It was initially broadcast on BBC Two , from 22 February 2007 , before moving to BBC One in October 2009 . It currently airs on Friday evenings , and is usually repeated a few nights later . Contents ( hide ) 1 Programming 1.1 BBC Two 1.2 BBC One 2 Series 3 Broadcast 4 Episodes 5 References 6 External links Programming ( edit ) BBC Two ( edit ) The show mirrors So and V with strong adult humour along with Graham 's monologue at the beginning of the show and often a musical guest to play out over the credits . Although the rude objects in `` Graham 's drawer '' did not survive , the phone calls and hidden camera surprises have . These surprises are sometimes based around the guests , such as Sarah Beeny 's dating website , a TARDIS on the South Bank when David Tennant appeared and a wine - tasting group drinking Gérard Depardieu 's wine whilst he was on the show . Some of the surprises , such as the wine - tasting , have been arranged through ideas submitted by viewers , stating where they will be when the show is recorded . At the end of the show , after any band or artist performance , an extra 5 minute section of the show was recorded , known as the `` Cooldown '' . This section was seen in an extended weekend repeat , called Graham Norton Uncut , and was also made available as a downloadable podcast . As well as showing the `` Cooldown '' , it also included previously unseen parts from the original episode . This section often involved the audience , such as guessing an audience member 's partner and playing mass charades . After Graham 's short monologue , he always introduced two guests . If there was a third guest , they were usually introduced later in the show . If the two guests are connected in some way ( for example , Dustin Hoffman and his wife ) , they were the only ones introduced at the start . If musical guests were involved in the show , one of several things happened . Some performers , such as Enrique Iglesias , were on stage from the very beginning . Others , such as Gareth Gates came on stage about 5 to 7 minutes before their performance for a short interview . Also , some musical guests only performed during the end credits and participated in the Cooldown section of the programme . However , all bands performed during the credits and were interviewed in the Cooldown segment . BBC One ( edit ) Once the show moved to BBC One , it moved to Monday nights , and the guest list increased to three or occasionally four people , with an accompanying reduction in Norton 's signature pieces . A typical show consisted of one big celebrity name , a comedian sitting in the aforementioned comedy chair and a well - known musical personality who would all be introduced after the monologue . Sometimes three guests are introduced at the top of the show with the musical guest brought in about 10 to 15 minutes before the end of the show . Unlike the BBC Two show , the BBC One show does not end with the musical performance , but with a new audience participation segment called That 's All We 've Got Time For , where audience members sit in the famous red chair and begin to tell a humorous story . Graham and his guests listen to the stories and if Graham gets bored , he -- or occasionally a guest -- pulls the lever and the chair falls backwards , dumping the speaker from it . The red chair segment was inspired by comedian Ronnie Corbett 's longwinded armchair monologues . After the end of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross , it was announced that The Graham Norton Show would be taking over the coveted Friday night slot . The show premiered on 22 October 2010 . Series ( edit ) The first series began at 10pm on 22 February 2007 on BBC Two and was originally slated to end on 24 May 2007 after 13 episodes . However , the series proved such a hit that it was extended for an additional six episodes . A 12 - week second series began on 11 October 2007 , and culminated with a Boxing Day special and New Year 's compilation from previous episodes . The show made its North American premiere on BBC America on 2 June 2007 , one week after what was supposed to be the final episode of Series 1 ( before its extension ) . Series 2 premiered on BBC America on 20 October 2007 . Unlike the previous series , each episode premiered in the United States only 9 days after the initial UK broadcast . However , the final three episodes were broadcast in reverse order ( with Episode 12 being shown on BBC America a few days earlier than on BBC Two . The same thing occurred in Series 4 with the Christmas special airing on BBC America 10 days before the BBC Two broadcast . Series 3 began its run on 17 April 2008 . For series 3 , the `` Cooldown '' segment had been dropped , and the show was just the full uncut 45 - minute version of the show . The show was originally recorded in studio 2 at The London Studios , but moved to studio 1 , due to the slot of The Paul O'Grady Show and the high audience numbers . The show continued to be broadcast in a 30 - minute version on Thursdays at 10pm with Graham Norton Uncut , the uncut version shown on Sundays at around 11pm in a 45 - minute version . However , BBC Two in Wales sometimes broadcast the Thursday edition later than the rest of the BBC Two regions , usually after Newsnight at 11.20 pm because they would usually have local programmes in the 10pm slot . BBC Two Northern Ireland did the same , and during series three , they broadcast Thursday 's show on Friday nights at 10pm on BBC Two Northern Ireland because of local programming on Thursdays . Series 4 began its run on 3 October 2008 at 10pm on BBC Two ( however , both BBC Two Wales and BBC Two Northern Ireland broadcast the show at a later time due to their regional programming ) . The Sunday uncut editions have been kept , with the first uncut edition broadcast on BBC Two late on Sunday night . Since its sixth series , The Graham Norton Show has aired on BBC One . As of 2017 , there have been 21 series of the show . In late January 2017 it was confirmed that Graham Norton had signed a new three - year deal with the BBC which , along with his BBC Radio 2 show , Eurovision commentary duties and other projects for the BBC , will also keep The Graham Norton Show on BBC One until at least 2020 . Graham said : `` We 've just done a deal for another three years , which , right now , feels like a long time . '' The Graham Norton Show had been produced from the ITV Studios on London 's Southbank since it began in 2007 . Graham had used the London Studios since 1998 for his first talk show on Channel 4 , `` So Graham Norton '' . The show produced its final episode from The London Studios on Thursday 15 February 2018 which aired on BBC One on Friday 16 February 2018 . At the end of the final show , a photograph was taken of all the crew on the sofa along with Graham , and a caption reading `` Love , thanks and goodbye to The London Studios '' . The production of the show moves to Studio TC1 at BBC Television Centre in West London , operated by BBC Studioworks . The first edition to be recorded at Television Centre was on Thursday 5 April 2018 , which aired on BBC One on Friday 6 April 2018 .
