Would be entirely worth it.Simiainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669222421792405719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-42467355633671625882008-12-05T15:53:00.000+00:002008-12-05T15:53:00.000+00:00Ken Bruce on the radio is almost as sarky as Wogan...Ken Bruce on the radio is almost as sarky as Wogan, so he would have been the ideal replacement.

As expected, you write about this sad day far more eloquently than ever could. Terry will be missed and Norton snubbed. What was mildly camp will become nothing but camp.

A very dark day.Uncle Dick Madeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124053234469634414noreply@blogger.com
