The Sound of the Crowd

Hey Norton!

I’m not sure what I think of Graham Norton’s new show on Comedy Central yet. When they were promoting it up the wazoo I was inclined to be resistant but now I’ve seen one whole episode and bits of one or two others, and I have to admit I did like it more than I disliked it.

However, this isn’t a recommendation, just a link to some funny words by and about the television personality.

Especially look up the bit about just who Peter Jackson has tape of auditioning for the Lord of the Rings movies…and you will wish, as I do, he’d include them in the forthcoming extended DVD…
