Tonight comedy icon Dawn French takes centre stage when she appears in this week’s The Graham Norton Show on BBC Two.
Dawn reveals that she’s best mates with Kate Moss: “I love Kate Moss, she’s a top girl, fantastic. I’ve often thought that if Kate and I were side-by-side, I’d love aliens to land and say yes, women come in many shapes and sizes.”
On being a complete technophobe: “I’ve never touched a computer. Lenny [Henry] says by the time I’m ready, you’ll just be able to speak to them. I’m writing a book at the moment – with a pencil and paper. Read More »
Tonight Graham Norton plays host to Mr and Mrs Dustin Hoffman, making a rare TV appearance together in this week’s The Graham Norton Show on BBC Two.
Oscar-winning Hollywood movie star Dustin Hoffman, married to wife Lisa for 27 years, jokes about the secret of their marital success: “The only way a relationship can exist successfully is if on some fundamental level the man is scared shitless of his wife!”
Lisa talks about the reality of living with a movie star: “If Dustin’s working in a movie you get to live through the whole experience together. I loved it when he was doing Tootsie. I really missed Dorothy … she would come home from work and I had a friend!”
And Dustin reveals that his worst habit is “farting in bed, she (Lisa) calls it microscopic shit.” Read More »
This week, Graham Norton talks nudity with EastEnders star and Carry On veteran, actress Barbara Windsor.
Appearing on on BBC Two’s The Graham Norton Show, Barbara, whose only nude scene became an iconic film moment, reveals that she’s always regretted turning down a repeat performance in real life:
“I was offered the very first edition of Penthouse, but I said no. I regret it because any pictures of me are silly sexy, I’m always a joke. The thing is, they offered me Penthouse but my husband at the time said I couldn’t do it. It would have been nice to have had a really good, sexy picture of me.
“The only nude scene I ever did on film was an accident. You weren’t allowed to show anything in those days.” Read More »

NOOOO!! Just when you thought the Eurovision couldn’t get any cheesier, they go and create a Eurovision DANCE Contest.
This new Europe wide cheese fest won’t be hosted by the wrinkly Terry Wogan, no, the camper than camp Graham Norton will be taking his place.
Does anyone remember when Graham Norton was actually funny? I look fondly back to his days on Channel 4 and his shows that had my sides splitting with laughter. I wonder what ever happened to that old granny he used to pull out of the audience week after week? In comparison, his recent move to light TV shows seems a bit lame.
Someone needs to tell Graham that he may be making buckets of money, but he is really wasting his talent…..unless of course he actually wants to become the next Vernon Kay?
Fifty years after the launch of the Eurovision Song Contest, a brand new Euro-show is set to sashay onto BBC One this autumn – take your partners for the sequinned splendour of the very first Eurovision Dance Contest.
The BBC will be the host for the event at BBC Television Centre, London and the viewing public will be the judges for the spectacular competition, featuring dancing couples from 13 countries across Europe, including: Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Ukraine and of course the UK.
