waysider Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'll miss the guess-the-wig family argument we had every time his face appeared on the telly. Old Terry had three wigs he would wear in rotation to give the illusion of naturally growing hair. Each of the three wigs (wee wig, middle wig and big wig) would get a two-week outing. Every other Monday night, Wogans hair would noticeably increase in size before finally going back to square one (wee wig) once the cycle was at its end. Great entertainment, best thing on the show ...apart from George Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that might be an Urban myth There is no definitive proof whether he did wear one or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 All day mourning on Radio2, folk phoning up in tears. At least with Bowie they could pick from his vast legacy of records. I must've heard the Floral Dance about 4 times, as well as its B-side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Your not allowed wigs when getting knighted AFAIK but there's a picture of him holding his medal with a full head of "hair" Is there a part of the ceremony when folk get "wig tested"? Widnae surprise me if there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyMiller Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I went to watch Jim Davidson at the fringe a couple of years ago after his arrest and acquittal. Wogan was still alive. Its fair to say that Jim had some interesting views and opinions of Mr Wogan. Jim was fantastic and had lots of time before the gig for me and my girlfriend. Offered us a drink. Classy.

Classy. To be fair, there's nothing particularly classy about offering to buy someone a drink. Politely turning down a drink from Jim Davidson might be the classier move...
