This week sees the 31st birthday of spare but still vigorous Terry Wogan. As he casts that simple mind back over his halcyon days of broadcasting, he may well bear in mind what the Leo horoscope for today reads: "With Saturn rising up Uranus, be careful of female digital contact with the lower extremities". Words of wisdom that will be heeded as the galaxy of stars are wheeled in for 40 minutes of live conversation. Kate Bush performs "Running Up That Hill".

Can Terry ever escape from the culture palace on Shepherd's Bush Green? Is Wittgenstein just another German gag-writer? Watch and all will be revealed.

Surrealism, the Bauhaus, modernism, and now Wogan. Is art imitating life or has the cat got your tongue sandwich?

Can the cultural revolution turn on Shepherd's Bush? How many surrealists does it take to unscrew a light bulb?

Reflecting on his idyllic childhood at the mercy of the Jesuits, Terry recalls: "Talking was often forbidden, and so it was at that ripe and tender age that I knew I wanted to talk to people and to have them beat my knees rather than the backs of my hands".

Terry, who's never been averse to a slap on the wrist — from a lovely woman — squirms and fidgets in his chair as he parries with his guests live at the Television Theatre.

Terry's was a lonely life at the bank in Dublin. Sometimes he would conduct question-and-answer sessions with himself. Many erstwhile scholars cite this as the reason for his incessant chattering today. Make your own mind up tonight.

As he puts on his galoshes and trudges through the puddles on Shepherd's Bush Green to the day job, Terry wonders two things: will the rain ever stop, and will there be an Indian summer? That leads to a third question: what is an Indian summer?

As he shakes the rain from his trusty and impermeable umbrella, Terry ponders whether he made a mistake when he trusted the bit of seaweed he brought back from Turnberry. When it comes to forecasting the weather, it's as much use as a concrete lettuce.

As the rain trickles down his neck from his yellow sou'wester, it dawns on Terry with mounting horror that he hasn't seen a patch of blue sky all week. But his little heart is cheered as he realises that inside the Television Theatre all is sunshine and stars.

Guests include: John Inman, Demis Roussos, Diane Simpson

It was in Vichy that the great Gertrude Stein said: 'A talk show is a talk show is a talk show', and was then pelted with garlic. French enlightenment or a display of envy that Wogan is not screened in France?
