A collection of Terry Wogan's best TELEGRAPH columns, with his
trademark wry take on life. 'It's my feeling that whatever's
bothering you, you ought to be able to say it in less than 500
words. The rest is window-dressing ... Probably explains why I
didn't write WAR AND PEACE...' Sir Terry Wogan has been busy over
the past 10 years writing his ever-popular SUNDAY TELEGRAPH column.
In this first collection of the very best of his weekly musings,
Terry delivers his distinctively dry and amusing views on life.
From the disappointment of the declining years, the ubiquity of TV
cooks ('Nowadays, you can't throw a stone in a country road without
hitting a television chef, in full colour'), to vanity and those
little daily annoyances that drive you to drink, he never fails to
entertain. Terry's modern grumbles, gentle social commentary and
witty observations make for a delightful assortment of reading.
Charming and wry, with not a hint of lickspittle, this is WOGAN'S
WORLD at its most entertaining.
Five delightful pantomimes featuring musical numbers, silly jokes
and fun for all the family! In Puss In Boots, young Tom dreams of
winning the heart of Princess Rose Petal. Can Puss in Boots help
Tom defeat Baron Skinflint and his greedy ogre, and win the
princess' heart? Aladdin is a happy peasant boy. But the wicked
Abanazar needs his help, as only Aladdin can enter the secret cave
to find a very special lamp... In Mother Goose, Jack and Jill are
in love and want to get married. Will their wish come true, thanks
to a magical goose which lays golden eggs? Dick Whittington has
come to London to seek his fortune. It seems his luck is changing -
until the evil King Rat threatens everything... In Sleeping Beauty,
the christening of Princess Rosebud is interrupted by the Wicked
Fairy Carabosse, who gives the baby a terrible gift. If Rosebud
pricks her finger and spills a drop of blood she will fall into a
deep sleep... With stellar casts including Terry Wogan, Maureen
Lipman, Anita Harris, June Whitfield, Kenneth Connor and Frank
Thornton. Everyone loves a traditional Christmas pantomime, and
with this classic BBC Radio collection you can enjoy the festive
fun whenever you wish. With rousing songs, corny jokes and the
obligatory Widow Twankey, it's perfect entertainment for all the
family. Oh, yes it is!
Terry Wogan is a legendary figure in British broadcasting and this
book remembers the many bizarre themes that he developed in his
special relationship with his listeners.
