The Bigger Picture with Graham Norton

When he left Channel 4 wasn't he supposed to have left this sort of thing behind and go onto new challenges?

Obviously with the BBC finding it very hard to find a 'clean' format for him to host, they've decided to go back to his usual stuff.

It reminded me of 'What's the Problem? with Anne Robinson' myself, a bit of a mess where you didn't know what angle they were taking.

Personally I would have prefered a repeat of Jack Dee live at the Apollo or One Foot in the Grave! Why did they stop the repeat series half way through anyway!

I liked the programme, reminded me a bit of Have I Got News for You or Mock the Week. Very funny, got good guests aswell - Jo Brand, Richard Wilson and the columnist in the Sun.

I thought that it was extremely funny. I was laughing at the space shuttle/AA joke.

Well done Graham, and welcome back to risky telly!

Mr Norton is back! Fantastic, I was roaring out loud at some bits.

There were some very funny gags in there, the 'Super Cad He Sha gged a Domestic' line was fantastic

Yes, it was all very good but aren't we forgetting the BBC keeps doing these type of shows. Not to mention most of them feature Jo Brand - who, don't get me wrong is a funny person but we don't need to see her all the time.

I agree with Andrew and would have liked to have seen a repeat of One Foot In The Grave where we see Richard Wilson doing what he did best instead of his 'autocue' gags tonight or something similar.

This is clearly Michael Grade and his 'no more repeats' campaign, but we don't need lots of different shows based on the same thing.

Didn't see all of it - but it definitely had all the hallmarks of "scripted spontaneity" - and it didn't strike me that the people reading the script had written it...

The makings of an interesting show - but reading autocue so that it looks like you aren't is a skill. (Presenting long sequences without it is an art.)

As someone pointed out in the Radio Times, the question mark should be at the end of that sentence.

Loved the show. It was made by SO Television, the same people who made So and V Graham Norton.

Hmmmm... funny that

Well, Graham does own So Television, makers of So..., V..., Snow..., and The Graham Norton Effect....

Only 2.4 million tuned in, almost a million less than watched a repeat of One Foot in the Grave 2 weeks ago!
