Sandra Bullock

The corrective effect of the Ocean's 8 cast ripples out into chatshows: Norton tonight has a sofa full of smart, funny women. Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter discuss their new heist movie, with Years & Years playing their latest single, If You're Over Me.

Alan Davies: Piers Morgan is detestable

He's a fan of Arsenal, Homeland and anything with Sandra Bullock in - but he won't watch EastEnders.

The mighty Graham Norton returned to his Friday night chat-berth last week, when he was greeted with open arms by viewers, and tonight the slightly less mighty Ross is back. The unspoken but received wisdom is that Norton gets the good guests, but the opening show is stellar. Tom Hanks is the guest everyone wants because he's a pro - easy-going, effortlessly funny, he knows what's required of him and he delivers. He'' with Ross tonight to talk about his new film Captain Phillips, based on the true story of the hijacking of a ship by Somali pirates. The word "Oscar" is already being bandied about. Fellow guest Sandra Bullock could be up for glittering prizes too with her new film Gravity, about stranded astronauts.

It's Graham Norton's last soirée of the series (next week's episode is a best-bits review) but he'll have to go some to top Chris O'Dowd's fly-eating moment. He's lined up a pair of Hollywood heavyweights for the occasion: Samuel L Jackson, talking about his latest role as campaign chairman of One For The Boys, a charity raising awareness of men's health problems, and Sandra Bullock, whose cop comedy The Heat is out next month.
