Terry Wogan's Ireland Episode 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ธ.ค. 2015
- RIP Terry Wogan. 3 August 1938 - 31 January 2016. This documentary, broadcast in 2011, takes on a new poignancy now. Enjoy.
It is over 40 years since Terry Wogan decided to leave Ireland and seek his fortune across the water in England. In that time, Ireland has changed beyond all recognition - and so has Terry. Now, in the wake of his retirement from BBC Radio 2, Terry's going 'home'.
In the autobiographical journey of a lifetime he travels back to Dublin, the city he left behind as a teenager, and all the way back to Limerick, where he was born, taking in the length and breadth of the heart-stoppingly beautiful Irish coast en route.
For Terry, this is an opportunity to cherish the old, and to seek out and celebrate the new face of Ireland. But this Ireland is a very different country to the one he left behind over 40 years ago - the nation now finds itself in the midst of an economic crisis. But as Terry reminds us, Ireland has survived 500 years of oppression, colonisation, religious discrimination, starvation and emigration. The Irish may be down, he concludes, but don't ever count them out.
Terry was born into an enterprising family of shopkeepers. They lived in Dublin and Limerick, the start and end points of the first leg of this journey. By retracing his story, Terry reveals the bigger picture of post-war Ireland - the result is a uniquely personal take on the history of this beautiful but divided land. Terry has rarely talked about his Irish Catholic origins and so, for many, this series will be a revelation.
In a land that invented the gift of the gab, Terry is in his element as he heads out west in the company of his lugubrious driver Dave. En route to the house he grew up in, he discovers a 'moving' statue of the Virgin Mary, suffers bad weather on the Ring of Kerry, and in Tralee he recalls Ireland's Loveliest Ladies competition, as he asks himself what it means to be Irish today. - เพลง
Terry Wogan was a great link between Britain and Ireland. A lovely man who never forgot who he was....
RIP the Legend that was Terry Wogan
Oh want know voice Terry Wogan last, long time! Good work Terry, hug of São Paulo Brasil.
Thanks for uploading these Mr Snoozer..Terry was such an intelligent and gifted presenter, his wit and eloquence always charming .. he is indeed missed so very much. His voice was like verbal velvet, the lilt of his accent so engaging, so warm. Enriched by his gentle personality, unrivalled in broadcasting today. A gentle man indeed. A life well lived, all promise fulfilled. There is an emptiness when we lose lovely people, we miss you Terry, the world is a little more empty without you, indeed it is.
always liked good old terry .he had such a friendly voice.....
Oh how I do miss Sir Terry...
Im a South African who moved to Ireland a few years ago and in my current job, park at the father Matthew statue in Cork everyday on my bus and i always think of Terry.

Ireland is my home ,i could never accept another country as my home.
Still miss our Togmeister - RIP Sir Terry Wogan, you are still the best!!
47:24 Must admit, got a bit of a lump in my throat when Terry says, 'I'm coming home'. Rest in peace auld fella.
RIP. Terry will never forget the 'floral song' in the morning show you had years ago.
R.I.P.Terry...Just a really nice man...
Heart broken - sleep tight Terry x
Both Gaybo and Terry went to England. Gaybo came back though ... and the two greatest broadcasters of these islands are both gone now. R.I.P. Gay Byrne and Terry Wogan.
Nautilus1972 Terry was in a different league
Really nice documentary series and a heartfelt, personal portrayal of Terry's emerald Isle of birth!
Rest in peace terry xxx
Never forgotten, never replaced . RIP Sir Terry. X
goodbye friend, R I P.
Very poignant now he's gone, rest in peace Tel
Lovely documentary...just found it. Gg grandparents from Ireland. Still learning more about them. Don’t know much about their lives in Ireland...they came to Chicago. I love the Irish landscape, music, people.
As lovely in the flesh as on screen, even though I only met him briefly when he visited Foster Place bank now part of Trinity College. (security desk) R.I.P. Terry
Wonderful to watch again thank you for putting this up have a lump in my throats such a lovely lovely man sadly missed
I also wish there was a bluray of Terry and Mason’s great food trip
This brings tears into my eyes. I have been spending the best two months of my life in Ireland - and I just spotted The Bridge Bar in Portmagee where we went to dance, and even the good old teacher show up on this video - still having the same face.
"I'm coming home"
God,that hit me...
I would like to visit Ireland, specially Limerick, his birth place and Frank MacCourt's too.
Ladies view is the most beautiful spot in Ireland IMHO.
vEry Interesting, and easy listening a pleasure to watch
Anne Lister doc , Thank you Timothy . Love you SO much duckie . 😱😱😱😱
He was born in Ireland and raised in Ireland in my city
Boeing was that Limerick in my country love from Derry
When I was small in the early 70s , he’d be on mums transistor radio doing “ Wogans’ Winner “ . 40 years later he’d be on smart digital radios in my customers’ smart kitchens - and if they went out , I’d change the station ! I now wish he was still there to ignore as he seemed extremely genuine compared to some of the Drones and Clones they have on uk radio 🙄regards from wessexshire
It was NOT a famine.
“They may be down, but don’t ever count Ireland and the Irish out”
Grand feller. A joy.
Love the Irish sky,,,,,
everybody remembers the moving statutes . i remember going down to ballinspittle.. there was bus loads of people going.
Gullible gobshites.

LEGEND
As we say in Ireland some man for one man
I was arrested last week drinking a can of cider outside Terry's family home..I'm from garryowen just over the bridge , I was out there loads of times but the neighbours must have rang the guards ,ha ha
The comments are most moving. It's a challenge to lose Personalities we like and a Journalist you respect.
My best thoughts to his Irish fans - (Irish American here - Tennessee, born in Chicage - the and "Flatley Dancer guy" it's older than me 😁 - my lineage County Kerry and Cork) (Murphy, Sullivan, Lynch, and Cole) 😁🍸🎶
One of the days - soon - I will be there, oh you'll here me, I sorta - well - I use to be a Cheerleader, I have a habit of Cheering Folks Up - and We all get Loud! lol
Love ya Ireland - Keep a Good Thought, Always 💫
💚🍀💚
Why does Ireland have to keep Orange on the flag now? I was hoping Ireland would fly the all Green again. 💚
Sir Wogan and David Icke...
As an American that lived in BOTH nations...I would say, in reality, there is about a 1% difference between them
Mark McAllister then sadly you never got to know either country. There is a massive difference as much as Canada and Usa.
They are a number of differences in no particular order
1 ireland is a much more rural than england
2 GAA
3 Ireland is pro european britain is eurosceptic
4 Music apart from traditional music country music is also big here ,but not in england
5 The planning laws especially in rural areas are completely different.Ireland is the only country in europe where you will see houses dotted around the countryside.In britain that just isnt allowed either
6 Our soccer fans are renowned for their good behaviour,the brits though most have them are well behaved they have a minority that wreck the place
7 We generally are less arrogant as a nation
8 We have more a sense of community
9 although we are secular nowadays they are still catholic practises that are strong first communions confirmations and pilgrimages that would not be the same in britain which is secular longer and has a prothestant heritage.
Yes we are very similar but they are some marked differences .Some areas especially dublin there is virtually no difference between it and liverpool or any other city in britain .They have a british style class system soccer is the biggest sport not GAA even if GAA is strong their aswell and they support english clubs.Rugby is played in the private schools like it is in england by the priveledged classes mostly in south dublin,.There is generally no social mobility in dublin,but in the rest of the country there is due to the availability of free education to the sons of small farmers.This has resulted in hurling which was once considered a peasant sport taking a strong foothold in affluent south dublin with cuala winning the all ireland.
UK and Ireland suck compared to USA.
clay fada UK is abandoning Brexit just shows just how cowardly they are.
@@clayfada6993 Thank you for your eloquent, informative, and articulate epistle. Great post.
He's not wrong about Irish, it was beaten into us when we were in school and I hated it as a result.
The best view in Ireland where they stop in the rain on the Ring of Kerry is actually on Valentia Island and the view on the road going back to Bray Head !!...not technically on the Ring of Kerry
Interesting the rose of tralee was the most watched tv program in ireland in 2011.This year it was nowhere near
No professor its because its a load of shite!@James O'Keeffe
The Rose of Tralee was one of the most watched shows and The Eurovision Song Contest was also popular in 2011.
That bar he visits on 19.00 is still open in Cork City. The hi-b.
Brian no longer works there, he's retired.
But the no mobile phone rule is still enforced. They'll just ask you to take it outside please.
I had a few pints of beamish in there last Sunday night😊
Who beat us at Alcohol Consumption!?!
Well, they should be counting us Irish in America - *"No way we would lose the Title!"*
Oh! County Kerry! 34:34
Where my Great Grandparents were both from - but they met in the USA.
I am going to Kerry! ...and I might STAY!
I've known JIm Sexton all my life and can't get over how different he sounds on this, is there something wrong with the sound?
He died in his prime, I think
BRITISH ISLE ,,,,,,WHAT#
Maybe they just refer to the Geographical or Topographic description of all the islands off Europe’s’ north western edge called “ The British Isles “ but I can see how that can get beneath the skin of Celtic etc folk. But “ British Isle “ is incorrect indeed . A Morman said my family “ come from the west “ and my wife is a McColl - regards from Wessexshire in the soon to be 51st state of the usa 🏴😇👍
what a bloke a big big miss
He came from a well off family, not like the young men the same age, that had to work on the roads in London breaking their backs for a few pounds,and sending a few pounds home to their family,
People can not help who their parents are or where they are born, my family are poor as church mice...nobodies fault.
And your point is?
Jealous bastard

No true Irishman excepts a knighthood we do not recognize their silly titles
Gobshite
@Tom Sanders I agree, the Irish should never go to England to get a better future. Its best to be miserable and wretched in your own country than happy with a positive future in another one.
flip inheck How come many Americans have won it.
You have it all wrong my learned friend.
Ireland does not confer titles.
It does however recognise them.
@flip inheck, hi, American here and I know Bill Gates got an honorary knighthood.
ok until he got into the religious piffle...but that dont last good show dont you know
Bolloxology!
Doesn't the bible say that two of the ten commandments are
No other gods before me.
No graven images or likenesses.
So why does the catholic church worship the images of Mary and the Saints! Catholics break the fundamental laws of their bible!
Try and understand the bible and study The Early Church Fathers ... "To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant."
'Graven images', interesting point as there are a lot of them for sure when you sit down and think about it.
Paul, the Catholics are the original Christians. Protestants are a breakaway sect of Christianity. You know nothing about Catholicism. Also, I'm an atheist but I was brought up Catholic and got a thorough education in theology classes at Catholic schools.
Google it and you might learn something.
@@ladyi7609 what a load of bollocks! The Roman catholic church was not original christianity it was created by Constantine the great 5 centuries after jesus's death.
Shame what Ireland’s become now…
