Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Wogan pioneered the 'sofa chat' format that influenced Graham Norton and every UK talk show since. His Eurovision commentary alone changed how Britain watched terrible pop music.
The BBC wiped hundreds of early episodes — classic 1980s archival tragedy. What survives is mostly post-1988, making early seasons genuine lost media.
