Terry Wogan - did he mean Des Lynham?

Question

"Presenters with glazed eyes, reading auto-cues".

Sounds like Sports Mastermind.

Answer 1

I never saw what Wogan said. But I agree Des seems terrible on Sports Mastermind.

We maybe forget that Des was well known for being off the cuff on Match of the Day or just linking between the sports on Grandstand... he was never a sit down and read the autocue sort of guy, so no one would've noticed his being rubbish at it.

The BBC has it's faults, but it still does some really good stuff - better than any other British broadcaster (except maybe Channel 4 on a good day).

By the way if you're a Hibbie, I really ought not to consort with you. Ha, ha. Isnt Laszlo good, and is it soon to be bye bye Mixu?

Answer 2

I liked it when Des did Countdown he was much better than the O Connor one

Answer 3

he meant gary linaker.

Answer 4

He means those two idiots who present the breakfast news

Answer 5

Personally, I believe that Des has died and has been repleced by a robot made in conjunction with Madam Tussauds. The shock of his demise would be too much for us to take.
