Starting September 2, BBC America will start showing SO Graham Norton in its original, uncut version.

(As far as what the rest of you were thinking about the OP, I have no proof…but would assume that is probably true as well - him being European and all…)

So how is that different from what they show now? Uncut meaning longer, or uncensored?

I assume you mean uncensored, because I’ve only seen it a couple of times, but I know they already show “so” instead of the shorter “v” that’s showing in the UK now.

I believe the show will be longer and uncensored. I have heard the original versions of the show are 40 minutes long - so you can imagine how much they are chopping to get this to fit into a 30 minute format, including commercials!

Given the suggestive nature of the OP, that comment reminded me of that disturbing JDT quote about how circumcision removes “half” of a guy’s Schwanzstucker…

Other than that, I have nothing meaningful to contribute to this thread, being as I have no idea who Graham Norton is.

That’s me, just a **handy** with a lower post count.

Graham Norton is the host of a very funny talk show that I have just discovered since getting BBC America on digital cable.
