As if he'd be personally aware of everywhere back alley pub in Dublin, even if he is Irish.

He's not Irish. He's from Cork.

He probably just it looked the part for his joke and hoped no one would notice.

I actually like that pub.

I've noting much to offer on the topic of Graham Norton or Brit outrage though.

Relax it's not a Xenophobe thread I just thought it was funny, a pub down the road from me that's all, bit o crack wha!!!!!!

Fuk the toy show, I was flicking back n forth...

uch

He's a West Brit Cork Kunt

Graham Norton is just the funniest,good aul craic

keeponhurling

It's a tv show made for British TV, so don't think anyone would be recognizing the pub

The combined wealth of him and his sofa must be £200m every week, and we're meant to sit there slack-jawed thinking all this banter going back and forth is genius.

I'm glad we don't know whether Norton votes Fianna Fail or Fine Gael.

Well Ireland is part of the British Isles so technically he's not wrong.........*Legs it*

I unashamedly love the Graham Norton show.

As for the pub shown, does it matter? It did the job and looked like a pub that could be in Britain.

Last time I tried to go there (before a rovers game in Dalymount) it actually was closed but thought it was because it was a Sunday. Is it closed for good?

The Hut it is so

Lyaiera

Maybe he used that pub for a reason? The BBC audience won't know it's an Irish pub, most Irish people won't know it's a pub in Ireland, so maybe it's on for the people who know the pub. He's one of the most highly paid people on the BBC, if he wants to give a shout out to a pub I doubt the BBC's advertising policy would stop him.

At the risk of sounding like a 'poncey know it all' ...
Graham Norton doesn't write or source images for his opening monologue jokes. So while it does look stupid that he showed an Irish pub as being an English one... It was really one of the writers or assistant's errors.

Maybe it was the only pub his researchers could find that was called The Red Windmill. Sometimes the simplest answers are the correct ones.

Yes and yes. I prefer good old English comedy over Irish tomfoolery.
