Graham Norton gets prime cuts, Jonathan Ross get scrag end

It looks like the old Jonathan Ross has gone forever. Maybe the Sachsgate scandal beat it out of him. Maybe he's grown lazy in his old age.

Beaming into Graham Norton's starry ship tonight, Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch talks about venturing over to the dark side for a warp-factor adventure in Star Trek Into Darkness. Also in for a chat is Cumberbatch's co-star Chris Pine, who's stepping into the shoes of the legendary Captain James T Kirk. While Sex And The City's Kim Cattrall goes along for the ride, Bonnie Tyler tries to totally eclipse the lot of them with her rendition of Believe In Me, the UK's entry for Eurovision 2013.

In the first two episodes, the gap left by the departed Tim Vine's character was filled with farcical plots. Tonight, things calm down and we veer as close to emotion as this endearingly flippant series gets. Lucy is doing night classes in psychotherapy, so Lee (Lee Mack, a Graham Norton guest tonight) mocks the whole idea - before submitting to counselling himself. Perhaps his failure with relationships has roots in his upbringing?

Enter Bobby Ball as Lee's dad. There are deeper waters than usual under the gags, but dim friend Daisy keeps it light. Daisy: "You said you wanted to damage the bike!" Lucy: "No, I said I wanted to break the cycle."

Oblivion is the latest Cruise blockbuster to hit the multiplexes and he's talking it up here alongside co-star Olga Kurylenko as Graham Norton checks in for a new series, mere moments after the last one finished. There's more movie talk from Gerard Butler, plugging Olympus Has Fallen, with music from pop-goths Paramore.
