Heather Graham

With Graham Norton set to join BBC One's chat-show line-up, toothy comedian Alan Carr attempts to fill the hole that Norton left on his defection in 2004 with this new show. Sadly, it just appears to be a rehash of Norton's So formula - sketches with celebrity cameos, an irreverent take on showbiz news and the internet. On the plus side, Carr's guests are presenter Bruce Forsyth, actress Heather Graham and actor-cum-journalist Ross Kemp. Pet Shop Boys provide the music.

The comedian Alan Carr is certain to be a distinctive chat show host, each week offering what the programme-makers call "a good old natter with three celebrity guests from the showbiz world". No surprise appearance from Barack Obama, then. His guests tonight are Bruce Forsyth, the US actress Heather Graham (Scrubs, The Spy Who Shagged Me) and Ross Kemp, whose documentary series In Search of Pirates on Sky1 has become one of the highlights of the week's viewing. The Pet Shop Boys will close the show with a performance of their latest single, Did You See Me Coming?
