Possible chat show War between Norton and Winkleman

A chat show war is looming between Graham Norton and new rival Claudia Winkleman.

Leigh Holmwood, The Sun, 10th March 2011

Telegraph agony uncle Graham Norton's usual guest mix of American A-lister, British TV star and comedian is repeated tonight, because why fix what isn't broken? Ashton Kutcher, an actor (and star of new movie No Strings Attached) as well as the young husband of Demi Moore, joins experimental chef Heston Blumenthal on the sofa. The line-up is completed by unnervingly tall stand-up Greg Davies (he of E4's sitcom The Inbetweeners). Norton's combination of chumminess and sarcasm is idiosyncratic, but he gets the best from his guests.
