Graham Norton's plans surprise if Beyonce returns

Graham Norton has a jig surprise planned for Beyonce if she appears on his chat show again.

I plug rotten films, admits Graham Norton

Chat show host Graham Norton has admitted promoting "terrible" films simply to get stars to appear on his BBC1 show.

The latest series of the Telegraph agony uncles's playful chat vehicle rattles on with customary vim. This week's guests include former Friends star Matt LeBlanc, and Hollywood hunk Zac Efron, who will be talking about his latest film, [i]The Lucky One]. Though his eyebrow-cocked patter may not be as daring as it once was, Norton is ever the candid conversationalist. His disarming charm makes for entertaining interviews.

It's not the first time Ronnie Corbett has perched on Graham's red couch, but when he last appeared on the show in 2009 he was sitting next to a near-hysterical Ricky Gervais. This time Hugh Grant joins the recently decorated comedian (Corbett received a CBE in the last Honours List) so it may be a more sombre conversation, presuming Grant is prepared to discuss his recent statements to the Leveson Inquiry about alleged phone hacking as well as promoting his latest film.

Titillating talk-show host and Telegraph columnist Graham Norton has an all-male line-up tonight. He's joined by British actor Damian Lewis, who's currently garnering rave reviews for his role in Channel 4's US spy drama Homeland. Lewis's fellow Etonian Dominic West - who starred in the searing US crime saga The Wire - drops by to talk about his latest film John Carter, about an American Civil War veteran mysteriously transported to Mars. Also among the guests are French actor Gérard Depardieu and singer Olly Murs, who performs his new single Oh My Goodness.

Titillating talk-show host and Telegraph columnist Graham Norton is graced with a Hollywood great tonight. He's joined by Oscar-winner and professional ditz Goldie Hawn. Actor John Cusack also drops by to talk about his latest film The Raven, a fictionalised account of the last days of macabre mystery-writer Edgar Allan Poe, while music comes from rockers Kasabian, performing their latest single Goodbye Kiss.

He may be ubiquitous these days but Graham Norton's spiciness and sass, backed with smart ad-libbing skills, still make him a talk-show treat. Tonight the Telegraph columnist chats to actor Mark Wahlberg, in town with new action thriller Contraband, along with singer and actress Minnie Driver and comedian Jo Brand.

Judi Dench's 'Graham Norton' appearance draws 4.1m

The Graham Norton Show drew 4.1m (26.9%) viewers on Friday as Judi Dench and Dev Patel dropped by to promote their new film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

National treasure Dame Judi Dench may bring an unfamiliar air of gravitas to Norton's saucy sofa as she snuggles in alongside Slumdog Millionaire Dev Patel, one of her co-stars in new big-screen comedy drama The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Music comes from Will Young, whose continuing success is an itch Simon Cowell just can't scratch.
