    @Mr Darcy Big guests aside, it’s a UK show for UK people! Kills me we don’t have our own! The only show that showcases live music is Ten Late News for gods sake! Celebs like Mark Wallberg (prob spelt wrong) have to go on “Sunday Night”.

    p.s the couch with Miriam Margoyles and Will.i.am was excellent.

    Jayden15 –

    The good thing about Norton is the “Big” names he manages to get on his couch. When you have a good couch it’s brilliant. Rove catered many a show to US celebs who spruiked their publicity for channel 10 shows or movies ad nauseum. At least with Norton, whilst they sell the product, they have fun at the same time. As far as people not known outside the UK. Ever heard of google? Give it 2 years and those people will be known here. Or you could just watch ABC1 or 2 every so often.

    What was odd is that, ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ which stars Danny Devito and is the funniest series on TV wasn’t mentioned once.

    Love that show, love Danny on it. And I know he loves doing it. Hence why he does it.

    He’s a remarkable man. All he’s done, does and dos.

    Thought it odd that show wasn’t mentioned.

    Anyways Graham Norton show is tops. How does it do ratings wise? It’s always great. I hope it does well, but have no idea.

    There haven’t been many people on the show who I haven’t heard of. The episode with will.i.am and Miriam Margolyes was hilarious.

    I would love to see and Aussie talk show similar to this on a Saturday Night, especially if Tim Campbell hosted it.

    Channel 10 have ruined Graham Norton for me with far to many adverts & now they are splitting his compilation into two episodes.

    Return Graham Norton back to the ABC where it belongs.

    Channel 10 you are not worthy for having Graham Norton.

    Ren: They don’t have rights to earlier seasons.

    @jayden15 – just from the last few shows, have you really not heard of Cameron Diaz, David Attenborough, Jon Hamm, Charlize Theron, Katy Perry, Ross Noble,…?

    They should screen episodes from older seasons during the break. There are some cracker episodes that not everyone has seen and it would help build a regular audience.

    I miss rove! We need an Aussie talk show! Not some bloody import with people no one knows outside of the UK!

    Thanks David, I can’t believe series 11 is over with already, that was very quick. I find it very odd that the compilation show is being split, and moving nights. I fear that the first ep won’t rate well and we wont see the second ep the following week.

    What a weak episode to end the series with. Danny DeVito dominated the conversation. I don’t even remember who the female guest was. First time I have switched off halfway.

    I don’t know why TEN are splitting them up. ABC2 used to show them in whole. Seems weird, but anyway the compilation eps are ok.
