BBC has announced that THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW and THE THICK OF IT will return for American audiences this year. The eleventh season of THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW premieres Saturday, April 28, 11:00pm ET/PT. THE THICK OF IT is set to premiere Saturday, April 29, 12:00am ET/PT. Both shows are featured as part of The Ministry of Laughs.

Graham Norton is set to return to BBC AMERICA - bringing his renowned comedy monologues, eccentric stories, and  today's hottest stars for the eleventh season of the UK's biggest talk show. Kate Winslet, Johnny Depp, Robin Williams, Salma Hayek, Coldplay, Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Reese Witherspoon and Gerard Butler were just a few of the guests to visit Graham's trademark orange couch in season ten. In the all-new season, Graham promises more great guests, laugh-out-loud stories, outrageous characters, and Graham Norton himself.

The BAFTA award-winning team is back for another series of acclaimed political comedy, THE THICK OF IT. The show stars Peter Capaldi (In the Loop, Torchwood: Children of Earth) as the Prime Minister's Machiavellian spin-doctor Malcolm Tucker, who seeks to unpick the latest muddles that have been dumped onto his plate. This season follows the newly appointed Secretary of State for Social Affairs and Citizenship, Nicola Murray (played by Rebecca Front, The Catherine Tate Show) and her used-up team of advisors as they struggle to achieve anything at all under Malcolm's watchful eye.
