Trivia
Terry Wogan's interview with John Malkovich was reviewed by Tom Little in the Dublin newspaper "Sunday World" (19th March 1989) under the title "Terry shows his teeth":

"The fact that you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Terry Wogan was chillingly demonstrated on his show last week. [...] Glenn Close seemed happy enough to be there, but Malkovich certainly didn't. He oozed boredom. So when Tel smiled and said to him in a loud voice: "you have no script, John - are you terrified you'll have to ad lib?", he was taken aback. All he could mumble was something along the lines that he was happy to be there and he didn't need a script. It was the perfect put-down. I got the impression - and it's only an impression, mind you - that Terry and Malkovich didn't exactly hit it off before the live show started. Maybe Malkovich wasn't talkative enough. Maybe Terry just took a dislike to the man. Whatever the reason, watching Terry's smiling put-down was as devastating as watching a tiger pounce on its unsuspecting prey."
