Product Description
Product Description
Naughtily hilarious parodies of children's stories as read on Terry Wogan's breakfast show.
For the last four years, 8 million listeners to BBC Radio 2's Wake Up To Wogan have been beguiled and bewitched by the naughty but nice adventures of John and his wife Janet. In the style of children's stories of yesteryear, John gets up to all sorts. Then he tells Janet all about his day, by which time every perfectly innocent big end, back passage and stiff one acquires a whole new meaning... After selling over a quarter of a million recordings of their adventures, they're now available in hard covers for the first time.
'Buy it, for goodness sake, and read away. Not in front of the children, of course...' Terry Wogan

About the Author
Kevin Joslin (a.k.a. Mick Sturbs) was born in 1958, so is really old enough to know better. He runs the TOGs website, www.togs.org, which is an online home for the bewildered followers of Terry Wogan's BBC Radio 2 show Wake Up To Wogan, and over the last ten years he has written a good deal of nonsense for the show under a variety of assumed names.

"oxo Tower" - "ipomoea purpurea" Just recalling these words from two of the broadcast scripts made me laugh out loud. I was only reading the contents list. There are delights and smut galore should you want that sort of thing. It is a joy to go looking in there for my particular favourites; carol singing with Pauly at Mrs Frontage's house . . .The trip to the opticians . . . absolute gems. Thank you Mick!

Anyone who is anyone will admit to being a diehard listener to 'Wake up to Wogan'. It is through this behemoth of the early morning airwaves that the millions of listeners have found themselves laughing hysterically at the stories of the foppish newsreader, John Marsh, and his stern wife, Janet. The glorious helpings of innuendo and double, nay treble entendre have ensured that, to those who listen, the stories are unforgettable.
Written by the pen of one man, Mick Sturbs, they are now at long last available in a single volume, to be treasured and read whenever we want to lighten even the dullest of days.

I'd say the only thing missing from this book is George Clooney, ops, sorry I mean, Terry himself to read it to you! Perfect book to keep with you at all times, when in need of a giggle! I even suggest, reading one story every morning to start the day with a bit of innocent filth from Janet and John to get your day off to a fabulously funny start! Great for enyone with a sense of humor and why not at Amazons cheap price! ENJOY, I certainly did! xXx
