Given the most we've seen of Luke Skywalker in recent times was a quick flash of his still-cherubic face at the very end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, space geeks will be happy to hear that Mark Hamill is among Norton's guests this week in a studio far, far away, plugging new Wars flick The Last Jedi. He'll be occupying sofa space with co-stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. Sam Smith supplies sincero-balladry with new single Pray.

Norton's sofa is even more crowded than usual. Jessica Chastain, who will make plenty of sharp contributions to any debate about the film industry's ingrained misogyny, will be alongside Pitch Perfect 3 star Rebel Wilson and the lone Brit, Dawn French.

Graham Norton: We've run out of guests

Graham said: "Honestly, the chat show is kind of an embarrassment now! People used to ask me who I wanted on and I'd say Madonna or whatever. But they've all kind of done it now. So I've sort of run out."
