Graham Norton to host Totally Saturday
Graham Norton will front a new BBC entertainment programme on Saturday night's where people's belongings become the stars of the show. For Totally Saturday, Graham will get hold of the prized possessions of members of his audience and parade them on live TV - which means anyone could be in for a shock. Audience members could see their car being borrowed by their favourite pop star or watch their best-loved TV personality reading their personal diary. The BBC1 family show will feature surprises like these plus games and special guests every Saturday night. There's also the chance to win the holiday of a lifetime at the end of each show. Graham said: "I'm totally excited about Totally Saturday. It's such a fun show which all the family can enjoy together."
