+'''Graham Norton''' is an Irish television presenter, comedian, actor, and author with a number of connections, both direct and indirectly, to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' media.

-|origin = [[Earth]]
-|first mention = Rose (novelisation)}}'''Graham Norton''' appeared on a [[radio]] broadcast in [[2005]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'')
-== Behind the scenes ==
+He played himself in the three ''Doctor Who''-adjacent comedy skits, ''[[Dermot and the Doctor (TV story)|Dermot and the Doctor]]'', ''[[Looking for Pudsey (TV story)|Looking for Pudsey]]'', and ''[[2023: The Eurovision Audition Tapes (TV story)|2023: The Eurovision Audition Tapes]]''. His likeness was also used in the [[BBC One]] [[Christmas ident]], ''[[Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars]]''.
-=== Invalid appearances ===
-While the [[Eleventh Doctor]] was trying to drop off [[Dermot O'Leary]] at the [[National Television Awards]] in [[2011]], he accidentally overshot by [[2012|a year]]. They saw Graham on the viewscreen. He was preparing to present the news, but was confused by the sudden arrival of the TARDIS in his studio. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Dermot and the Doctor (TV story)|Dermot and the Doctor]]'')
-He later regenerated into the [[Tenth Doctor]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] for no apparent reason. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Norton's Regeneration (TV story)|Norton's Regeneration]]'')''<nowiki/>''
-He later met the [[Twelfth Doctor]] at [[Sprout Boy]]'s [[BBC]] [[Christmas]] party. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars]]'')
-He was later contacted at the same time as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] when [[Eddie Redmayne (Looking for Pudsey)|Eddie Redmayne]] was in search of [[Pudsey]]. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Looking for Pudsey (TV story)|Looking for Pudsey]]'')
-* 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}}.
-* Norton played himself in ''[[Dermot and the Doctor (TV story)|Dermot and the Doctor]]'', ''[[Norton's Regeneration (TV story)|Norton's Regeneration]]'', and ''[[Looking for Pudsey (TV story)|Looking for Pudsey]]''. Additionally his likeness appeared in ''[[Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars]]''.
+More notoriously, Norton has found himself at the centre of two very unintentional appearances on the show, due to BBC technical errors. In [[2005 (releases)|2005]], during the initial broadcast of ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', a mistake occurred which resulted in sound from ''Strictly Dance Fever'', hosted by Norton, and which was airing on [[BBC Three]] at the time, being heard over the scene in which [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] encounters the [[Auton]]s.
+[[File:GrahamNortonDW.jpg|thumb|The infamous error during the original broadcast of ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]''.]]
+In [[2010 (releases)|2010]], 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 (TV story)|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]] [[Extermination|exterminating]] his cartoon self; coincidentally, the same show also featured an appearance by [[Karen Gillan]] and they spoke further about the error.
