Graham Norton reflects on ‘bombed’ reality show The Neighbourhood
- Graham Norton has admitted that his heavily promoted ITV reality show The Neighbourhood “bombed” after viewing figures dropped significantly.
- The series, which saw households compete on a fictional street for a £250,000 prize, was relegated from its 9pm primetime slot to 10.45pm following low ratings.
- Norton expressed sympathy for the production team who spent two years working on the show, noting that hit television series cannot be manufactured.
- Despite the setback, the presenter expressed gratitude that The Graham Norton Show has been renewed by the BBC until 2029.
- In the same interview, Norton revealed he has a new dog with husband Jono McLeod – but that the couple would not be revealing its name or breed publicly.
