Graham Norton is unique in that he has appeared on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' by accident twice.
* A mistake during the first broadcast of ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' in the [[UK]] meant that sound from a [[BBC Three]] program, {{wi|Strictly Dance Fever}}, hosted by Graham Norton, was heard over the scene in which [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] first encounters the [[Auton]]s.
* During its airing in some parts of [[England]], an animated advert for the talent show {{wi|Over the Rainbow (2010 TV series)|Over the Rainbow}} began playing over the [[cliffhanger]] of ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]''. This sparked complaints to the [[BBC (real world)|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.
 
=== Other matters ===
* Although Graham says he is presenting the news in the NTA sketch, he is actually on the set of {{w|The Graham Norton Show|his own show}}. In real life, he is not a newscaster.
* Graham Norton succeeded [[Terry Wogan]] as the [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]]'s [[commentator]] for the [[Eurovision Song Contest]].
