Looking forward with ill-concealed delight to next Sunday,and seeing all my friends. That's what "Weekend Wogan" has become for me, a huge joyous works outing.
The cheery up-turned apple-cheeks of the studio audience as they eagerly await whatever tit-bits I throw to them. It's like feeding-time at the zoo... They chomp merrily away, drowning out my every word and the best musical efforts Elio Pace and his Krazy Gang can hurl at them.
So far only one used pair of false teeth have been found, abandoned in the jam of one of the BBC's Danish pastries. Mick Hucknall, Griff Rhys Jones and Katrina Leskanich will be straining every nerve and sinew to make themselves heard,but it's an uphill struggle.... It'll be particularly pleasing if we can hear Katrina, the last of whom many think of as a dying breed, a UK winner of the Eurovision Song Contest. I don't know how I missed it, but did they select this year's entry? I'd love to hear it.
You never know, 13 years on, it could be our turn again... If we could just swing it with the Russian Bloc...or the Balkans...Or the Baltic....
Let's hope Ireland make it to Oslo, they're the only ones who ever vote for us....
