Wogan followed the footsteps of Jimmy Young, and like Young, finished up using speech patterns and vocal inflections utterly unknown to anyone else on this planet.
His constant see-sawing volume from the 'whisper' to the 'BOOM' and back again, the generally mindless nonsense spoken, and the basking in the cast-iron belief of his BBC masters that he was so wonderful they could not afford to lose him.
Like Evans or not - he has ignored the grief-stricken end-of-the-world wailing that accompanied Wogan's death - sorry retirement - and totally blitzed Wogan's listening figures, which must say something.
The BBC have a habit of deciding that someone is so utterly wonderful that the general public cannot get enough of them - it was Wogan, now it's Norton.
They tried with Kielty, but even The BBC's relentless ramming him up the nation's TV screens at every opportunity has failed to make the public think of him as anything other than he is - a talentless irritating buffoon.
