TV matters: The Graham Norton Show

Graham Norton's back - and he's parked his tanks firmly on Jonathan Ross's lawn.

Mark Lawson, The Guardian, 8th October 2009

The Graham Norton Show - Series 6, Episode 1 Preview

The quasi-anarchic chat show switches channels from BBC2 to BBC1. Which to me seems less of a jarring move than moving Norton's antics to a Monday night, when they'd seem far more suitable nearer the end of the week - although I suppose that would then create a clash with Jonathan Ross.

Scott Matthewman, The Stage, 5th October 2009

Although Graham Norton was in his finest form about five years ago on Channel 4, his squawky chat show moves tonight to BBC One. The first guests are that rare combination of the incomprehensible and the ageless, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, chat show perennial Ricky Gervais (who was on Jonathan Ross's show just a month ago) and ballad mistress Olivia Newton-John.

The Telegraph, 3rd October 2009
