It was to be the final show he\u2019d ever host. In November 2015, Terry Wogan kicked off \u2018Weekend Wogan\u2019 with his favourite Clifford T Ward track and ended with the Platters. In-between, the usual good-natured quips flowed, alomgside much talk-up for the Children in Need appearance for which he was to send apologies for his absence.
\n\u201cSpend until your pocket thinks your hand\u2019s gone mad\u201d, were his final words of conversation. But was there just something in the Wogan pause just between \u201cI\u2019ll see you\u201d - and \u201cOn Friday\u201d?
Now laughing friends deride\nTears I cannot hide\nSo I smile and say\nWhen a lovely flame dies\nSmoke gets in your eyes
