Terry Wogan

CGI was used to superimpose his head on somebody else's body. On returning Wogan read out several light hearted comments from listeners saying that they thought he had died with his sudden disappearance and the playing of such sentimental music. The strike by BBC staff was a protest over announced job cuts.

He began his career at Raidió Teilifís Éireann where he presented shows such as Jackpot in the 1960s. Wogan has worked for the BBC in the United Kingdom for most of his career. He is perhaps best known in the United Kingdom for his BBC1 chat show Wogan for his work presenting Children in Need as the host of Wake Up to Wogan the original host of the BBC game show Blankety Blank (before being replaced by Les Dawson) a presenter of Come Dancing in the 1970s and as the BBC's commentator for the Eurovision Song Contest on radio and television from 1971 to 2008.
