[edit] "After Graham's short monologue"...
Hi, I took this section out when I was reworking the article. I notice now it's been re-included. I think I should justify why I took it out in the first place and see what people think. Here's the paragraph again for reference (added by 69.90.207.69):
After Graham's short monologue, he always introduces two guests. If there usually is a third guest, they are usually introduced later in the show. If the first two guests are connected in some way (for example, Dustin Hoffman and his wife), they are the only ones introduced at the start. As for musical guests, it gets a bit complicated. The bands are always introduced at the end of the show and are always interviewed during the cool down. As for solo performers, some such as Enrique Iglesias come on stage from the very start. Others,such as Gareth Gates come on stage about 10 minutes before there performance for a quick interview. Finally, there have been a couple ,Mika for one, who just perform at the end of the credits and participate in the Cooldown section of the program.
The whole paragraph appears to be about show running-orders – i.e. production-level detail – I really don't think such detail is important. In fact, including too much trivia in articles is often what reduces their quality. It makes it too difficult for readers of the subject to follow and glean information from. Personally I don't see why it matters when guests are introduced. Perhaps, the number of guests is useful and when musical performers are interviewed – since this is sometimes only in the cooldown – (however, for the latter there doesn't appear to be much of a rule, so why try to make one?). The other thing that might be worthy of reintegrating is examples of the musical guests, however, there is already a complete list further down the page. Kevin Judson 23:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Just to say, if there are no objections, I'll edit in light of what I've said above. Kevin Judson 02:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Graham Norton show.JPG
Image:The Graham Norton show.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] G.Norton on BBC-America
There is a slight error regarding the show's first series run on BBC-America. No episodes were omitted, but the sequence was not in the same order (newer episodes shown first, and then the the older episodes). If there is no objection, I will delete the error.

[edit] Recent Corrections
Please do not remove airdates or links. The airdates that were removed have been confirmed by BBC.co.uk and Radiotimes as being aired at that date and It is also confirmed that the final episode of the year is an hour-long Christmas special. As for the link, this is a link to the American broadcaster BBCAmerica who broadcasts the show. This link was put in a few months ago due to the early reveal of the episode guide on their site. This site is not useless as it also serves as a link to the US carrier of the Graham Norton Show.69.28.232.224 (talk) 20:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)samusek2
- Well, can you please cite the new airdates? Also, it is probably not best to talk as if the event has passed (Note: Episode 12 was shown on a Wednesday (Boxing Day) and was extended to 1 hour.) as the event hasn't happened yet. I'll re-write that in the future tense. ~~ [Jam][talk] 20:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Plus, the BBC America link needs putting in some context. Please either write it into the article, or find somewhere else for it. ~~ [Jam][talk] 20:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
