The first series of So Television's panel series, 'Alexander Armstrong's Big Ask' premiers on the Dave channel on Monday 6 February at 9pm. The first episode features Graham Norton, Sandi Toksvig and Marcus Brigstocke who do all the work as they not only answer questions but make them up too. Future episodes will star: Jimmy Carr, Clive Anderson, Mark Watson, Robert Webb and Russell Kane.

 

The Graham Norton show was nominated in The Best Talk Show category at the 2012 National Television Awards which were held in London's O2 arena. The Norton talk-fest was up against Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and assorted Loose Women. It was C4's Mr Carr who went home with the prize. But it's not the winning...

 

Set deep inside a video games console, the show follows the off and on-screen lives of the game stars. You've never seen anything like this before.

 

Graham Norton picked up the Comedy Entertainment Personality Award again at The British Comedy Awards on Friday night.

Graham was presented the award on stage at a comedy show he was hosting in Birmingham by Sarah Millican, who also won a major honour - The Queen of Comedy 2011.

Graham won his first British Comedy Award back in 1998.

BBC2 has commissioned a series of six Sarah Millican shows for 2012.  The programmes will be produced at Media City, Salford in January and transmit on the network later in the year.

The series will be made in association with Sarah Millican’s Chopsy Productions.

The Millican Show will be the first production from So Television’s new Caledonian division, So Scotland.  The division will be based in Glasgow and will be the centre for development and production out of Scotland.

BBC America has ordered 13 of the Graham Norton hosted panel show. Would You Rather will see celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg, Cyndi Lauper and Stanely Tucci debate the pros and cons of odd predicaments. The show is currently filming in New York City in front of a live studio audience and will premiere on November 5 as part of BBC America’s Ministry of Laughs comedy block.

The Dave Channel has announced a six programme commission of Alexander Armstrong's Big Ask; So Television's panel show co production with Black Dog.  A one off special of the show aired on Dave at the end of May and it worked so well the Channel has now asked for a full series.  The premise of the show is simple: participants not only have to answer questions they have to make them up too.  The upcoming series will be taped in October and is slated to run in early 2012. Free tickets to watch our new, comedy panel show, “Alexander Armstrong's Big Ask” now available.  Apply to SRO Audiences http://www.sroaudiences.com/

Graham Norton won yet another Bafta for, "Best Entertainment Performance" at the glittering ceremony in London's Grosvenor Hotel on Sunday night. Unfortunately, he failed to do the double as The Graham Norton Show was beaten to the Bafta for, "Best Entertainment Show" by ITV's The Cube.

Graham Norton has earned the highly impressive total of two nominations for this year's Bafta Television Awards. He's nominated in the Best Entertainment Performance category for the Graham Norton Show where he faces up against Stephen Fry, Harry Hill and Rob Brydon.

The Norton show is also nominated in the Best Entertainment Show category along with X Factor, Have I Got News For you, and The Cube. Graham was last doubly nominated back in 2001 when he duly walked away with Baftas for himself and his show So Graham Norton. Will history repeat? Norton is also presenting Bafta 2011, the most prestigious event in the television industry calendar, and it all happens at London's Grosvenor House Hotel on Sunday May 22nd.
