The weekend newspapers had broken the news that Terry's show was due to be axed. The Daily Mirror (2nd December 1991) reported: "The Beeb confirmed it is talking to Wogan about a replacement for his six-year-old show. And Terry has even been booted off the box on Christmas Day. All we'll see of him this Christmas week is a repeat Madonna interview on the Monday and his regular Friday show. Terry, 52, who has been persuaded by the Beeb to extend his £400,000-a-year contract until February 1993, played down his changing fortunes yesterday. At his mansion in Taplow, Bucks, he said: 'It's only television. It's not the end of the world.'"
The newspaper claimed to have statements that EastEnders (1985) would have extra episodes to replace the series, but in the end event Wogan was replaced by the ill-fated Eldorado (1992).
