Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

0:09.5

A sort of a somewhat, not somber program, I thought, for the 1st of February,

0:14.1

but certainly with much reflection and much thought about Terry Wogan,

0:19.5

and the fantastic coverage in the papers.

0:22.3

I think the papers excelled themselves

0:23.8
