Terry Wogan – författare

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe definitive autobiography from the nation''s best-loved broadcaster.Written in the style familiar to his millions of listeners, rich with warmth and irony, Mustn''t Grumble is Terry''s definitive autobiography. Not only does he introduce the reader to his life in Ireland, his chain-smoking maiden aunts, his quick-witted mother and hard-working father and the (not so) Christian Fathers who tried to knock his hands off, he explains how he managed to avoid a hard day''s work from childhood to knighthood, and entertained a few million people along the way. Terry talks in full about his past 35 years with the BBC: his hugely popular Radio 2 show, his TV shows Wogan (Now & Then and Blankety Blank, the Eurovision Song Contest, working on the BBC''s Children in Need programmes, and where he learnt to breakdance so brilliantly. Mustn''t Grumble is fresh, honest and a must-read for any fan of this extraordinary TV and Radio figure.

A year in the life of Britain''s most popular entertainer, and George Clooney look alike, Sir Terry Wogan...What is it like to live the life of Sir Terry Wogan KBE? WOGAN''S TWELVE puts you in the passenger seat as Terry journeys through a helter-skelter year. From radio to TV studio, from hosting a charity event to experiencing the thrills of a Eurovision Song Contest, to sitting in the garden of his French chateau waiting for the rain to stop, there''s no denying that Terry Wogan does more in one year than most people do in a lifetime.With diary entries and specially commissioned Matt cartoons through the months, this is a wonderfully witty, off-the-wall account of the year''s highlights, the lunacies of the modern world, and of course the Eurovision Song Contest. It''s a perceptive insight, warm with Terry''s distinctive voice, and a must-have for his millions of fans.

Unadulterated Wogan - the voice of sanity in a world gone gently mad.Until recently, eight million people improved their mornings by tuning into Terry''s words of wisdom on Wake up to Wogan. But was their appetite sated by this daily exposure? Not in the slightest. So it''s lucky that Terry has been known to turn his hand to the odd bit of writing. This has allowed him to shed light on such weighty matters as how to survive a wedding, what Bank Holidays are for, why Eurovision could be responsible for the Celtic Tiger, whether we should watch out for potatoes, and where exactly it all went pear-shaped... WHERE WAS I? gives his devoted followers exactly what they want - the unadulterated, inimitable Wogan viewpoint; a droll, forthright voice of sanity in a world gone gently mad (or is it them?). Like his broadcasting, his writing is an effortless flow of easy wit and sage opinion. WHERE WAS I? builds up a picture not only of Terry''s world, but of Terry himself - a man who somehow manages to be off the wall and on the money all at the same time.

Sir Terry Wogan shares his opinion on just about everything from money, relationships, manners, fame, to life in general.This little work is designed to bring you back, again and again, to refresh your view and attitude to life, living and everything in between. You will find no easy answers to your dilemmas here, rather an alternative view of how to approach them. Or to be honest, just Sir Terry''s view. You never know, you might even agree with him...THE LITTLE BOOK OF COMMON SENSE covers Sir Terry''s views on:Life: One day at a time. But look where you''re going. Particularly on a bike...Talk: Keep it short and to the point. You don''t want people to think you''re a politician. The most popular person at a party is the good listener. Particularly at an Irish party.Money: Save or spend? Risk is for derivative and hedge-fund wonks. And it''s not their money, anyway. Hold on to your hard-earned ha''pennies - your children are going to need them.And everything else in-between...
