Graham Norton is still the King of Latenight

As I flip on the TV and am immediately reminded of just how brilliant Graham Norton is.

Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 19th February 2017

It's a sturdy lineup for Mr Norton, who currently appears to have no competition whatsoever in the talkshow stakes. Tonight sees Tom Hiddleston chatting about new movie Kong: Skull Island; Ruth Wilson talking about Hedda Gabler at the National Theatre; Ricky Gervais on his new standup tour; and Daniel Radcliffe and Joshua McGuire on appearing in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead at London's Old Vic. Oh, and Tinie Tempah playing live.

Whether you love it or loathe it, the last 10 minutes of The Graham Norton Show - where muggles tell the nation an anecdote and risk the indignity of being flung backwards on the whim of the host - is a distinctly British talkshow tradition. There have been a whopping 500 red-chair stories, and this behind-the-scenes special sees repeats of Graham's favourites, and interviews with those who have faced the infamous flip.

Big Red Chair: tales that "changed lives"

The Big Red Chair is the ultimate advocate of over-sharing, and a one-off special in its honour tonight is well worth a watch, says Ellie Harrison.

BBC to broadcast Graham Norton's Big Red Chair special

BBC One is to broadcast Graham Norton's Big Red Chair, a special that meets the people who have entertained the nation with their stories on The Graham Norton Show.

Channel 4 seems to be positioning Alan Carr's Happy Hour as a challenger to Norton's Friday-evening chokehold. But the Chatty Man still has a way to go to match Norton's cheek and charm. Norton commands a higher calibre of guest, too; tonight, A-listers Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt will be discussing their imminent sci-fi film, Passengers, and, just possibly, recent events in their home country. Emeli Sandé brings the tunes.

Following famously fatuous blockbuster Batman v Superman, the more tantalising proposition of Batman versus Attenborough becomes semi-reality as Ben Affleck hits the Norton sofa to promote action thriller The Accountant, while David Attenborough arrives to discuss keenly anticipated natural history sequel Planet Earth 2. Elsewhere, Claire Foy and Matt Smith reveal the truth behind playing the Queen and Prince Philip.

Graham Norton's dream guests

"My answer used to be Brad [Pitt] and Angelina [Jolie], but I don't think that is happening now," he told us, referring to Brangelina's bombshell divorce filing last month.
