Turning to chat show hosts, another big thumbs up for Graham Norton from me, I really like him.
Many moons ago, when he was a relatively young man I confess to liking Jonathan Ross I thought he was sharp and witty and then as time went on and he got his own chat show, he increasingly got on my nerves with his salacious comments to his female guests and the fact that he would continually interrupt whoever he was interviewing and talk about himself, his own domestic set up, his children, his animals. I stopped watching him in the end, because I really wanted him to shut up and listen to whoever he was talking to.
I was never a fan of Michael Parkinson either, there was something about the the way he interviewed some women, not all, that I didn't like, I know he's supposed to be the definitive chat show host, but not for me, that would be Graham, but these days I'm not drawn to listening to that genre of programme.
