'''Graham Norton''' was a [[Graham Norton (actor)|celebrity]] on [[Earth]]. 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]]: ''[[National Television Awards Sketch 2011]]'')


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]]'')  
'''Graham Norton''' played [[Graham Norton|himself]] in the ''[[National Television Awards Sketch 2011|National Television Awards special]]'' and ''[[Looking for Pudsey (TV story)|Looking for Pudsey]]''. His likeness appeared in ''[[Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars]]''.
 
=== Accidental appearances ===
[[File:GrahamNortonDW.jpg|thumb|left|The controversial cartoon]]
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]].


He was later contacted at the same time as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] when [[Eddie Redmayne]] was in search of [[Pudsey]]. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Looking for Pudsey (TV story)|Looking for Pudsey]]'')
