Marieke van Essen Well sit down and open a bottle of wine ... or two. Because when you start watching this, you just can't stop or get enough. When artists create movies, albums, plays or books, they usually have to go on a tour to promote it, right? I say 'have to' because this process seems extreeemly boring to me. So many journalists have been asking the same bloody questions, and now you have to go answer them on TV. Very uncomfortable, because...really the host usually doesn't care, really you've just spent so much time of your life on this and you have been focussing on something else for months now, and reallly you don't want to wear the elaborate clothes... ugggh. That doesn't bode well for a show trying to promote shit.Enter the Graham Norton Show!The Grahman Norton Show Team knows this, it seems. So they have gone with a unique angle: 1. An actually interested, hilariously blabbermouth host. (quite gay of course). 2. Ply the guests with drink.(Although 'denied' on Stephen Colbert, we all know this happens. Britania rules the Waves! ...Waves of Wine that is ;) ) 3. Briefly mention what you have to... and then go on to the celebrities': funny Tweets, illegal exploits, shoe laces, circumcision that never happened, insults of other celebrities, wanking off soldiers in parks, looking like otters and then get said celebrities to pose on photos like some other otters, duel with light sabers, ride a unicycle, break dance.... For short, this show is as great as it is because it's fun for everybody involved: the host, the team, the public, the guests, and people watching at home.And this from someone who doen't care about celebrities...

studioAT I don't know how the producers/bookers of this show keep doing it. Every week they seem to get the best guests. OK, so I know they're only on to promote their book/film/album, but at least they're on our screens.It's a bit of a hit and miss chat show at times, largely because all the guests are on at once, sat awkwardly together. Sometimes this makes for a better show when they're all bantering with each other, but sometimes you get one guest who clearly is the oddball out.Norton's charm adds to the proceedings, but smartly it's all about the guests. For week on week A list celeb interviews, this show is the only place to go.

Jackson Booth-Millard I used to love the host of this new chat show on occasion in his Channle 4 programmes, So and V, and being against the likes of Jonathan Ross and Parkinson at the time, it was interesting to see this try and rival. BAFTA winning, and British Comedy Award nominated Graham Norton here gets his own regular style chat show, no camp and over the top sexual comedy involved, there would be the occasional breakaway, but that's all. The show would star with a few jokes about recent events and the guests featuring, two or three guests are brought in to talk about and promote/plug their recent venture in film, music, television or whatever else, including past career, there would be a musical performance by a singer or band, and the final part I will explain soon.

My favourite part of the show (technically a main reason for me to watch) is the red chair (originally called "That's All We've Got Time For), where a member of the studio audience sits down, obviously Graham finds out their name, where their from and what they do, and they have a short story or anecdote to tell that has to be interesting and funny, and if they start to bore Graham and the audience he has a lever by his side to pull and eject them backwards off the chair, if they do have a good story they are allowed to walk. Very good!

Tammy L. Griffin-Newman Im an American girl who watches every Graham show aired. I DVR them ALL. He has become my favorite 60min of every day. I have never laughed so hard at any talk show in my 44 years. The love of my life promised me that when we set a date to marry, we WILL be in Grahams studio at one of his shows.Love this guy and I promise that you will too. I rented his Best of the Graham Norton Show from Netflix. My sister and brother-in-law were visiting from Fla. and had never even heard of Graham. After they watched the video they said they were going to check and see if they get the BBC in the south. I have made fans out of them. I hope they can share the laughs with their friends as I have. Keep up the fantastic work Graham, and I look forward to seeing you in person on my honeymoon.
