Wogan’s world clearly wasn’t wild enough for the Guardian

David Bowie, with all his drug-fuelled nonsense and his strictly limited appeal, gets a full front-page photo and an entire edition, practically, to himself (12 January). Terry Wogan merits a quarter of the front page and a miserly half-page obit (1 February). One wonders what you’ll do when David Attenborough goes. Probably about like Wogan. Like Wogan, he’s led a blameless and profoundly useful life. Just not very, shall we be kind and say, colourful? I wish you would stop trying to suck up to yoof.

• I liked Mark Lawson’s piece (1 February), but I’d like to point out that Togs means “Terry’s Old Geezers and Gals”. To be called a geezer is unacceptable!
