After viewers blasted the BBC for an on air promo plugging Graham Norton during Doctor Who, the UK host restores the imbalance.

Recently during an episode of Doctor Who in the UK, fans were furious with a BBC promotion for The Graham Norton Show.
Viewers weren’t happy their beloved Who was being infested with on-screen clutter regardless of what the show was for, and they rang the BBC in droves of protest.
In response to the complaints, Norton has now restored the imbalance with his own inimitable style.
A new Graham Norton Show is currently airing on ABC2 at 9:30pm on Thursdays.

I must have been in Wales when I watched that episode, because I didn’t notice it…
Belinda he “ruined” the last few minutes of the Time of Angels (the ep we get here in Australia this week) fans were mainly upset because it was the cliff-hanger for the first two-parter for the 11th doctor!!! It was the “Over the Rainbow” promo and believe me the chatrooms went wild about it!!
Interestingly it was only the English that got the little dancing Graham Norton – friends and who fans in Wales wondered what all the fuss was all about!!
The episode the trail appeared in was “The Time of Angels” which is the one that’s coming up on ABC this weekend. Though of course, the ABC wouldn’t be so foolish as to commit the same mistake.
Does anyone know which episode he “ruined”?
Speaking of Graham Norton. ONE’s Thursday Night Live has copied one of his segments. When Graham has someone from the audience sit in the red chair and if the story is boring or whatever Graham pulls a lever and the chair rolls back. Thursday Night Live does the exact same thing, with the exception the chair is green.
Love Graham Norton and his show is usually “laugh out loud” funny …
Aussie “commedians” could learn a hell of a lot from him …
Jack!
It was actually a promo for “Over the Rainbow”, the contest to find a Dorothy for a new stage production of Wizard of Oz.
Love it, guess the ABC won’t show it then?
This wasn’t the first time GN intruded on Doctor Who…UK viewers watching first episode “Rose” of the new series were perplexed by the sound of GN’s voice from a TV show he was recording at the time leaching through to the DW broadcast! He definitely deserves to be exterminated! 😉
Shame we don’t get that level of complaints about the ones on ABC2.
This episode -will air on May 6 on the ABC and in November on UKTV . It will also feature new Who companion Karen Gillan!!!
haha. That was great.
Now thats really funny but i really really really really hate those promo’s that screw up the credits !
Charlie Brooker on “You Have Been Watching,” his outrage at this being done to Doctor Who was quite amusing.
