Terry Wogan, (PROSE: That Time I Nearly Destroyed the World Whilst Looking for a Dress) also known as simply Wogan, (TV: Untitled, PROSE: I Am a Dalek) was a "dreaded" individual from the planet Shepherd's Bush, (TV: Untitled) distinct for his "Irish chatter". (PROSE: I Am a Dalek)
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
The version of Heathcliffe Bower who didn't assassinate Margaret Thatcher occasionally appeared on Wogan. (PROSE: The Assassin's Story)
The Sixth Doctor met the dreaded Wogan. He later compared him to Roland Rat: The Series, believing the latter to be much worse. (TV: Untitled)
In April, 1999, when celebrity Polly Wright attended the funeral of Jane Vapid, she knew that everyone was hoping to be named in the television commentary by Terry Wogan. (PROSE: That Time I Nearly Destroyed the World Whilst Looking for a Dress)
In the 2000s, Kate Yates woke one morning to the news. Once that finished, Wogan's programme began, and Yates dozed off for ninety minutes, reawaking just as Wogan "hand[ed] over to Ken Bruce". (PROSE: I Am a Dalek)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The idea of Wogan being an undercover alien was previously used in the BBC series Not the Nine O'Clock News.

He is a Zillon from the planet Tharg, and cannot be trusted".
