Best Graham Norton show ever

[purple_bug]

David Tennant was on the Graham Norton show tonight. He was also on Dead Ringers, and I shall be rewatching that sketch just as soon as it's up on Youtube (most likely tomorrow). "Hmm, New Labour... that's weird."
But yes, Graham Norton. They had Jo Brand too, but I don't like her very much so we'll gloss over her.
They had an excellent thing where they'd set up a police box next to the London Eye and made it make toilet noises at passers-by. Graham then said there was a phone in the 'TARDIS' and proceeded to call it. Someone next to the bus-stop went to answer it.


Man: Hello?
Graham: Hello, this is Graham Norton. I'm with Doctor Who, and he's misplaced his TARDIS. Have you seen a TARDIS?
Man: ...No.
Graham: What's your name, sir?
Man: Alex.
Graham: Alex. So, you haven't seen a TARDIS?
Alex: No.
Graham: Where are you now, Alex?
Alex: I'm in London. By the London Eye.
Graham: Where am I speaking to you?
Alex: In - in a box.
Graham: What colour's the box, Alex?
Alex: Blue.
Graham: This box - did you notice any writing on it?
Alex: Uh, hang on...
*Alex opens the door, looks up at the words*
Alex: It says 'Police Public Call Box'.
Graham: Uh-huh. So it's a blue police public call box.
Alex: That's correct, yeah.
Graham: Would you almost describe it as TARDIS-like?
Alex: *long pause* Yeah.
*the audience has, by this point, lost it*
Graham: Are you busy at the moment?
Alex: No. I've just been shopping.
*bus pulls up to bus-stop outside TARDIS*
Graham: Were you waiting for a bus?
Alex: Yeah.
Graham: What number was it?
Alex: The 77.
*the bus is number 77*
Graham: Okay. I'll keep an eye out.
*bus pulls away*
Graham: Well, I think you might have a bit of a wait... Right, Alex, since you've got a bit of time on your hands, we're going to take you on a little journey through time and space, and... *turns to David* What kind of space stuff do I...?
David: Space-time continuum, and stuff like that.
Graham: Through the space-time continuum and stuff like that. Do you see a red button?
Alex: Yeah.
Graham: Push the red button, and hold on tight to the handle.
Alex: Um, okay.
*light on TARDIS starts flashing, dematerialisation sound starts up*
Graham: Hold on, this might be a bit of a bumpy ride...
*forklift truck pulls into view*
*various profanities from Alex as the TARDIS is lifted off the ground and the forklift drives off*
Graham: See you in a little while! *hangs up, can't stop laughing* It might take a while for him to get here - that forklift truck is going in completely the wrong direction! We may never see him again!

They also had David's initial line to some of the sex extras from Casanova ("Hello, my name is David, I'm going to take you from behind") put in an ad in a gay men's magazine, and it got one response. The guy said something along the lines of "You be the Doctor and I'll be the Master." :oD He asked for a pic - they sent him one of David hamming it up, the guy sent back "Stop wasting my time, wanker." David called the guy, got the answering service and said "This is the Doctor, you had your chance, you blew it!"
Graham also misquoted the 'chat up line' as "Hello David, I'm going to take you from behind." David then pointed out that it's "Hello, my name is David..." otherwise it has a very different meaning.


I was in fits the whole way through, I've never enjoyed a Graham Norton thing so much.

I just thought you should know that the car on your profile is not a Volkswagen Beetle, but in fact is a Citroen 2CV (http://www.2cvimports.com/inventory.cfm?p=3&id=90)(stands for Deux Chevaux, or Two Horses). It's a French-made vehicle that was insanely popular in the UK in the 50's and 60's, and is now a popular collector's vehicle. My now ex-husband in England owned one. He drove it until it literally fell apart. I rather liked that car- simple and durable, and really great gas mileage because it barely weighed anything at all!

Oh yes, I see the double upside-down V now. Hmm.
*does Google Image search*

Oh, and hi! Welcome to the unlocked portion of my LJ! There's not much, just fic... and this, cos I wanted to share.

I've added you as a friend, if that's ok. You seem fun! And, I really miss the UK. I lived there for just under 3 years, and traveled quite a bit while I was there, including a couple of visits to Scotland.

Yeah, that's fine! I seem to be making a fair few new friends lately, and since I know you vaguely (ie saw your name mentioned a couple of times) through gentle_gamer, then it's no problem :o)
Whereabouts in Scotland?
