7 times Benedict Cumberbatch proved he's the best Graham Norton guest.
Sarah Doran, Radio Times, 27th November 2015Radio Times review
Maggie Smith doesn't need to do chat shows, so she usually doesn't. The latest coup for Graham Norton is that he's persuaded Smith to grace a TV sofa for the first time in 42 years, to discuss her new film, Alan Bennett's The Lady in the Van - and to discuss the end of Downton Abbey, no doubt.
Alongside the Dame are her co-star Alex Jennings; Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller, the two leads in new chef drama Burnt; and the ever-regal Cindy Crawford, who's 50 next year and has a coffee-table photo-memoir out. Justin Bieber more or less provides music.
Jack Seale, Radio Times, 30th October 2015Radio Times review
The stars of Steve Jobs, the Danny Boyle film about the co-founder of Apple that closed the recent London Film Festival, are on Graham's sofa this evening. It's unlikely that we'll see a repeat of Michael Fassbender's wonderfully cool dance to Blurred Lines that he did when he was on the show with his X Men co-stars 18 months ago - unless it happens to be a favourite tune of Kate Winslet's, too. Also on the bill is Brooklyn star Julie Walters - a regular guest on the show because she is always such terrific value - as well as rapper 50 Cent.

The Guardian, 15th September 2015Graham Norton interview
His new book is about all the things he adores, dogs, divas and alcohol but Graham Norton is also a strong supporter of the BBC and not just because it employs him.
Bryony Gordon, The Telegraph, 16th July 2015Radio Times review
It's been another gem of a series. Week by week Norton makes getting the best from A-listers and choreographing good-natured but sharp-edged chat look easy. If he hasn't been cheering up your Friday nights, catch the highlights of the run here - sure to include Chris Pratt's TOWIE impression, George Clooney describing his honeymoon and Seth McFarlane singing "Cyndi Laupe" in a Stewie-from-Family-Guy voice.
