We actually turn off the phone when Graham Norton is on. Other faves: Keeping Up Appearances, Monarch of the Glen (very very addictive.......) Parkinson, and the usual fodder (Changing Rooms, Ground Force, What Not to Wear).
A priest from our parish originally from England is frustrated that CR and GF are the most frequently aired shows. "People will think that's all we do there, dig in the garden and move furniture!"
Couple of funnies:
Alan Titchmarsh is my husband's personal hero. Anybody who can make that many wiseacre remarks to a guy who is MUCH bigger than he is and get away with it sans broken bones is a hero in his book. Charlie Dimmock scares him though: former football-player is unsettled by the idea of a woman who could take him in a fair fight.
Anyone who's seen Ground Force should see Titchmarsh's interview w/ Parkinson. You won't recognize him in a suit and tie. Great clip about the "stories" he writes.
Has anyone seen the Graham Norton clips on
www.bbcamerica.com? This guy is a real nut! The best is the "prank call gone wrong". Put your coffee down before watching it.
Favorite BBC-A quote: "We're
not your best friends, and we
will tell you."
I am SO glad to know I'm not the only one hooked on this channel!!!
