TV: Graham Norton Show
I resisted watching the Graham Norton Show when it returned four it's fourth series a couple of weeks ago. I'm normally a stalwart fan. This series I found it difficult to immerse myself in it. I suspect it has something to do with work and not being quite as involved as I have been previously.
However, it appeared that the Sky+ box had other ideas and recorded the thing anyway. Consequently I ended up watching the Graham Norton Show Uncut from last week featuring crazy Cyndi Lauper and adorable Jennifer Saunders.
Lots of entertaining fluff between Lauper, Saunders and Norton (the section featuring the focus group was unexpectedly fun) and confirmation from Saunders that Fox really are going to remake Absolutely Fabulous in the US. Unlike what Variety were saying on 6 October, Saunders says she won't be involved in the production process.

Have they changed the night of the week it's on I wonder? I think the BBC are still wondering what to do with Graham Norton; I'm not convinced he's the presenter they thought he was when they paid so much to put him under contract at the beeb.
