[2] Regular stand-in presenter Johnnie Walker became interim host of the breakfast show for the three-week period between Wogan's departure and Evans' arrival.

The show was produced by Paul Walters for over 10 years; in addition to these duties, he traded banter with Wogan and the newsreaders on-air until his declining health, with an illness that had been diagnosed in November 2005, took him away from the studio in late January 2006.

Boyd was at first rarely heard on-air, but often played a part in Wogan's "mini dramas", usually as the dour Scottish soundalike for a Taggart character.

The regular travel announcer was Lynn Bowles ("Traffic Totty" (2007–09), who joined the show following Marsh's retirement and a change in format.

This was a long-standing gag, used to make light of the fact that listeners who write into other Radio 2 shows (such as Steve Wright in the Afternoon) often address "the Team".

Much humour was drawn from identifying stereotypical traits of the elderly, such as absent-mindedness, cynicism and befuddlement at modern society's habits, as being those of a true TOG.

Marsh's departure from the show caused a reshuffle of staff, and the introduction of a new Travel Announcer, Lynn Bowles, whom the TOGs often referred to as the "Traffic Totty".

Charles Nove also nicknamed "Chassa", "Bossa", and "Super" later became a regular newsreader on the Wake Up to Wogan show and was famed among TOGs for his impression of coughing sheep which became a running gag on the programme.

Originally, Dawn Patrol host Sarah Kennedy covered for him after persuading then Radio 2 Controller Frances Line that she was most suitable for the job.

A couple of "dubious" moments whilst Kennedy was in the chair during the late 1990s under James Moir's reign, however, resulted in Ed Stewart or Alex Lester being granted the accolade.

Allinson tended to cover the show during Bank Holidays, and also during Walker's absence from the station (undergoing treatment for cancer) in late 2003 and 2004.
