Madonna & Graham will be broadcast on BBC One on Friday, 26 June at 10:40pm and on BBC Radio 2 on Saturday, 4 July, 6-8pm.
“Recorded at the legendary Koko in Camden, London – the stage that hosted Madonna’s first-ever UK show in 1983 as well as the launch of her landmark 2005 album, Confessions on a Dance Floor – the programme sees Graham meet with Madonna for an intimate, in-depth discussion about her incredible life and celebrated career,” said the BBC.

“Ahead of the release of her much-anticipated new album Confessions II in July, this rare interview promises to be an unmissable television event.
“During the interview, Madonna looks back on her early days in New York, reflects on her enduring relationship with the UK, discusses her most recent performance at Coachella, and much more.
“The programme also features special guests, including an appearance from Madonna’s long-time collaborator Stuart Price. Together, they take Graham inside the world of Madonna’s new album, revealing the stories, inspirations, and creative process behind it.”
“As a lifelong fan, it is always a thrill to interview Madonna, but to meet her on the dance floor where she first performed in London over 30 years ago felt incredibly special,” said Norton.
“She remains a legendary pop icon who is still doing what she does best – getting people up to dance!”
