Sir Terry Wogan is one of the most popular entertainers in Britain today. But what must it be like to live the life of Sir Terry Wogan? From radio to TV studio, from host at a charity event to experiencing the thrills of a Eurovision Song Contest, from presenting awards to receiving awards.

Written in a style familiar to his millions of listeners, rich with warmth and irony, Terry Wogan introduces his post-Emergency 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 also explains how exactly he's managed to avoid a hard day's work from childhood to Knighthood.
