7 October looks like too packed a couch. And I'm not sure why Graham keeps having John Bishop on - the American guests never have the slightest clue what he's saying. It was funny the first time, but it's getting a little old now. I'm a little over Miranda Hart's schtick by this point too.

Ewan McGregor's usually entertaining, and Amy Adams seemed very likeable on past appearances. Has Anna Kendrick been on before? She seems quite funny from what I've seen of her.

Quite. I remember when John Bishop was on with Hugh Jackman and Billy Crystal. It was a good show but Billy Crystal looked so confused whenever John Bishop was speaking. Anna Kendrick was on last year I believe.

The trouble with this show is he keeps getting the same guests every few months. And he tends to have a lot of American over to talk about thier new film. And they do tend to take over a tad. I also feel if your the token funny person at the end of the sofa and it's full of Amerricans they tend to miss you out a bit and when they do get the odd question the American ones don't get it and just pretend to gt it and laugh. I don't know why they feel they've got to cram the show full of people. Better to have fewer guests and do a proper interview with them than darting about trying to ask every one a question and include them.

I wonder if he'll get Tom Cruise on again since he's promoting Jack Reacher, I'm surprised Tom Hanks isn't appearing for Inferno unless he's doing Jonathan Ross this time around, he'll probably be on the show to promote Sully in December.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have a Doctor Strange special with Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton etc or Fantastic Beasts since they are the two big films coming soon.

£50 says there'll be a bit where he turns to the rest of the guests and asks them if they can understand john Bishop and they'll all say "No"... like the last 3 times he's been on.

Like the look of the 2nd and third episodes not keen on the first as I'm not that interested in any of the guests and Robbie Williams will likely try and hijack it when he comes on hopefully he won't pop up until the end for the singing and last minute or two.

Not as bothered by Bishop as others sure they'll do the normal "Do you understand him" part but he usually has a decent rapport with most of the other guests. Looking forward to Danny Devito he's usually good for a laugh.

John Bishop reckons he's a chat show host now so perhaps that'll make him more bearable?

I know, how likely is that?!?!

I used to enjoy The Graham Norton show once, but it's becoming more and more like Groundhog Day. The same guests keep reappearing far too often. (imo)

I hope there's less prompted anecdotes.
I feel like there's too much focus on them, and I always fear any of then not making the audience laugh, could be abit akward, lol.

Twice a year (at most) is too often? Blimey, you should try watching the American shows. You can get Will Smith on every late night talk show in one week and then again 6 weeks later when he's got another film out.

Sorry to say but this is typical British moaning. Tall poppy syndrome - anyone who is successful is in for some scorn. Graham is popular, so guests want to appear - what's the problem?

Used to love the show but it is getting very samey.

Lets see how tonight is.

Episode 2 looks way too rammed. The best thing about the show in its prime was how intimate it was with the 2 or 3 guests and the banter they had with the audience. It's lost that magic the last few years.

No one is criticising Norton himself, more the show 'selling out' a little. Same guests, same anecdotes, same sycophancy towards each other (especially actors).

Well, the American guests keep coming back

Also I like the British comedian at the end of the couch. In fact I like anyone whose British....

He spoilt the whole atmosphere. I would have been so embarrassed. What a lewd "joke". Robbie always has to make it about him

If you're talking about Timberlake and Anna Kendrick, they're actually quite good friends.
