Friday Night

Terry Wogan wrote briefly about Friday Night in his 2006 autobiography "Mustn't Grumble", noting that it had been created with the knowledge that Wogan (1982) was being cancelled:

"Indeed, the press, who, as ever, had a keen eye for a man down, saw another chance to resume the kicking. The BBC apparently was paying not one, but two executives an enormous amount of money to find a programme, any old programme, for 'Worn-out Wogan'. Somehow, I doubt it, but we did end up with Friday Night with Wogan, which had an interesting format that included Danny Baker and Frank Skinner, and might have succeeded if anybody had cared, but as far as some people were concerned, I was a busted flush, and after a season or two the show was suddenly not there any more."
