The guy did a good job at presenting it.

D ream  had an almost "classic" hit song which we will all hear from time to time...

Dare also had a 'hit' of sorts, which Wogan used to play quite a bit, but I can't remember what it was called now.  Wild Horses, or something.

Was the great man himself there or has he gone to that great space telescope in the sky?

Indeed he was there it was a fantastic experience to hear him talk - he stood there for half an hour without stopping. Great. The scary part was me sitting the row behind and him turning around and asking what I do!  :woot:

That was a great privilege Sam.  He is one of the true greats of radio astronomy.
