====Radio==== Since 1999, Norton has appeared regularly on the BBC Radio 4 panel show ''[[Just a Minute]]'', appearing in over 100 episodes. On 2 October 2010, Norton began presenting a Saturday morning show on [[BBC Radio 2]], which he took over from [[Jonathan Ross]]. Norton co-hosted with [[Maria McErlane]] who featured as an "[[agony aunt]]" on the segment "Grill Graham". "Tune with a Tale" is where a listener suggests playing a song with a plot, summarising the story it contains, and "[[I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!|I Can't Believe It's Not Better]]" is a feature where a listener requests a song that was previously a hit, but might be considered particularly bad now. Unlike ''[[Steve Wright in the Afternoon]]'' aired from 14:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, it is well established as being a "brand", with its end of each hour style of presentations, although Norton regularly uses the standard BBC Radio 2 jingles along with jingles unique to the Saturday morning show, written and performed by the BBC Radio 2 Orchestra. In January 2012, Norton asked listeners to his Radio 2 show to help find his car, shortly after it was stolen. He called it "The Great Car Hunt" and told listeners to "Keep your eyes out for it. It was filthy by the way."<ref>{{Cite news |date=10 January 2012 |title=Norton's radio hunt for his stolen car |url=http://www.rte.ie/ten/news/2012/0110/434785-nortong/ |access-date=1 August 2015 |publisher=[[Raidió Teilifís Éireann]]}}</ref> On 11 November 2020, Norton announced that he would step down from the show and hosted his final Saturday morning show on 19 December 2020, after 10 years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=West |first=Amy |date=11 November 2020 |title=Graham Norton is leaving his BBC Radio 2 show after 10 years |url=https://news.yahoo.com/graham-norton-leaving-bbc-radio-172200449.html |access-date=19 March 2022 |website=Yahoo News}}</ref> He was replaced by [[Claudia Winkleman]] from February 2021.
