Norton's sofa is even more crowded than usual. Jessica Chastain, who will make plenty of sharp contributions to any debate about the film industry's ingrained misogyny, will be alongside Pitch Perfect 3 star Rebel Wilson and the lone Brit, Dawn French. Those three would be fine by themselves, but Norton also welcomes Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black as they promote Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

Radio Times review

With Zoolander 2 stars Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Penélope Cruz in the house, it's safe to say the Graham Norton sofa is really, really, ridiculously good-looking. The chat-show host will be catching up with the trio and also entertaining Jack Black, who's stopping by to talk about his new big-screen adaptation of RL Stine's classic Goosebumps books. And as if that wasn't enough, Sir Elton John is on hand to provide a tune, chatting and performing Blue Wonderful from his new album. Friday night's all right for dancing too, y'know. Go on, have a shimmy on the sofa.

You'd never guess that IT Crowd actor Chris O'Dowd was now hobnobbing with the likes of Judd Apatow and Jack Black judging by this charming little comedy based on his inauspicious upbringing in late 1980s/early 1990 Ireland. It was born from the Little Cracker short that O'Dowd wrote for Sky1 in 2010 and sees him play the imaginary friend of 12-year-old Martin Moone (David Rawle), a boy who spends his days drawing, formulating crackpot schemes and generally trying to negotiate life with his scatty family.
