Maria McErlane joins Graham Norton to solve your problems in Graham's Guide - this week's problems come from someone moving back to the UK who doesn't want to leave behind the 15 cats they've adopted, and a son who's come out but doesn't feel they're being supported by their dad.

Im sure many of you watched the Netflix documentary. What caught my eye was Andrew's support. He knew it was time for George to expand his solo career, and he gave him the space. Andrew was also so kind to his fans and the press. Stardom never changed this man. He is a legend.

U kidding..!! 🥴🥴🥴 Andrew gave George space..!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 George with his GIGANTIC talent of music gave Andrew John Ridgeley the opportunity of his life to be ‘’ a pop star’’ cos it’s needed to be cleared, Andrew never EVER sang a lyric, nor wrote one, and NEVER EVER plays a chord ..! Either LIVE or studio..! Why..? cos Andrew’s a fake guitarist (he mimics playing guitar)..! If not why...!!WHY..! does he never shows his music skills, or plays a WHAM! song by himself..! LOL..! Andrew ‘’helped’’ George in his confidence..! but not without a selfish interest behind..!!!! BTW..! Never forget Andrew never accomplished any musical success on his own..! and lives his life on WHAM’s ..Oops..! George 💷💷 and GIGANTIC music talent..! George.! Angel he was, left AJR 50% of WHAM! future 💷💷 for life..! The dude is a fraud, a parasite..! Stop being so snobbish Ridgeley..!!! 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

Wow seeing Shirley is so strange I’ve not seen her for many years now, I use to work with Shirley at the steak house called the Ponderosa in Watford, I once changed the light bulb in the Kitchen and I got electrocuted and I ended up on the kitchen floor, Shirley came running in and helped me up off the floor. I will never forget when Shirley came back after leaving the job asking us to buy their single which we all did. The last time I saw Shirley was in British Homes Stores where she was trying on hats, she was with Andrew Ridgeley it was lovely to see her again, I think that was around 1984 or 1985. Shirley those Ponderosa days were the best days of my life and it was great to have known you and the rest of the staff that worked there. Oh I will also never forget George, Andrew & Pepsi use to come in to meet Shirley quite often.

When these two and Pepsi got on stage at the Brit Awards in 2017 for their tribute to George, I was in tears. You could tell they were really trying to hold themselves together as they publicly mourned the loss of the legendary George Michael. Of course, they did so with absolute grace and dignity. Andrew's speech, in particular, was one of the best tributes I've ever heard.

The Wham! doc is probably the most joyous, uplifting piece of tv I’ve watched this year. As a teenager of the 80s, I have such fond memories of Wham! and the music. It’s all over the audio background of my 16th birthday home movies. ;) I guess I was never truly aware of the depth of the friendship between George and Andrew and all they meant to each other. But thanks to the documentary, I am now. How cool to have the sweetest friendship of your youth immortalized in music. May we all have a friend who lifts us up the way Andrew did for George. ❤️

I think everyone realizes what an integral part of WHAM Andrew was! Even though George surfaced as front and certain of the group, Andrew was not to be denied. He recognized that WHAM had a shorter shelf life, and that George was key to going to the next level as a single performer. Andrew has always been a class act and will always, always be known as just as important to WHAM'S success as George was!!°❤

I'm glad to hear from Shirlie here. I saw the documentary and thought it would have been cool if they had a few more sound clips from her and Pepsi just to get more of a perspective. We have our soulmates in life and Andrew and George were definitely destined to meet and bring out the best in eachother. You can tell he had genuine joy in supporting George. Even when Andrew was in the tabloids and being portrayed as the party guy/ Randy Andy, he did it to take the heat off of George to protect him from being outted before he was ready to come out.

If you go back and watch old 80s interviews with the two of them, you can actually see how Andrew steps in to take the heat off when George is being questioned about his love life. Likewise, you can see George step in when interviewers ask Andrew if he feels sidelined in the group. It’s amazing how they protected one another, and it’s even more obvious now with perspective and knowing what GM was going through emotionally at the time. Andrew understood.

Despite the struggles he had later in life, it's easy to forget just how innocent and humble he was during the Wham! years.

Then I fell hopelessly in love with George after seeing “Careless Whisper” (didn’t we all?) I saw George with my best friend at Texas Stadium in 1988 and then again in 2008 with another good friend. He was fantastic both times. So glad I have those memories. ❤Wish I’d been able to see Wham too-still love their music. I even introduced them to my 13 year old-she loves Last Christmas and Careless Whisper.

Wonderful ,deeply emotional and in fact inspiring stories form the Wham gang. George is having a laugh and a giggle I'm sure. This is Fab radio!

The performance they gave at Top of the Pops was so amazing. They grabbed it by the balls and completely owned it. :) My wife and I loved the documentary!

I'm so glad I found this. I've watched the documentary and can't believe how young they were! These guys were very important to me when I was at a very low place in my life. Still a huge Wham! Fan.

Друзья Джорджа Майкла были прекрасными ,выступали вместе несколько лет Ширли и Эндрю были очень близкими в отношениях ,доверяли друг другу многое !Они могут рассказать очень интересные истории в их дружбе !Джордж всегда был великолепным ,интересным человеком в жизни !Очень жаль ,что прожил не очень долгую жизнь ,но успел написать много прекрасной музыки и песен !Скоро было бы день рождение Джорджа 25 июня ,исполнилось бы ему 60 лет (юбилей)!Вечная память великому артисту !!!

Watched the documentary moments after it dropped on Netflix, had no idea it was coming, was the best surprise. I spent practically every night of my senior year of high school using the Cool Side of the Music From the Edge of Heaven album to help me drift off to sleep. I can’t believe it’s been almost 40 years. I’ve been in this state of …melancholy, almost, longing to have just one more day as that 17 year old girl again.

Wham Rap was a hit to me. I was 14 & remember hearing this & Young Guns. From that day my bedroom was totally wallpapered with posters, magazine clippings & album covers. I was never easily influenced by trends but I became a true Go Go Girl. Fluoro pink socks, tube skirts & that iconic tshirt. I had every single, 12” release & every album. Still remember at 15 my dad driving me to my first big concert in Melbourne. Oh the excitement being surrounded by thousands of screaming girls in a venue so big it was quite overwhelming. What amazing years they were!!!! Was devastated when they broke up as they were my real first crush💕. Thanks for a great interview & taking me back to my youth. Those years were so incredible for so many artists & music in general. We were all so lucky to be apart of it.
