Graham Norton

They should never have booked me.

But anyway, I was a surprise.

So I was supposed to be like a pretend guest at the thing.

So I had to stand with my glass of Australian wine.

And I was sipping it.

And because you're in that kind of adrenaline heightened thing, I could feel the wine like going through.

I could feel it in me.

And just those couple of sips just took the edge off.

And so after that, I went, right, I'm going to do this.

I'm going to monitor it.

If it goes into suddenly, oh, you need two glasses of wine before you go on, then I'll knock it on the head.

But for now, it's doing a job.

And, you know, I don't really get nervous anymore, but so now it's just habit, but that's where it came from, was just that it was almost like science, that I could dose myself with a little bit of wine and just take the edge off.

Killed.

They talk about it still.

I will have a humongous glass of wine, yeah.

I might start with something else, though, like drinks-wise.

Sure.

So that isn't even in your choices, is it?

We've let people have different drinks throughout the meal.
