My mum used to rave on about him in the early 80's and I had to suffer the Radio 2 breakfast show with Wogan..I couldn't see the humour at all but then I was a 'Young Ones' fan ;o)
Nowadays I find myself thinking he is entertaining. I must be getting old, eh?
I used to really dislike his mannered delivery - getting almost to 'Jimmy Young' level, and he talked like no-one else on the planet before or since!
Either I've got used to it, or I've 'tuned in' to his speech, because I do like his radio show a lot. He makes what is actually pretty difficult sound remarkably easy, and the interchange with his colleagues is really clever.
You don't get listening figures like that without appealing accross the board - although I still can't watch him on TV, his constant shuffling from one foot to the other, and that appalling wig!
Did anyone watch the semi-final and hear that Wogan wannabe, Paddy O'Connell (I think that was his name)? He'd obviously been listening to some of Tel's old commentaries and was trying to emulate him. He failed, dismally.
