Behind the scenes

 * Although Graham says he is presenting the news in the NTA sketch, he is actually on the set of.


 * Norton played himself in Dermot and the Doctor, Norton's Regeneration, and Looking for Pudsey. Additionally his likeness appeared in Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars.

Accidental Appearances

 * Norton has appeared twice accidentally in Doctor Who:
 * A mistake during the first broadcast of Rose in the UK meant that sound from a BBC Three program, Strictly Dance Fever, hosted by Graham Norton, was heard over the scene in which Rose first encounters the Autons.
 * In his novelisation of the episode, Russell T Davies worked this incident into the plot as part of a radio broadcast. [[File:Graham gets exterminated for spoiling Doctor Who - The Graham Norton Show preview - BBC One|thumb|Norton discusses accidentally appearing in [[TV]]: The Time of Angels.]]
 * During its airing in some parts of England, an animated advert for the talent show Over the Rainbow began playing over the cliffhanger of The Time of Angels. This sparked complaints to the BBC, who later apologised. The advert contained an animated Graham Norton, who later joked about it on his own show – saying he finally secured a role on Doctor Who, apparently unaware of his previous, accidental interruption. Norton then played a version of the cartoon banner, with a Dalek exterminating his cartoon self; coincidentally, the same show also featured an appearance by Karen Gillan and they spoke further about the error.
