Wogan's Perfect Recall is a Channel 4 game show presented by Terry Wogan, first broadcast in 2008. It airs from 17:00 to 17:30 Monday to Friday, occupying some of the timeslot previously taken by Richard & Judy. The first series began on 25 August 2008 and comprised 20 episodes. The second series began on 12 January 2009, and will run for 12 weeks.

The show is a test of contestants' general knowledge and memory.

Round one is a general knowledge round with 20 questions. The contestant with the fewest points is eliminated. In rounds 2 and 3, the questions are different, and usually harder, but the answers remain the same. The contestant with the lowest points is eliminated in each of these rounds. This means contestants can answer either by knowing the answer or by remembering an answer from previous rounds. When only one contestant is left they play for up to £100,000. They must choose the number of questions they think they can answer correctly in 60 seconds. If they get less they leave with nothing, whilst if they get more they still only get the amount they have chosen. The minimum number of questions required to answer correctly in order to get any money is 11, whilst the most is 20. The show has already met criticism due to the format of the final round as very few contestants actually walk away with a cash prize even if they set a low target.
