    I imagine I will find it quite tough.

    Kind of why I like these programs though, makes me think and appreciate how lucky I am.

    Graham Norton explained it on his radio show this morning - Gallagher didn't want to be interviewed so he wasn't...

    When you think back to the media-generated rivalry between Blur and Oasis in the early 90's, Noel Gallagher playing with Gorillaz is a bit like Mick Jagger joining the Beatles!

    Message for Chilco...

    So you've banned me from the thread?

    I was having a perfectly reasonable discussion.

    It was him that made a personal attack on my character and refused to back it up.

    Is it okay because it's him? Genuine question.

    I fail to see how I was at fault for that exchange, I didn't start it... but I'm expected to let that lie?

    What a loada ****e.

    I've forgotten so many times that Graham has a decent radio show on Saturdays that I've given up trying to remember. I also forget Danny Baker's on Radio 5 at roughly the same time. <doh>

    Hmm, yeah. But they would never have accepted him. ;)

    I love Graham Norton as he's so irreverent but especially on the radio he seems to get along with all his guests and to genuinely have fun :)

    No he's certainly not. That's if you count sitting through parts of an episode and deciding it's not for you. That was GoTs. As far as Breaking Bad is concerned, I don't really feel myself pulled to it enough to watch it. I've seen the opening 5 minutes a few times, where Bryan Cranston [great actor] drives his Winnebago on desert roads in his underpants. Each time I've noticed myself thinking that I'd rather be doing something else. That's not a good sign. I've heard all about how he is diagnosed with cancer and becomes a drug dealer to give his family a good living after he's gone. I've heard about how everybody intriguingly roots for him even though he does nasty things to further his ends. And still I'm unmoved.

    Truth is, I have a soft rule. Almost no crime drama, of whatever quality, will ever pass in front of my eyes again. I've seen a lifetime's worth and I'm just not curious about who did what outside the law and to whom anymore. I make one exception - Sherlock Holmes. And that doesn't include the Cumberman. I'm over that now, The novelty has well and truly worn off.
    Now dramas about adventure, exploration and discovery, I'm the first one to sit down and watch. Selected historical dramas, realistic future dramas, human dramas [no, definitely not Eastenders, Corry St], and I'm there. And I love the quirky ones too. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, for example, had me absolutely captured. I appreciate that that sort of thing doesn't appeal to everybody.

    There was one moment with Jessica Chastain on TV which I thought hit a nerve, but she laughed through it, while playfully telling him off. I notice that older women on his TV show especially take a liking to him, though Diane Keaton was really pushing the boat out last time. But Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Miriam Margoyles, Meryl Streep, etc.. all love him to bits. I guess because he's very good company and harmless. That said, I don't think I've seen any guest for years actively show that they don't like him, as he tends to be able to draw them all out of their shells.

    On the rare occasions I've caught his radio show I've really enjoyed it. You'd think I'd remember to tune in, but no. <doh>

    I don't watch Keith Lemon, however I've just watched him and Paddy McGuiness "do" Dirty Damcing. Very funny.

    He's naturally positive. Even when he's being negative.

    You mean that even his negatives are more upbeat than many peoples outright positives. :)

    Exactly.

    He can laugh at himself too; that's important.
