The Graham Norton Show

Telegraph columnist and ubiquitous TV host Graham Norton returns with a new series of his anarchic chat show. Tonight's guests include comedians Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who discuss their new film Cemetery Junction. They'll be joined on the sofa by actress Christina Ricci and there's music from Pixie Lott.

If you happen to find yourself relaxing in an armchair in front of the television as the end of the decade approaches, you can do much worse than titter away the last hour of the Noughties in the frisky company of Graham Norton and his lively chat show. Joining him in a satirical review of the year are Dominic West, the British actor and star of the American drama series The Wire, the evergreen comedian Joan Rivers, and Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker. Followed by the New Year Fireworks over the Thames in London (BBC One, 11.45pm).

TV matters: The Graham Norton Show

Graham Norton's back - and he's parked his tanks firmly on Jonathan Ross's lawn.

The quasi-anarchic chat show switches channels from BBC2 to BBC1. Which to me seems less of a jarring move than moving Norton's antics to a Monday night, when they'd seem far more suitable nearer the end of the week - although I suppose that would then create a clash with Jonathan Ross.

Although Graham Norton was in his finest form about five years ago on Channel 4, his squawky chat show moves tonight to BBC One. The first guests are that rare combination of the incomprehensible and the ageless, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, chat show perennial Ricky Gervais (who was on Jonathan Ross's show just a month ago) and ballad mistress Olivia Newton-John.
