How long is the Christmas holiday going on for? Sated with food, fed up with old movies on the box, struggling with the hangover from New Year's Eve and Hogmanay? Then you'll know how Terry feels.

Guest host Ronnie Corbett. Terry leaves the show in the more than capable and perfectly proportioned hands of the smaller Ronnie while he goes on holiday.

Ronnie Corbett promises tall guests, small guests, tall stories and big names, with no jokes about absent Irishmen or people's height.

Ronnie Corbett packs his bags and prepares to join his other half tomorrow night. But not before he's packed bags full of entertainment into tonight s live show.

At last, the good life invades the once verdant pastures of Shepherd's Bush Green as Felicity Kendal tries on Terry's wellies for the first of three titanic struggles with the elements.

Felicity Kendal didn't realise that watering the plants in Terry's dressing-room could take most of the day.

Part three of a short series of unpredictable dramas in which our Terryfied heroine (Felicity Kendal) promises a cliff-hanger ending. Tonight's performer: Denise Pearson (as Five Star).

Bronzed and fit after two weeks' absence far, far away from Shepherd's Bush, Terry returns to amaze and delight you.

Welcome to the first frolic of February live from the TV Theatre.

Terry's febrile fancies feature fantastically tonight.

Terry's little palace of varieties has acquired a more verdant backdrop as Hammersmith Council pursue a policy of greening Shepherd's Bush and expanding its attractions to a wider public: not only acres of newly-planted shrubs but W12's answer to Rotten Row - for cyclists to navigate the green and avoid the police cars and fire engines racing past the Television Theatre. Guests tonight: Sue Cook, Clement Freud, Joanna Lumley, Eli Wallach.

Outside the Television Theatre, the audience files impatiently past the red-biddy drinkers lying in the gutter, as the gardeners toil to improve the outlook on to Shepherd's Bush Green. If only the sinking sun could reveal the delicately-staked cuttings, the ivy and the evergreen shrubs added to the landscape... but inside the theatre Terry tills another furrow.

Terry invites you to the Terryvision Theatre, nestling amid the newly-afforested acres of the Euonymus fortunei and tropical lianas — which strangle the cyclists on their velotrucks.

Remember the first programme all those weeks ago? The night Terry fell over? One year on — and they said it would never last more than a month.

Guests include: Ian Charleson, Angela Fox, Edward Fox, James Fox, Robert Fox

Captain Thomas Wogan signed the death warrant for Charles I, but despite years of being a Roundhead, he turned Royalist and supported the monarchy. Unfortunately, after several months of desultory warfare in which his skill and courage gained him the highest reputation, he had the misfortune to be dangerously wounded and, no surgical assistance being within reach, his short but glorious career was terminated. Are there lessons to be learnt from the lives of these other Wogans?

Sir John Wogan Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, 13th-century international mediator and conciliator, lies buried in St David's Cathedral in Wales. Will the reputation and memorial of another Wogan last as long?

"The dressing room at the Television Theatre is a dreadful shade of green. The shamrock-shaped bath is very uncomfortable. The little stacks of peat and potatoes ... but a girl gets used to anything". Tonight a new view on Wogan, with Anna Ford. The guests include: Evan Hunter (as Ed McBain), Michael Korda, Kenneth Williams.

With Anna Ford. A new model. Adjustable seats. All-round vision. Safety belts front and rear. Independent suspension. All in all, a luxury you can't af-Ford to miss.

Back from his holiday, it's time for Terry to pack away the bucket and spade, shake the sand out of his shoes and get down to Shepherd's Bush Green again to see the stars.

The tan is beginning to fade, the sangria and paella are merely memories now. All that's left is the straw donkey and the bird-of-paradise flowers wilting in the dressing room of the Television Theatre as Terry gets back into action.

Terry celebrates the Fourth of July in his own inimitable Irish way.

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 that bit of seaweed he found outside the theatre. 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 souwester 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.

Shakespeare once wrote "talk show, talk show, talk show, life creeps on this petty place from day to day". What he got wrong, of course, was that it runs on from Monday to Wednesday to Friday with that Shakespearian buffoon from County Limerick live at seven o'clock.

It was near the public conveniences 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. An act of French enlightenment, or a display of envy that Wogan is not screened in France?

On meeting Terry Wogan, the great Marshall McLuhan might have said "the meaning is the talk show and the talk show is the meaning — a microcosm of the global village" and then touched our hero for a fiver. Was he right?

Terry's back in the spotlight tonight live at the Television Theatre. After interview, the British singer Kim Wilde performs "Keep Me Hanging On".

Terry told us before he went away he'd let nothing pass his lips except gruel and hard tack. Was it true? Is there less of him than there was?

A darkened room, a stringent diet and a few refreshing draughts of Wittgenstein and Popper have had an invigorating effect on Terry, as he returns to his little home on Shepherd's Bush Green.

There's just time to send a card back to the people who've sent you one, but who you have crossed off the list this year. There's just time to find the lights for the tree and discover they've fused. There's just time to strangle the carol singers who only know the first two lines of "Good King Wenceslas".

J.R. and Sue Ellen stop their feuding for a seasonal reconciliation on the stage of the Television Theatre. Terry welcomes Linda Gray and Larry Hagman and says: "I'm sure all they need is a good talking-to. I look forward to bringing them together for Christmas".

"And so, friends, we are poised on the cusp of the new year: who knows what challenges it may hold - and who cares? It's not much fun being the only sober person in the country as the chimes ring out - but have one for me, and a Happy New Year!"
