The Graham Norton Show Series 17 starts Friday 10 April on BBC ONE

Thought I'd start this thread as the show returns this Friday after it's break.

Guests for the first show are: Stanley Tucci, Harry Enfield, Paul Whitehouse and music from Years and Years.

Looking forward to Enfield and Whitehouse especially as they don't normally do the chat shows

Good line up, I really all three of them.

Sounds as exciting as cold rice pudding
Will Graham still sport that silly beard

He looked like a West Highland White Terrier dog

I wouldn't be surprised if there's an extra guest this week.
I am surprised at how the show takes a while to reveal the guests for upcoming episodes. I only found out about this week's guests through British Comedy Guide as the official site has nothing for Series 17. I thought we'd at least have next week's guests as well.

Maybe we'll find out more tomorrow after the Easter break.

She has already been on it recently; talking about the "tattoo" she was alleged to have done (hope I got my facts right on that)

Dame Judy is always on standby for Graham Norton, wrapped in clingfilm for freshness.

I used to find it quite entertaining, but it's time to put it to bed. It's stale, it's predicable and the guests are nearly always American B-listers who hardly anybody knows.

Waiting for Benedict Cumberbatch to finish brushing his teeth before making their way to the studio together.

"Who hardly anyone knows".

I knew of pretty much every single guest that appeared on the last series before it aired. Graham still manages to rope in really famous guests, in fairness to him.

Kim Cattrall is on tonight as well

Well he certainly has a better line-up than Rossy can muster most weeks.

Anyone know what Tucci is promoting? He's in the latest Jason Statham film (Wild Card) but I didn't think he had a big part and Fortitude has just finished, so I doubt it is that.

Kim Cattrall is another Dame Judi/Benedict Cumberbatch/Daniel Radcliffe tbh.

How many more anecdotes can she actually have to tell at this point?

That is more than any other show gets

Can you imagine Carr snagging Will Smith, Becks and Hugh Jackman?

Wossy was pulling A-listers out of his ass most weeks back on the BBC

Now he's lucky if he can get a mid level TV personality

What happened, did that scandal just burn all leverage he had or was the BBC simply one large catalyst, that now he's on ITV is simply not there
