Terry Wogan

Radio Times
12 August 2008

"BBC staff no longer proud to do their work," says Terry Wogan.

This exclusive interview with the Radio Times - to mark Wogan's 70th birthday - was been widely picked up by the press across the UK.

They call Terry Wogan the Don Corleone of radio, his "family" of Togs (Terry's Old Geezers/ Gals) are fiercely loyal, and his shows are legendary. So how did the Togfather get to where he is today? Christopher Middleton finds out…


It's not a matter for dispute. At the age of 70, Sir Terry Wogan is the capo di capi, the boss of bosses, with a broadcasting record as long as your arm. And what got him to this elevated position? "Oh, I think a lot of it is down to my own natural laziness," he smiles, in full eye-twinkle mode, as he steps through the clouds of atmospheric smoke and takes his seat-cum-throne at the start of the RT shoot, where he's the Godfather for the day.

"Do you want the full Marlon Brando bit?" he asks, giving us a lifelike rendition of the Hollywood legend's cotton-wool-assisted dialogue, plus a tweak of his cuff links....

Richard Holloway

The Guardian

'Simon Cowell would like to be PM'.

The man behind two of the UK's most popular shows talks to Gareth McLean about the dearth of presenting talent, last year's phone-in scandals, and his approach to managing egos on The X Factor.

In his eyrie of an office at TalkbackThames, with views of the British Museum and Fitzrovia, Richard Holloway is in a prime position to survey the state of British television. As executive producer of The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent - the latest in a long line of entertainment programmes that he's executive produced, from The Price is Right to Pop Idol - he's responsible for two of the country's most popular shows and two of ITV's strongest brands. And yet he's not as buoyant as he might be....

Absolutely awful: Real life Edina's son says why growing up wasn't quite so fabulous after all

Rainy holidays in North Wales. Hot, bad-tempered car journeys. Or maybe just incessant bickering.

Childhood memories never quite pan out as parents hope. But at least most of us were spared hours of Buddhist chanting alongside Sting and Sinead O'Connor.

Or naked 'rebirthing' rituals in a hot tub with our middle-aged mum.
