Challenge Commissions Graham Norton Clip Show

LONDON, June 21: Virgin Media Television’s game-show
entertainment channel Challenge has commissioned Graham Norton’s So Television
to create a new clip show, entitled NortonLand.

The series will showcase the best games from Graham Norton’s
nightly show on Channel 4. Each episode is a
tour through the futuristic, animated NortonLand theme park, with Maria
McErlane, voice of EuroTrash, as the “tour guide.” Challenge has commissioned
So Television to produce 30 half-hour episodes. It launches August 6.

Celia Taylor, the director of programs at Virgin
1, Bravo, Bravo 2, Trouble and Challenge, said: “It's a brilliant use of
archive and incredibly funny, and stars one of Britain's best loved
performers—what more can you ask for? I'm sure Challenge viewers will
welcome it wholeheartedly as unashamed entertainment with a great new twist.”
