TERRY WOGAN STANDS BEFORE A GROUP OF HIS BBC RADIO 2 COLLEAGUES. HE IS WEARING A SPECTACULARLY OBVIOUS AND ILL-FITTING WIG
Greetings one and all. First of all I must say I'm overwhelmed so many of you kind souls have come in on your day off to wish my farewell as I sail off into a sea of glorious laziness and excessive lie-ins. Let it be known I'm forever thankful.
Now I know we've had our ups and downs during my time at the helm of this wonderful radio programme but I like to think that even when things got really hairy, we were known for our bald and brazen approach to broadcasting which entertained listeners from Barnet to Wigston.
I believe it's testament to the great team we have here that even at a time when radio audiences across the board are massively receding, we managed to increase ours.
Now I know managers will interfere and at times it seemed like every single one of them wanted to have their toupee's worth but I'm immensely proud we stayed strong and cut our rug accordingly.
I hope I was never too much of an ogre. I might have had to slap heads from time to time but if I ever did, it was always because I was so desperate to protect my patch.
So thanks for all the goodbye presents - I don't know what I'm going to do with all these combs and hair gels - and I hope you'll be gentle with my replacement Mr Chris Evans.
Just one word of warning - you might have to massage his ego slightly, I hear from a reliable source, he might be starting to go a little bald...
