Having thoroughly enjoyed Graham Norton’s recent forensic cross-examination of Hillary Clinton on BBC1, I’m thrilled that the corporation intends to use Graham for yet further heavyweight political interviews. Here’s an exclusive preview of one coming up soon:
GN: ‘Halllllllo! How lovely to see you all! I hope you’ve been behaving yourselves. [Audience titters.] Well, do we have a feast for you this evening — so let’s get started. My first guest needs no introduction. Probably the most famous man from the 20th century — ladies and gentleman, please welcome, Adolf Hitler!’ [Hitler makes his entrance, waves, shakes Graham’s hand and sits down next to him. Audience cheers wildly.]
GN: ‘It is a great pleasure to see you Adolf… is Adolf OK? Or would you prefer Mein Führer?’ [Audience titters again.]
AH: ‘Adolf is fine, ha ha.’
GN: ‘Thank you, thank you. My, you are looking well! Isn’t he looking well? [Audience claps.] And still with that very distinctive moustache! Look Adolf…’ [Graham turns away briefly and resumes his position, wearing a false toothbrush moustache.
