A broadcasting legend, Sir Terry Wogan is heading to St Albans to share tales of his colourful career.

The veteran presenter will rewind the clock to his days on Radio 2’s Breakfast Show and recall memories of meeting Hollywood icons and sporting heroes on his prime-time hit chat show, Wogan.

Here Terry talks food, fame and the Floral Dance...

1. What can people expect from your show?

Only me, I'm afraid, and I won't have a brass band to play the Floral Dance, luckily for everybody. Just a leisurely wander through the highways and byways of radio and television.

2. You're doing a Q&A as part of the show - what's the question you get the most?

The questions are always varied from early days of Fight the Flab, through Jimmy Young, the Eurovision, Blankety Blank, Wogan, and Children in Need. I do my best to answer the bits I can remember. Don't forget I'm the founder of the Togs, Terry's old Geezers...

3. Looking back at all the people you interviewed, is there any question you wished you asked?

I should have asked Anne Bancroft: 'What the hell are you doing here on a talk show, if you don't want to talk?'

4. You've done so much - what stands out for you?

Always and ever, the most important an satisfying thing I have ever, and ever will do on TV or radio, is Children in Need.

5. You¹ve won lots of awards - what do these mean to you?

The most important thing to remember is that awards, though gratifying and flattering, like fame, are not forever. Enjoy the fuss, it won't last. I won't be leaving any 'footprints on the sands of time'.

6. You have said before that embarrassment was your constant companion on your live TV talk show, Wogan. How did you manage that?

Easily. I have a low threshold of embarrassment. I'm completely unsuitable for television, radio or showbiz.

7. Which out of your interviewees has been a highlight and most interesting, why?

An impossible question to answer in any short space of time. There were three Wogans a week for 50 weeks a year, for more than eight years. That's 12,000 programmes, all of them 'live'. I Wish I could remember them all!

8. You've also said before that the highlight of your day is getting home to have dinner with your family. You children seem to have a flair for cuisine, would you that's inherited from you?

Their mother: a fine cook. I can claim to have encouraged them by eating enthusiastically, but the credit is my wife's and my children's.

9. What is your forthcoming novel about?

I love writing and home - the two go together. It's a book of short stories, my first venture into fiction, it will be titled The Way We Were.

10. Do you get back to Ireland much?

Ireland comes to me in the shape of friends and family, although I'm involved with the University of Limerick, my home town, of which I'm proud to be a Freeman.
