Returning: The Graham Norton Show

By David Knox on September 30, 2009 / Filed Under Programming 11

gnBritain’s cheeky, sometimes camp talk-show host, Graham Norton is returning with a new fastracked series to ABC2.

Expect trademark Norton comedy monologues, celebrity chat, eccentric stories and characters, and home-grown weirdness.

Guests on episode one are Ricky Gervais, Ozzy Osbourne and Olivia Newton John, which airs in the UK on October 5th. Great line-up!

ABC2 will return The Graham Norton Show at 9:30pm Thursday October 22nd.

The second ep will feature David Mitchell, Robert Webb and Paolo Nutini.

    Any plans to have it put on ABC iView?
    I’m pretty sure it’s on the BBC equivalent in the UK so it wouldn’t be a copyright issue…?

    Yeah !!! I love Graham, fantastic show, always entertaining to see the American guests being slightly shocked at what he can say and do on television :)

    I was just wondering where his new show was, this morning. Great news. I think they show it on iview too.

    ‘Sometimes’ camp! Hehehe – pretty sure the only time he’s not camp is when he’s asleep!

    Great show – so happy its fastracked! Hilarious!

    Nope. Moves from BBC Two to BBC One, returns next week.

    David did this recently get cancelled? I read somewhere it had been axed…

    Thanks

    I still think the ABC could find room for this on ABC 1.

    lol@ dodge, I was about to reply and say the same thing!
    love Graham, the uncut version of his shows is on UKTV on Friday nights at the moment and its a crack up…cant wait for this.
    Interestingly, he was wrapped over the knuckles this week by the UK TV regulator for a lesbian joke he made on his show earlier this year.
    This new series marks his move to the much more mainstream BBC1 in the UK as well (previously on BBC2) so will be interesting to see if that move changes his style at all or tones him down somewhat. Saying that, I grew up in the UK and they love camp comedians over there.

    Sometimes camp? Try always! :-)
