Terry Wogan's a bit like marmite really: people either love him or hate him. If you're in the latter category then to be honest there's probably no point in reading Wogan's Twelve as you'll probably dislike it as much as the man himself. However, if you're someone who looks forward to turning Radio 2 on at 7.30am on a weekday morning then you're in for a treat!
Written in a diary style this book gives a year long insight into Terry's life. Not only do we hear about the radio shows and his interactions with his beloved TOGs, but also the books signings, Eurovision appearances and family events. Written in Terry's unique style there's a great mix of humour and sensitivity. The entry covering the untimely death of Paul Walters brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat.
Definitely worth a read even if just to satisfy the small bit of TOG inside you!
