Amazon.co.uk Review
Featuring a montage of highlights from his weekly Friday night series, Graham Norton: For Your Pleasure is a splendid showcase of the slickly uproarious, impeccably vulgar chat show host who is part Frankie Howerd, part Dame Edna Everage, part Julian Clary, but mostly himself. He hosts this programme in elderly make-up, enjoying the ministrations of a young manservant.

Norton fans will be familiar with the formula. Included here are quite outrageously lewd confessions from members of the audience, one of whom made love to a frozen chicken only to find his parents tucking into it the next day. But it's the guests who are the true staple of the show. Mostly women, mostly glamorous but just over the hill, and so willing to play good sports to Norton, they include Cher, Dolly Parton, Alison Moyet, Dolph Lundgren (who stoically endures Norton's flirtatious attentions) and David Ginola. The host doesn't so much interview his guests as regale them with surreal Internet clips of penguins tripping each other up or goats having heart attacks. They're also willing to dish a little dirt: Cybill Shepherd confides that "there was one thing Elvis didn't eat… 'til he met me".

Norton has priceless fun with Sophia Loren, who he has order a pizza named after her over the phone and play in a mock-EastEnders sketch, as well as introducing Martine McCutcheon to the delights of the Hot Cock, a microwaveable penis substitute. It's gross, camp, crude yet pulled off with great panache.

On the DVD: Graham Norton: For Your Pleasure comes with a droll commentary, in which Norton comments on the curious English accent Gillian Anderson adopted for the show and pours scorn on the cheapness of the props. He's also interviewed at length in his dressing room, where he proudly shows off the bizarre, vulgar and kitsch items viewers send him. Also interviewed is resident audience member Betty, elderly butt of his jokes, who reveals that her newfound fame enabled her to jump the queue at her orthopaedic ward. --David Stubbs

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny beyond belief, 22 Dec 2002
Well, this is truly truly Norton at its best. An great editing job makes this DVD even better to watch. When they say, Graham Norton - For your pleasure, they really mean it. From guests such as Elton John and Dustin Hoffman, to prank phone calls to France and the USA, from sketches of Buffy, to internet sites, he's got it all. Not having seen it, and having read this, one might think this is all tasteless jokes, and not funny clichés. That is, however not the case, every single word that comes out of Norton's mouth is funny (yes, some cursing goes on and there are some sexual references, but the DVD is marked 18). Sit back, kick off your shoes, put them up and enjoy this great DVD, either alone or with a group of friends... just make sure the kids are in bed for this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant - A must have, 6 Jul 2004
Yes, well there is not much one can say about Mr. Norton, apart from that he is BRILLIANT. A real pick me up. A great selection of guests together with his sense of humour make this DVD a must have! It had me in laughing fits. Considering I didn't watch the tv series (as I live abroad) I can only imagine what has been left out from the DVD. The DVD also has an interview with the man himself (very sweet) and an interview with BETTY! (YES!!!).
Don't miss this one. You shall regret it.
