The Telegraph, 28th June 2014Radio Times review
Either actress Emily Blunt is a smart, funny person or she's unbelievably good at chat shows. If you've seen her previous appearance on Norton's show - memorably jousting with Russell Brand - you'll know she's terrific value, and the fact that she had a baby this year can only, hopefully, add to her stock of funny stories.
It says something for the show's pulling power that Blunt is probably the least starry name on the sofa. Her co-star in sci-fi thriller Edge of Tomorrow Tom Cruise returns to the show - oh yes - while Seth MacFarlane and Charlize Theron drop by to promote their comedy western A Million Ways to Die in the West. Making up the numbers on music duties are a band called Coldplay.
