I like Terry, and it won't be the same without him. He doesn't take himself seriously, and has raised millions and millions for children.

The fee he hasn't taken since 2011? A big stick to bash him with back then but not now.

Does that mean he DID take a fee for this charity from 1980 - 2010 inclusive?

Yep, he only stopped when the press ran the story.

They could've really run with it and had a little timer on the screen from the start of the show, indicating exactly when the donations had exceeded his fee.

"Lets see if we can beat last years time, when by 8.22pm we'd already accumulated enough bunce from you guys to cover Terry's services for the night. Please. Just pick up the phone now."

Like a lot of the BBC presenters - the exposure is always worth way more than the fee. I suspect Children in Need has been very, very good to Wogan.

He got £9,065 for doing the 2005 show (so just over £1,500 an hour). Not bad at all.

Loads of celebrities, who by investing in tax avoidance schemes starve the country of funds thus needing things like this , telling people who work hard and crippled by tax to give their money to it

It's difficult to take a post from Ernest seriously without lost of CAPITAL LETTERS in it
