I loved his Eurovision commentary, it was why I started watching Eurovision. He'll be missed

Bad year for celebrities so far! Terry Wogan's commentary was legendary.

@delcan - like you he got me hooked on Eurovision as a comedy, priceless, UK national treasure.
He may be responsible for a lot of the Aussie obsession with Eurovision, & I was mighty pissed off when they stopped his commentary.
He was fabulous on anything, some classic comedy on Buzzcocks
