A mild rap on the knuckles for Sir Terry Wogan in the latest complaints bulletin from the BBC Trust. Here's the bit that caused the trouble on Weekend Wogan in January this year. Please don't read on if you're easily offended.
Music: Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Wogan: Frankly if I had my time over again, and given the boating tragedy
in Italy, I mightn't have picked that as an opening song (chuckles) –
Rock the Boat, argh, Captain Coward (chuckles).
(Post midday news bulletin)
Wogan: (to announcer) I don't know about you Deadly but I'll be the last to
leave the BBC.
(BBC Radio 2 sting)
Wogan: Not sinking is it? Me first, (chuckles) never mind the women and
children, I'm not even Italian.
The Trust verdict - a breach of the guidelines, and surprise that there was no on-air apology on the day, but no further action because there was an apology to the complainant - thus "resolved".
