Terry's interview with Nancy Reagan attracted some negative reactions. The Sandwell Evening Mail (6th December 1989) slated it with a scathing review: "SADISTS will have had a wonderful time when the ever-smiling Nancy Reagan met Wogan (BBC1), because here indeed were a couple of creaking gates who've hung too long on their whinges. She told him twice that she'd been married 38 years, then he asked:' 'How long have you been married then?' Next, she forgot what she was speaking about and smiled face-liftedly into the camera. Come to think of It, perhaps that tight little mouth was really her navel elevated by the plastic surgeon. Tel looked shiftily embarrassed as his big scoop died a death. But at least we learned why the ex-President kept falling asleep - Nancy bored him."
