Wogan : Season 6

A darkened room, a stringent diet and a few refreshing draughts of Wittgenstein and Popper have had an invigorating effect on Terry, as he returns to his little home on Shepherd's Bush Green.

Buddy Rich, the guest tonight, performs "Birdland".

Kate Bush performs "Experiment IV".

Guests include: Nick Kamen, Diana Rigg

Guests include: Gorden Kaye, Vicki Michelle

Terry kicks off a special week with more matchless guests live at the Television Theatre.

Halfway through the week, and Terry limbers up and gets into training for the rigours of Children in Need.

Who's on the show tonight with Terry? It will depend on the day's news, the events of the week and whatever else takes Terry's fancy.

Guests: Henry Mancini, Johnny Mathis, Elaine Stritch

Dr Wogan's live lesson in the philosophy of frivolity lasts for 35 minutes.

When icicles hang by the wall, and Dick the shepherd can't escape the foul ways and nipped blood of life on the Green, join Terry for a little live pot keeling and merry notes at the Television Theatre.

When even the red biddy drinkers at the stage door are practising 'wassail wassail', can Terry imbibe the Christmas spirit live tonight from the Television Theatre?

Terry unwraps a few goodies from the bag of exciting television programmes lined up on BBC1 for your delectation over the Christmas holiday and talks to some of the twinkling stars who'll be haunting the festive fishtank.

There's just time to send a card back to the people who've sent you one, but who you have crossed off the list this year. There's just time to find the lights for the tree and discover they've fused. There's just time to strangle the carol singers who only know the first two lines of "Good King Wenceslas".
