Wogan to join UK radio comedy show

Terry Wogan is to join the roster of regular panellists for long-running UK Radio 4 show 'Just A Minute'.

The former Radio 2 breakfast host, who retired from his 'Wake Up To Wogan' slot in 2008, will join the comedy series when it returns next month.

Also joining the Radio 4 programme – hosted by Nicholas Parsons – will be keyboard wizard and 'Grumpy Old Men' regular Rick Wakeman.

Panel show 'Just A Minute' sees a panel of wits aiming to speak for a minute on a given subject without “hesitation, deviation or repetition”. Parsons has been presenting the show since its launch in 1967.

Regular guests who are set to return include Paul Merton, Tony Hawks, Sheila Hancock, Ross Noble, and Marcus Brigstocke.

The new eight-edition series begins on February 7 with Wogan – who now presents his 'Weekend Wogan' show on Sundays – appearing in two programmes.
