I ask whilst watching the Christmas special of The Graham Norton Show. With over a week to go I feel that it is strange that the Christmas special won’t be going out the Friday before Christmas. I see the Jonathan Ross Christmas Show also airs tomorrow on ITV. Is this usual and am I misrembering?
Well Graham will be back on New Year's Eve for his usual special edition
I think they feel talk shows do not pull in the big Christmas ratings. Back in the 70s, Michael Parkinson used to be on every Christmas time. 80s saw Des O'Connor hosting a lot of Christmas night talk shows - but that landscape has changed.
