Two pairs of Irish eyes are smiling. The ones on the inside belong to Terry Wogan
Two pairs of Irish eyes are smiling. The ones on the inside belong to Terry Wogan. The others belong to Madam Tussaud, but are to be used in a waxwork model of the broadcaster with the blarney.
Wogan went along to the London tourist haunt yesterday (16th September 1982) to be measured for a replica waxwork and to have his eyes matched up from hundreds of glass pairs in stock.
The BBCs blue eyed boy will be the only disc jockey
on show at Tussaud s. The last one, Pete Murray,
was displayed from 1964 to 1967

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the meeting of two pairs of Irish eyes that are undeniably smiling. The inner pair belongs to none other than the legendary Terry Wogan, a beloved broadcaster known for his charming wit and magnetic personality. However, it is the outer pair that catches our attention as they belong to Madam Tussaud's waxwork model of Terry Wogan himself. Captured on September 16th, 1982, in London's famous tourist attraction, Terry visited Madam Tussaud's to be measured for his replica wax figure and have his eyes meticulously matched from an extensive collection of glass pairs. This extraordinary process ensures an uncanny resemblance between the real-life icon and his waxen counterpart. What makes this occasion even more remarkable is that Terry will be the sole disc jockey displayed at Tussaud's among a sea of renowned figures. The last DJ showcased here was Pete Murray back in 1964-1967. This photograph takes us back to the vibrant era of the 1980s when glass eyes were carefully chosen to bring life-like qualities to these astonishing creations. It serves as a nostalgic reminder not only of Terry Wogan's enduring legacy but also highlights the artistry behind capturing human features with such precision. Preserved by Charlie Ley through Memory Lane Prints, this image immortalizes a unique moment where two pairs of Irish eyes meet – one filled with genuine warmth and humor while the other awaits its place within history alongside countless iconic figures at Mad
