Product Description
Written in a style familiar to his millions of listeners, rich with warmth and irony, MUSTN'T GRUMBLE is Terry's definitive autobiography. Not only does he introduce the reader to post-Emergency Ireland, his chain-smoking maiden aunts, his quick-witted mother and hard-working father and the (not so) Christian Fathers who tried to knock his hands off, he explains how he's managed to avoid a hard day's work from childhood to knighthood, and entertained a few million people along the way. Terry talks in full about his past 35 years with the BBC: his hugely popular Radio 2 show, his TV shows WOGAN (NOW & THEN) and BLANKETY BLANK, the Eurovision Song Contest, working on the BBC's Children in Need programmes, and where he learnt to breakdance so brilliantly. It is the autobiography his fans - and TOGs - have been waiting for: fresh, honest, a real craic and completely the same ... but different.

What a fantastic book! Terry Wogan really is a national treasure, and this book shows us why. Not only is he absolutely hilarious from page one, but he tells us all sorts of things about his childhood that were left out of his previous book. I read Mustn't Grumble from cover to cover on a Sunday, and my plans for the day went straight out of the window because I just couldn't put this book down. Come on Terry, old geezer, when's the next installment coming? I can't wait!

Being of the young TOG variety I was wondering whether I would enjoy Sir Terry's second book - what was going to be different?! Well, the first book stops in 1980 and that's when I was born so he's definitely had a life since then. I laughed a lot so thanks Terry. Roll on the next twenty five years.

I love this man, when I am reading his book I can hear his dulcit tones and it's as if he's here with me, and I love telling my friends that I am going to bed with Terry again! As a fan I thought I knew most of his tired old tales, so I was thrilled to find that there are so many new ones! Keep up the good work old man! Well worth reading for anyone interested in Terry. If you don't like him, well I wouldn't bother.

Second volume of commentary from the "national treasure"
Terry Wogan broadcast to the nation's breakfast for forty years, retiring in 2009. This book, for a few year's earlier, seems to suggest his developing thoughts of ending the... Read more

A grumble too far
I'm a Terry Wogan fan. A TOG, you might say. I loved his radio shows, which were something I missed greatly when I left the UK, and I wish I could listen to the new Sunday show... Read more

For me, not Terry's best piece of work. Yes, it is true to his style of humour and yes, it brings us up to date in a reasonably informative way, BUT, the book just did not engage... Read more

Boring
This has to be one of the most boring books ever given to me. The so-called 'humour' was so terrible, it was laughable.

Brilliant TOGS read
I can't put the book down, the prologue had me laughing, the rest of the book is a brilliant read. Terry just lets people know how life was and is for him which makes it such a... Read more

A book to brighten your dullest days!

Just as good second time around...
Yes it maybe only a mere five years since his first tome but it is just as enjoyable, if not more so. Read more
