Is anyone watching "V Graham Norton" ?????? Graham Norton is pulling Sheffield to pieces!! He was talking about the Python that's gone missing here from a garage and he said "People have garages in Sheffield?" and then went on about all the cars been pinched. Then... he said... the python can eat anything, "Well, not surprising as he comes from Sheffield and is called Tracey!" LOL. I found it funny but quite niggling at the same time!! Just wondered if anyone else was watching??

Yeah, I just saw that! Made me laugh, yet feel offended!

But hey, lets look on the brightside, it gets Sheffield a mention and name on the map, rather than liverpool (scouse jokes!)!!!

i really cant stand GN recently, its like all his sketches are based on utter tripe

its people like GN who give us a bad reputation :/

graham norton -tripe? here here!!!

Good to see Sheffield get a mention on the national press/TV :P

Makes a first ;)

I saw it. I think he is funny as hell. He is the only person on TV who doesnt give a monkeys about what he says or who he offends. Lighten up a little, he's really funny!

I did like him - but his show's format is old and boring now. The producers are squeezing every last drop of humour out of it and I think it's finally "empty".

Well it was only a bit of fun, i supose knocking Sheffield is the latest trend in comedians chuckle books, might be a case of knocking the usuall Liverpool or Glasgow is wearing thin.

Graham Norton used to be funny - see his earlier work as Father Noel Furlong on Father Ted. Now he is just sad and seedy.

Who cares what that unfunny [edited] thinks of Sheffield? Not me, thats for sure.

Why bother posting then?! :(

To reiterate the fact that I don't care.

Lol :lol: I guess there's some logic there ;) Although if you really didn't care then you would have never bothered reading past the first few sentences :lol:

Do you call all homosexual people "fags" - if so why?

Why not? Why call an Irishman a paddy? Or a Scotsman a jock? I don't want to conform with the PC brigades set of rules and ideals.

Fag is generally accepted as a hateful term, whereas although "Paddy" and "Jock" are not always liked, they are generally seen as being harmless.

But I don't like Graham Norton, so "fag" is quite apt.

:( now you know how i feel every time i get the [edited] jokes about liverpool and merseyside... and the harry enfield skits..

nevermind eh at least Liverpool won the European Capital of Culture :)

I totally agree: We get the BBC here in the states on cable tv and GN has a prime time slot every single bloody night. When I was in my teens and I laughed at Monty Python and the Goodies I considered those shows as the best comedy in the history of TV. Maybe GN would have been funny back in then in 1975 but these days I think he is just a complete idiot. I see people in the audience laughing??!!? Is that what British humour is all about these days. Maybe I've been away too long, but I think slap stick humour went out in the 70s. The sexual jokes and innuendos are ridiculous and his guests should be embarassed to be on his show. I have a broad mind and I am not offended by much so don't think that I am a dreary old house wife. I just think that the BBC should stop paying GN for his complete drivel.
What the hell is that fluffy bunny telephone. That's not even remotely funny. But that's my opinion okay: thank you

His show in the UK barely gets more than 3 million viewers - a piffling amount.

His 'humour' has been done before, back in the last 80's with Julian Clary. It was mildly amusing then, but not now.

Obviously he is not considered funny in the UK, so the BBC has farmed him out to the USA via cable network tv. I'm not sure what they think of him over here. Risque maybe; funny? Nah. :?
For great chat show entertainment I am watching re-runs of Parkinson. They must be old shows, but I still like old Parkie. Is he still on TV? Now he's funny right?

BO Selecta! sorts me out now..


Catherine Zeta Jones - "Such an Idyat!"

The python's split before the show got tired and boring. maybe Graham Norton could learn a thing or two from them.

Graham Norton is not on the BBC.

His show goes out on Channel Four.

Here in Florida, GN is on a cable network called "BBC America". Sorry that I haven't had the pleasure of your 7 or so channels on British tv for quite a long time. When I lived in Sheffield back in the 80s, Channel 4 was actually relatively new. Right now BBC America is on channel 207. That gives you an idea how many channels I have to keep up with. It's hard!!!! So BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel 4 and channel 5. Woo Hoo. Your remote control must have died of boredom. Zzzzzzzzz

So SCUSE ME Andy for not remembering Channel "piddling" Four and for getting my channels mixed up. GN was obviously so bad for Channel Four that they too had to get him out of the country. Take him back please and put him on the Home Shopping Channel. He'd be pretty good at selling handbags and stilletos to pot heads. He's still so not funny that you'd have to have been smoking dope to laugh at his jokes.

So Andy, it doesn't frigging matter what channel sent him here, He STILL sucks.
:x
Send us some decent programs why don't you. American TV sucks too, so I look forward to some good english stuff sometimes. And they give us GN????? Come on, you cannot be serious!

Funke88, you have over 200 channels and you watch Graham Norton?????????

I knew US tv was cr*p but not that bad. You poor, poor, thing.

Sad isn't it :(
I still enjoy British TV after all this time. Right now I am enjoying Jonathon Creek, Red Cap, The Office and Coupling. I also like What Not to Wear and Changing Rooms. American TV has copied most of these reality shows but they aren't as good. They did an American version of Cracker, originally with Robbie Coltrain. The US version was absolute crap. Somethings just cannot transfer.
I still miss the humour a lot. BBC America also has Eastenders. Now that's sad!

What about the American versions of Men Behaving Badly and Absoloutly fabulous, they were terrible werent' they? I hate how they took Who's Line Is It Anyway and completely ruined it aswell

I totally agree. That's why I really enjoy English programs.
I guess I miss the accent too. They actually show the English version of "Who's line is it anyway" all the time. Same comedians though, different host.
I watch re-runs and old shows of anything I can get from across the pond. Except GN. Sorry all you Graham Norton fans. Somebody out there must like him. The Americans like him!.
Oh well, no accounting for taste!

BBC America is supposed to comprise of the cream of British Television, to show what we can produce.

To find out that the BBC are buying the show from C4 to disgrace us even further to the Yanks only makes further mockery of the licence fee system.

We may not pay a licence fee but we sure get clobbered with flipping adverts every 5 minutes.
They don't understand the humor anyway let alone the accent.
BBC America is purely to keep us transplants happy and missing home.

Did you pick up the attitude out there or did you take it with you??????

With over 200 channels I would simply turn over to something else if I didn't like GN. No point in getting narky about it and spitting out the dummy (or comforter if you are in the States). Andy was only pointing out the TV channel and there wasn't really any need to be so over the top in response. I guess someone's been watching too much US TV with couples fighting on it. Never mind, come back to Sheffield and lighten up....

Sorry:cry:
I apologise, I was on my soap box and couldn't get off.

I just found out that capitals means that you are shouting. Oops, I didn't mean to shout. Oh hell, I keep reading what I wrote an unfortunately I can't take it back now. I'm a bit embarrassed about being a whiney, spoilt [edited]. Sorry again. I'm going to another forum now. I'll be nice from now on.

Tell me what is funny about a pervert on T.V. using sexual innuendoes in order to get a response, this person is about as funny as toothache.

Get off it Hal, he's not a pervert. In your religion, your god made him so he must be acceptable in the sight of your lord.

and if God created Man in his own image, God help us! Or not, as the case may be.
