Small Talk: Get Flipped by the Red Chair

  • Start Topic

Recommended Posts

The Small Talk topic is for:

 

  • Introductions
  • Off-topic chatter
  • Having virtual tea with forum buddies

 

This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:

 

  1. Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about
  2. Look for an existing topic that matches or fits
  3. If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!

 

Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to):

 

  • Character topics
  • Episode topics
  • Season topics
  • Spoiler topics
  • Speculation topics
  • In the Media topics
  • Favourite X topics
  • ...you get the idea

 

Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

Shiny! I'll just get comfortable on the red couch and wait for the other guests to arrive. Where's my drink?

I really do think we should be drinking while watching the show and while commenting on it. It's in the spirit of it all.

I'm glad there are people are coming into this forum! Graham's chat show is too entertaining and funny not to have a forum on it.

The show returns April 4th in the UK!

Probably belongs in the air dates topic, but that's locked.

 

Is anyone in the US getting a version of BBCAmerica that is transmitting this show?  It keeps showing up two weeks out, but then it vanishes.  BBCAmerica.com is no help (I'd leave an icily worded question there is there was a place to do so).  It hasn't been on since January 2 - is GN having issues with BBCA?  Does anyone have any info, even a rumor?  We are missing good guests!

TVGuide at this instant in time says episodes on Feb 7 and 14, but my Xfinity Guide says no.  Epguides.com says there are four episodes that were transmitted in January, which we haven't seen over here, number 1 position on the couch being successively Meryl Streep, David Tennant, Sir David Attenborough, & Dame Judi Dench.  Futoncritic says all of these aired in the US (not true) and that the sixteenth episode went out January 31 (again not true; futoncritic supposedly lists the British transmission dates, but these are also wrong as the show goes out on BBC1 on Fridays).  Futoncritic also says season 16 has completed, season 17 has yet to be ordered, and the series is on hiatus or fate to be determined - again not true as the program's page on the BBC website says there is a new episode this Friday (Feb 6).

 

So BBCAmerica - what the hell?

The rep who answered my email was Robert from Viewer Relations. He did not provide any further info and the email came from a Do Not Reply email address. My husband wants me to email them again to emphasize how much we miss the show but I think I will just go to YouTube also.

I should note that the Contact Us link I used asked my age group. Maybe I should have checked off a younger age range(in case Graham's fans are skewing too old!)

Well, I finally got a reply and it's slightly different, but still not encouraging.  

 

... Unfortunately we are unable to provide with the information you are requesting.  At present The Graham Norton Show is not airing on the channel.

 

 

Emphasis mine.

 

Which, duh.  My question was basically "I don't see this on the schedule, if and when will it be on again?"  But the "At present" could be encouraging.

At present, my mum and I have been catching up via YouTube.  I prefer not to bootleg, but at present, this is our only option.  At present, we have watched through Jamie Dornan and Julie Waters.

 

At present, I really want to watch this Indian Summers series.  

 

ETA:  At present, Indian Summers is on the Masterpiece schedule!!!!

From the S16.E14 thread:

That second link is titled "Graham Norton gearing up for US move thanks to Harvey Weinstein":

"As a company we're bringing Graham Norton to the United States. Graham is just so perceptive in making the best of everything.

"He gets the best artists from around the world. He's been on BBC America before but I think we're probably going to do something different this time."
