We DID make it to the Graham Norton Show last night and Todt05 and I had a fabulous time.
So sorry not to get here sooner but I ended up in London with a laptop that didn't work and a ten year old mobile phone that barely makes calls, let alone does tricks with the net!
Don't ever give me the job of Roving Reporter.....just got home and back to my beloved computer before the show airs at 10.35 - it's 5.30 pm here now.
Am I now going to tell you things everyone already knows? Oh well....
Adam was great, of course. He looked far better than even these photos show - he was glowing and shiny and looked very classy. He sang (NCOE) at the end and then joined Will-I-Am, Miriam Margolies and Greg ?(comedian) on the sofa. Graham made clear that his album was No1 and that he was working with Queen. I suspect his part will be cut down to a couple of mins and this will be the content - but great content and Adam spoke very well.
Adam was very composed and dignified.
He got great cheers though most people were there to see Will-I-Am but I'm sure he has done himself a power of good. No talk of 'gay', except from Miriam, who is gay and who also told Will that she had never talked to a 'black man' before which drew audible gasps (she is definitely NOT my cup of tea - possibly the crudest person ever though amusing enough with a bit of editing, I'm sure).
Graham Norton was amazing - he was so relaxed and assured and everything went quickly and smoothly. Didn't think to time it but I imagine they will edit about 20 mins out in total. I hope most of that is Miriam's stories of giving bj's to total strangers and getting builders to feel her boobs. (If you don't hear those stories - good).
We had very good seats right in the middle and about 7 rows back - really couldn't be better - right between the sofa and the singing stage. The studio is very much smaller than it looks - the two areas are only perhaps 15 feet apart so the position was perfect for us.
Hard to say how many Adam 'supporters' in the audience but they did him proud with their enthusiasm. I think Graham liked Adam - he nipped across once, while Adam was getting ready to sing, to see if he was ok - of course, Adam was. I noticed that at one stage the floor manager gave Adam a hug.
It seems he was whisked away pretty quickly afterwards while the others stayed to party a bit - but I'm sure Brian and Roger would appreciate that!
Lovely evening and Adam will make a lot of fans if the televised impression is as good as the live one. I'm in my pj's already - don't tell anyone - waiting to open my bottle of red and relive the evening in a few hours time....
