For some reason the BBC have decided not to have somebody from this year's Christmas Special on Graham Norton: www.digitalspy.com/tv/graham-norton-show/news/a844121/will-smith-jenna-coleman-graham-norton-show/Why do the BBC keep messing up the show's publicity like this? It has been terrible for ages, and it's like they don't want a load of viewers at Christmas. I hope Peter Capaldi will at least feature on The Jonathan Ross Show Christmas Special so that there's some publicity in the form of TV interviews at least for Peter Capaldi's regeneration. He deserves more than to be shafted in favour of some unknown singer called Tom Chaplin.

Since when is The Graham Norton Show the be-all and end-all for publicity?

I'm sorry, but I read this and am left thinking "Move along now, nothing to see here".

This is nonsense and can be blown out the water by one key fact - Peter Capaldi's 4 highest rated episodes by viewership are his very first ep (always gets a ratings boost) and then all 3 of the Christmas ones. People watch at Christmas anyway. You don't need to go all out to sell it to audiences when it's going to do just fine anyway. You said the same nonsense last year about the gap year meaning Doctor Mysterio would flop...it ended up getting higher ratings than Husbands Of River Song.
And Tom Chaplin is the lead singer of Keane. Every one of their four albums has been a UK Number one and they've got 13 platinum records. But sure....he's unknown. Do some bloody research for once before opening your mouth just to let your belly rumble.

The point is that this is Peter Capaldi's regeneration story though, and therefore the BBC should be using every single thing at their disposal to promote it as they did with David Tennant in 2009/10. It seems a little unfair that Peter Capaldi and the end of the Moffat era already looks as though it will be getting significantly less publicity than David Tennant and the end of the RTD era. Also: who on Gallifrey are Keane? They're hardly Little Mix, are they? Peter Capaldi could have taken his spot and nobody would be too bothered.

I just told you who Keane are, lad. I guess the baker's dozen of platinum albums doesn't make them well known though eh? Because the true barometer of success is whether one entitled kid thinks you're qualified to appear on Graham Norton or not......

Sounds more like something I'd find at the nut stand at the supermarket to me. Literally the only other time I've heard of them was the Doctor finding them on Bill's phone in Knock Knock.

Non-British, though if I had to be British just to get who they are, then they're not really the most popular group on the planet... But, yeah, that probably explains why I haven't heard of them.

Who is Little Mix, besides someone Bill had on her phone? Spice Girls 2.0, or an all female One Direction if you prefer. Utterly generic, pre-packaged, X-Factor birthed teen pop.

I hate one direction with a passion. When they broke up I was utterly indifferent. Liking a group is fine, but sending their girlfriends death threats just because of their dating choices is just plain wrong.

I haven't heard of any of these bands, though my avatar is probably a clue as to why that might be....

You do realise that the singer appearing on The Graham Norton Show is there to sing a song, right? There's music every episode. So the one spot Capaldi couldn't take over is Tom Chaplin's. Well, that or Graham's.
