes Meg - remember Raymondo who always asked Jimmy Young "What's the recipe today Jim?" and a very helpful vet who used to make regular appearances. Plus a weekly shopping/consumer piece with the editor of The Grocer? And some half-decent music. That was all before the airways became clogged with inane emails and phone-ins.Oh fear - I'm turning into a GOW

Re: Farewell Sir Tel
I had to suffer TW on the way to school in the car with my Dad every morning when I was young . . . I have to say that put me off him for life (TW not my Dad). I know he's a very clever chap and a consumately professional broadcaster but he just doesn't do it for me.Mind you he's getting on a bit now so I guess he just wants a leisurely retirement and to keep an eye on all his various business interests!

Re: Farewell Sir Tel
Who can forget his attempt at pop stardom....I thought he was great fun and someone who didn't take life too seriously...
