Guests

I don't really agree that Graham Norton's guests are specifically chosen to appeal to a gay and lesbian audience. He wouldn't have the durability or the ratings he's had if his appeal was just to gay and lesbian viewers. I want to modify that phrase.

Agreed. Most of his guests seem to be heterosexual anyway.

Defect

He then signed a huge contract to defect to the BBC on his return to the UK.

Why isn't defect linking to the right defect (probably the last), but just to the disambiguation page of defect?

TV appearances

Graham also made a cameo appearance on the U.S. show Queer Eye (For The Straight Guy) in one of the episodes set in England.

He also lent his voice to one of the living plastic models in the 2005 series of doctor who, thus making a brief cameo even though only his voice was heard and his body was not seen, so shall i add that into tv appearances?

Added tag

There are a lot of unreferenced citations, viz "performance as Father Noel proved a massive hit with viewers", "His Channel 4 programmes have won a record number of comedy awards." etc - some of it also reads like an autobiography. Need a separate article on Scott Michaels
