So Graham Norton has always been the best talk show host in the world. He should be shown worldwide, as an American I only know him from what I can get on RUclips
@@lizclegg7556 She played characters in sketches too and was very funny though i realise PC snobs are instructed to diss anyone in the Benny Hill Show as it represented comedy freedom.
Well, her Mancunian is not a true Manc accent, she has more of a general Northern accent, however she plays the role well otherwise. This clip is so old now.
The writing in Frasier is sublime and all of the cast, especially David Hyde Pierce, were brilliant, except for Janes Leeves. She is literally one of the worst actresses I've ever seen in one of the best TV shows I've ever seen.
Boy, have I got crush on Jane Leeves! I watched Frasier for well over a decade and never felt one way or the other about her. Her hotness crept up on me recently and I just adore her.
This episode of Graham Norton was filmed in the year 2002 (since they mentioned the 10th season. So she was actually 40yrs old in this video! Almost 20yrs ago. Blaaady ell, how time flies
And he dumbly (or bitchily) makes a big deal about Frasier whilst ignoring she was in Benny Hill which beat that and all other British and American shows when it came to global popularity.
O M F G ...." Catherine Zeta Jones " EVENTUALLY....Graham Norton, that boy ain't right. ( But on-the-nose correct this time. "Eventually" is inspired and so snarky. )
Was she born and raised in Essex or just born there? Is that close to London? I believe it is, I've never been to England, but am I right that's close to London?
Damn, Graham is such a PC cancel culture pipsqueak not introducing her as the Angel from the Benny Hill Show who really made it big which is fact then talks about a less popular show she was in instead though Bennys was an English show like this one is and Frasier wasn't. Seems like loads of her interviewers bitchily avoid mentioning how she got into global focus in the first place.
Cockney Rhyming Slang. Cockney = Someone born in the East End of London, within the sound of Bow Bells. Bristol Cities = Titties. North and South = Mouth.
So if you're from Manchester you are working class?!! Can you not be from London and working class. So offensive. I'm a northerner and we're not all working class. Load of cr**. Excuse for a rubbish accent
Anthony Brennan To be fair, I think she meant to say 'frantic,' which would be a little more accurate. Probably just a harmless slip up of words, but there's no need to insult people on here.
Raymond Jiang : it is sad that on RUclips, there are way too many people putting rude, demeaning, insulting, and/or hateful comments! I guess that they were never taught the ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all’ rule. Criticism doesn’t have to be ugly.
No it made her relatable and down to earth, I`m fed up with every character on telly being sexy and glamourous, it`s boring, she had a very nice character on Frazier and it helped make the show cosy, it really seemed like she lived there, they had chemistry.
I completely agree. How on earth did she end up in the same camera frame as the utterly brilliant David Hyde Pierce. Who did she sleep with to get the job?
@@lizclegg7556 Leave her alone, they all chased her after seeing she was in the most popular show in the world called the Benny Hill Show which sold to over 100 countries and if she was considered good enough to do acting parts in it as well as dancing she obviously had the talent.

Since they talk about being in the tenth season, this is late 2002.
Jane Leeves has excellent comedic timing. The begining of her career included working on the B.B.C. with Benny Hill.
She has appalling comic timing and being chased about by Benny Hill is not a sign of either that or any kind of acting ability.
@@lizclegg7556 She played characters in sketches too and was very funny though i realise PC snobs are instructed to diss anyone in the Benny Hill Show as it represented comedy freedom.
So talented,she played Daphne to such sublime perfection, and the writing so good too !..a perfect tv show !..and Roz so great too .

@@lizclegg7556Have you convinced yourself yet?
I remember her way before Frasier...I watched her in the 80s on a sitcom called Throb, she played the character Blue
Very telling of the time that Gaiman wasn't instantly known!
This was recorded on a potato
....a rotting, worm-ridden potato
By someone called murphy
I LOVE JANE LEEVES
Boy, have I got crush on Jane Leeves! I watched Frasier for well over a decade and never felt one way or the other about her. Her hotness crept up on me recently and I just adore her.
You are the real life Niles 😁
ambivalent ambiguity : I really like your name here, 🙂
I love her and her accent
Her Mancunian accent
Neil Gaiman is a famous author and comic book author.
I've been a fan since she played Blu on "Throb" with Diana Canova.
Yes! When she first showed up on Frasier, I was like "Oh!! It's Blue!!" LOL!
Amazing she was on Benny Hill show.
I think I am in love
Lol at Graham's Craic at Michael Douglas ha!
wonderful show
Thank you very much.
she was around when Benny Hill was on telly. doesn't look a day over 30 years old far out.
This episode of Graham Norton was filmed in the year 2002 (since they mentioned the 10th season. So she was actually 40yrs old in this video!
Almost 20yrs ago. Blaaady ell, how time flies
Neil Gaiman is a wonderful novelist!
Doesn't know who Neil Gaiman is? Dear dear Graham, I hope he does now, he's missing out otherwise. Great video, thanks for the upload.
I know, right? I thought he was joking!
she was cute as one of Hill's Angels
Agreed.
If you just listen to the audio, at times he sounds like Stewie.
Catherine zeta Jones isn't English she's Welsh ( hence the surname ) ! . 🤣
And he dumbly (or bitchily) makes a big deal about Frasier whilst ignoring she was in Benny Hill which beat that and all other British and American shows when it came to global popularity.
So, this is not the Graham Norton show we Yanks have come to know and love, correct? Would this be "So Graham Norton" or "V Graham Norton"?
This one would be 'So Graham Norton' I think
He didn't know who Neil Gaiman was? Heathen!
Whoa what happened to the graham Norton sho
I always wondered why they chose Manchester as it was always London. I always thought because they were both rainy cities
Rocking the puma t.shit
What year is this please anyone?
Thanks.
This video clip is from 2009/10 but the year now is 2020. Cheers.
WatchingNow : thanks, and what a difference the year 2020 has been and it’s not over yet (eeeeekkkkk!).
Actress Lisa Maxwell almost got the part of Daphne, she was a close second to Jane..
How did Jane Leeves ever get the job?
I’ve never heard that
@@lizclegg7556Dude, take several seats
She could do strictly come dancing
This is great cuz it shows how dumb we are here in USA with the English language🤣👏🏻❤️
Bristol Cities...(snicker)
O M F G ...." Catherine Zeta Jones " EVENTUALLY....Graham Norton, that boy ain't right. ( But on-the-nose correct this time. "Eventually" is inspired and so snarky. )
Incredibly late or early naughties, probably 2000.
I have only now learned that she wasn't an actual Manchurian!
That's actually pretty clever. I take it you're aware, though, that residents of Manchester are called Mancunians.
@@gregsager2062 Oops don't know where I got that from!
i love i love youuuu
We do need a re booth love the r oz character
How much she gain and lose in pregnancy Jane
Was she born and raised in Essex or just born there? Is that close to London? I believe it is, I've never been to England, but am I right that's close to London?
claronium 780 she's from East grinstead in Sussex, near Brighton, not far from London.
She was born in Illford just outside London
It is about 30 miles from London and they sound just like cockneys I hate that southern cockney accent just awful G
She was born in Ilford Essex.. I saw her the day she was born.
Lmao wow I didn't know Daphne getting fat was because she was pregnant. They made such a cool story arc out of that.
How does he not know Neil Gaiman?
I didnt know either! Had to Google him
Yes kiddies tv did look pretty shitty back in the day.....but not that shitty!
Damn, Graham is such a PC cancel culture pipsqueak not introducing her as the Angel from the Benny Hill Show who really made it big which is fact then talks about a less popular show she was in instead though Bennys was an English show like this one is and Frasier wasn't.

bristol what?
City
British slang for "tits"
soulsurvivor2001 : thanks for info, I guessed that was what they meant.

Cockney = Someone born in the East End of London, within the sound of Bow Bells.
Bristol Cities = Titties.
North and South = Mouth.

Quality so bad this is unwatchable
Funny that Americans say Merry Christmas and the British say Happy Christmas- doesn't it seem like it would be the opposite?
We say Merry Christmas aswell, we use them interchangeable, but I would rather use Merry Christmas
We (the British) say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I only found out she is from Essex. She does a very good Manchester accent.
She really doesn't
Rubbish.
She's from East Grinstead in West Sussex.
Jane Leeves on Graham Norton ? ...don't a woman's has ever been on gra gra
So creepy how her accent changes from English to American. Yughhhuhughhhh. Other than that, hot stuff!
............boring
she clearly knows nothing about schizophrenia.
Oh fuck off SJW

I'm still not convinced about that terrible accent on Frasier, it made her far less attractive.
Not true at all. Maybe for YOU, but not the rest of us.
No it made her relatable and down to earth, I`m fed up with every character on telly being sexy and glamourous, it`s boring, she had a very nice character on Frazier and it helped make the show cosy, it really seemed like she lived there, they had chemistry.
She can't act to save her life.
Talentless woman - luckiest person on the planet.
I completely agree. How on earth did she end up in the same camera frame as the utterly brilliant David Hyde Pierce. Who did she sleep with to get the job?

@@lizclegg7556What did she even do to you? You're ranting about it in almost every comment
sorry she cant act... m nice person
Good thing no-one else agrees with you. She didn't get where she is by not being able to act- in fact, she has great comedic timing.
Agree. How the hell did she get the job on Frasier? A brilliant show except for her. Who did she sleep with to get the role?
@@ThePhaeriephox Rubbish.

She's originally from Essex, not Manchester like she's portrayed in the show
You don't say.
