It would be good to see something new. ITV’s problem is they over-hype and over-complicate. Something simple that’s quietly launched might be the answer - the exact opposite of the nightly show they did a few years ago.

I’d love to see something like Ireland’s Late Late Show.

Not sure who I’d have present though. Mo Gilligan maybe. Graham Norton’s so good because it isn’t really about him.

He seems to get more out of his guests than Jonathan but that was always the case with the adult humour and topics whereas Jonathan would probably come across as disgusting if he initiated that sort of chat. Also, being a film buff, he wants to talk to his guests about the films they have been in, which isn't that important nowadays because people are less aware of the films being released. It's the same with music as since TOTP ended, people haven't a clue what's in the charts. A non-topical, traditional chat show is hard to do when the industries you rely on guests from have shrunk to the point that viewers aren't interested.
