Bill Borrows: Nort so queer on TV.Byline: Bill Borrows I'M SICK of camping. And I don't mean putting up a tent in a field... I am, rather, talking about tedious cheeky-chappy Graham Norton ("Hm... cheeky, sounds like cheeks, like the kind of thing you might find on a bottom" - hand over mouth, wink to camera). If this is a bit near the knuckle (add your own gag, this is a family newspaper) I apologise, promise to talk stupidly-fast for 30 seconds then mince down the stairs Adv. 1. down the stairs - on a floor below; "the tenants live downstairs" downstairs, on a lower floor, below . Norton has had ("Ooh, 'had'", raised eyebrow) pounds 5million of licence-payers' money and now fronts the new BBC1 current affairs programme The Bigger Picture. And they said satire was dead. The Bigger Picture (that's Bigger as in penis size presumably pre·sum·a·ble adj. That can be presumed or taken for granted; reasonable as a supposition: presumable causes of the disaster. ... guffaw guf·faw n. A hearty, boisterous burst of laughter. intr.v. guf·fawed, guf·faw·ing, guf·faws To laugh heartily and boisterously. [Probably imitative. ) is his attempt to break out of the sub-Kenneth Williams/ TV-lite ghetto he has built for himself. I'm sorry, he has failed. To shine, he needs more easily-shocked old people and half-pissed Kwik Save employees in the audience, a script and grasp of the subject matter. Next month on the BBC: Bird-watching With Liam Gallagher and Songs Of Praise, presented by the Yorkshire Ripper. |
