That doesn't say much for previous shows so. I thought last night's show was boring. The guests didn't bounce off each other.

Ah, at least their was a few funnies. Only funny bit last week was the rain/water at the begining.

Its definitely slipping.

RobertKK · 11-10-2014 4:30pm

It had the highest viewership last night for the current run.

Taylor Swift was always going to dominate the show last night, the highest earning singer in the world.

Neither of those facts made for good television though, and for all the singers fans who tuned in this week, how many will come back, whilst non-fans endured a crap show as a result and might not bother. I think this series has been generally poor.

Only one red chair per episode so far

Next weeks line up is very promising.

KP what an asshole

Tipsy McSwagger · 12-10-2014 9:54am

There was no chemistry between the guests and they sat well apart from each other. Cleese didn't want to be there and wore the same clothes he was wearing all day while flogging his book. KP is smug and unlikable. Swift was boring and unfunny but the audience and host were treating her like she was hilarious.

The show was summed up when Neil Diamond was talking and GN cut him off so Taylor Swift could tell some boring story about singing with Jon Bon Jovi and Prince William. The look on Diamonds face was priceless.

What's the problem with Cleese not changing his clothes...?

I wear the same clothes all day too. That must be wrong.

evolving_doors · 12-10-2014 10:46am

bit of a dull show,
Anyone hear about nortons 'struggle' with alcohol in the news! Basically he's dealing with it by accepting he has a problem but finds the 'giving up alcohol' part unnecessary. I dont think that would wash with many of the celebs...

anyway ..Bad line up mix or Norton off form?

Who said there was a problem? Look at what KP wore and look at what Cleese wore and tell me who made it obvious the show was just another stop to flog his book. Cleese was entertaining but he got to speak for around 2 minutes so I wouldn't blame the man for not giving a crap.

Tipsy McSwagger · 17-10-2014 11:34pm

Really good tonight apart from RDJ which was a surprise as he's usually a top guest. The U2 acoustic song at the end was brilliant.

lertsnim · 17-10-2014 11:41pm

The acoustic song was much better than the other one they did. The show was great for the first half. It went down a notch or two when U2 came on imo.

CarrickMcJoe · 17-10-2014 11:41pm

Gotta say, U2 nailed it tonight. Thought they were excellent, missed the rest of the show though.

I think his mam died recently, he's probably not in top form right now maybe.. I actually really liked bono for once!

clappyhappy · 17-10-2014 11:49pm

I really enjoyed the show, I love Stephen Fry, could listen to him all night.

Not a huge U2 fan, but they were very good tonight. Graham was so cool with them, imagine if tubridy was interviewing them he would be slobbering all over them. The acoustic song at the end "song for someone" was brilliant. Top show on a Friday night, beats the ****e on the late late.

Ha ha, avoided saying that myself, it's like when people say "Now, I'm not a racist, butt...".

Missed this.
Where can I see the repeat anyone know.

tunguska · 18-10-2014 11:47am

Thought Robert Duvall was brilliant, his stories were hilarious. He has this dry wit about him. Classy guy.

Addle · 18-10-2014 6:16pm

In advance, I was looking forward to seeing RDJ and Fry, but it was Duvall and U2 that impressed me.
The iTunes debacle seems to have tamed bono a bit-no harm.
Great episode.

Watching the repeat on 3e now.Bono and Adam have particularly gravity-defying hairstyles.Bono has quite a good sense of humour in fairness.

the whole year inn · 18-10-2014 10:31pm

Yea great episode,Norton is a great host and the format he does works very well.
Bone rocked it hard and duvall telling stories about brondo was great.

Sorry but not sorry

No longer the hardest word, a public apology is now the defence strategy of the rich and powerful. Can it still do good?

dublinman1990 · 19-10-2014 12:30am

I just watched the episode for this week and I have to say it was a very enjoyable show. There was great energy among the guests for that week.

U2 did a great job on their acoustic performance of "Song for someone". I enjoyed their songs immeasurably.

I lol'd when Duvall couldn't remember what film he did with Stephen Fry

Loved his Brando stories

Mars Bar · 20-10-2014 12:24am

It was a great episode. Really enjoyed it!

Tipsy McSwagger · 01-11-2014 12:34am

Felt sorry for Micky Flanagan on tonight's show, mostly ignored and stuck on the couch with 2 ignoramus's showing him no respect and ruining his story. Matthew McConaughey was good but those 2 women were awful.

HeidiHeidi · 01-11-2014 12:40am

Are you in a different timezone? Just watching, and was thinking exactly that - but hoped he'd get a word in edgeways somewhere along the way.

He must be wondering why he was invited on.....

HeidiHeidi · 01-11-2014 12:53am

He did get a word in edgeways eventually!

WTF is this musical item?

furiousox · 01-11-2014 12:56am

Lena Dunham is better looking than Anne Hathaway....imo.

yipeeeee · 01-11-2014 12:56am

Whole thing came across as pretentious twaddle. Kinda thing you'd expect in a loft in NYC stuffed with hipsters. I was enjoying Mickeys story till the other two interrupted it. He handled it well and must be a bit pissed he was so ignored. McConaughey was effortlessly cool as always.

And they copped on how ignorant they were too. "i'm so cold", wear something on your shoulders so. The two men were entertaining and the silly bints in the middle were annoying.

Not too sure what I think of Sia. It was interesting and if she wants to do here performance like that then more power to her. I found her and her dancer more entertaining than other people Norton has had on there

Mars Bar · 01-11-2014 5:27pm

McCouneghy is enough to make me pass on this weeks episode

Dozen Wicked Words · 01-11-2014 5:54pm

Giving up on Graham Norton I think, poor this series. Blame the bookers as much as anything. Some really poor choices. Appreciate they have to get who's on promotion tours but still think they could do better.

Iranoutofideas · 02-11-2014 12:03am

In fairness he consistently has excellent guests compared to other shows.

Lena Dunham was awful though. I was delighted to see Mickey Flanagan take the piss out of her. You could tell she was fuming too.

It's more the combination of guests he has had this year. Very meh for me anyway.

Anne and Lena talked way too much and were unfunny and uninteresting
