TOGs Totally Explained

Everything about Togs totally explained

Terry's Old Geezers/Gals/Gits (often nicknamed "TOGs") are people who listen to the Wake Up to Wogan show on BBC Radio 2. They often take on pseudonyms, as did the newsreaders, prior to February 2007. They were:*John Marsh - "Boggy Marsh"

Alan Dedicoat - "Deadly Alancoat"
Fran Godfrey - "Mimi" (me, me, me, me, me...) In February 2007, Boggy Marsh took compulsory retirement, at the age of 60. He is only semi-retired still returns to the show every six weeks to read the news. His departure from the show caused a reshuffle of staff, and the introduction of a new Travel Announcer, Lynn Bowles, whom the TOGs often referred to as the "Traffic Totty". Charles Nove also nicknamed "Chassa", "Bossa", and "Super" is now a regular newsreader on the Wake Up To Wogan show, and is famed among TOGs for his impression of coughing sheep which has become a running 'gag' on the programme.
