    I agree it was so funny. I now love Will.i.am. and would watch the others no matter what they were on. Graham norton rocks:)

    Each to their own I suppose. I thought the back and forth between will i am and Miriam Margolyes was gas..

    Miriam Margolyes was a gas playing her doddery aul wan character (except for the Little Dorrit bit which didn't work well imo). And surprisingly I also warmed to will.i.am a bit.

    No sense of humour so! That was great. Very few shows on TV that you would see a world famous rapper and a 71 year old classic theatre performing making each other laugh like that...

    I just think Will.I.Am has no charisma about him when he talks.

    To be fair, he was being limited by his inability to use the word "Like"!

    I thought he really got into it. When she was telling her stories, the look on his face was something else!

    I like Will.I.Am a lot. I knew he was a genius in his own world - producing, rapping etc, never realised he is such a philanthropist.

    That was very funny - some very odd stories told.

    I just watched it lastnight, I thought it was brilliant, one of the funniest GN shows I've ever seen actually. I thought the banter between will I am and Miriam was adorable! Her acting bit was great.

    I agree - saw it last Friday night and thought the show was hilarious - best GN show in a while.

    I think the contrast between the urban (Will.I.Am) and the quaint (Miriam Margolyes) is what made it so funny. It also goes to show how much different the BBC/English TV is in general to America; when Miriam commented that she didn't know many black people and that it was nice/joked(or maybe it was serious?) about misunderstanding what he was saying, it would likely have caused uproar across the States. However, they just laughed it off.

    Genius?? Average pop producer and a terrible rhymer of words, could hardly be considered a rapper, not anymore anyway.

    Will comes across as a very likeable character. Also the philantopist side is very impressive as I wasn't aware of any of this.

    Also an old theatrical lesbian **** off a soldier who was in a tree is an epic story in on any program!
