Graham Norton

Was first time i watched his chat show last night and did anyone else find it appauling the way he joked about the 50mil heist. I'm sure the family and the 8 yr old that were held hostage didnt find it very funny at all.

Graham Norton was at his best - if he appeals at all - on Channel 4 where his humour was, shall we say, 'unfettered'.

The same sort of thinking that makes TV execs. sign celebrities to multi-million pound contratcs, and then leaves them with no workable format struck again with the BBC.

Jealous of his viewing figures on Channel 4, the BBC poached him for some obscene amount, and now they don;t know what to do with him! This tame re-make if his 'So' heyday is handcuffed by BBC 'propriety', and Norton comes accross as some senile embarassing uncle who everyone has to be very British about, and ignore his attempts to shock and be the centre of attention.

Norton, Davina, what about Barrymore - maybe the licence fee can be wasted stopping the commercial channels from having him - even if they don't actually want him anyway?

Bet you a tenner he doesnt last long on BBC1 :-)

[andy-hughes]

Same deal as befor? You're on!

Why am I doing this? We both know you are on a winner!

Still, it is for charrideee, but I don't like to talk about it!

[4getmenot]

Ha Ha nah I was only joking. But still on for Davina McColl bet.

[gammaray]

They probably weren't watching!

Norton is one of the most tremendously overrated comics around. **** - hahahahahaha. yawn

[andy-hughes]

Absolutely - Davina, the clock is ticking, and I'm fondling a nice crisp tenner .....

[sickofmorons]

�53 million says neither of them lasts very long, and that little guy off Topgear gets axed from that dreadfull show on ITV!

[4getmenot]

I'm not taking the bet but I agree with you about the 5 o'clock show, he is brilliant in Top Gear, what has he done, but dont worry its not on anymore :-)
