Suited and booted Dr Graham finally gets his scroll-in-a-roll

It was all SO Graham Norton yesterday — the other three recipients of honorary degrees at University College Cork barely got in a look-in as the Bandon man finally got the scroll-in-a-roll his mother had long yearned for.

Tanned, suited, and booted, West Cork’s most famous export professed to feeling like he was on set in a college movie — even if the rest of us felt like part of the audience at The Graham Norton Show.

As he strolled through the Quad, the irrepressible broadcaster was asked if his latest award would prompt a name change.
