Our voluble host talks to venerable actor John Hurt, who received the Outstanding Contribution to Film award at last weekend's Baftas. Hurt is joined on a busy banquette of showbiz banter by Keith Lemon, Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby from panel show Celebrity Juice, and American actress Christina Ricci, star of BBC Two's period airline drama Pan Am, which climaxes tonight. Electro party pop duo LMFAO perform.
The Telegraph, 17th February 2012Jonathan Ross is on his way out, but all hail Graham Norton, whose chat show is breezy, silly and a perfect nightcap at the end of the first day of the working week. I particularly like the way all of his guests end up on the sofa together, rather than each scurrying off to the green room after their moments in the spotlight to giggle self-consciously while everyone else has their turn. Some of the best bits of the last series involved high jinks between the stars, like the hopelessly solipsistic Katie Price coming under the withering gaze of a mischievous Jo Brand. Or model/actress Lily Cole looking lost as she droned on about her new film, while Sue Perkins and Isabella Rossellini were there just to enjoy themselves. Tonight's guests Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant should be good value as they discuss their new film Cemetery Junction. They'll be joined by actress Christina Ricci, and there's music from Pixie Lott.
