Robbie Williams seems to have fought a lot of demons. Good on him.

Totally invented story surely. No interest whatsoever, Just makes him look like he's still on "stuff"

As I said Williams needing to be centre of attention and ruining the show. No talent so shock value replaces talent. His song was the obvious "I have no talent so get others to do the hard work for me." BS. Timberlake looked so out of touch with real people it was embarrassing, Radcliffe was the saving grave and I say that as someone who's never watched Harry Potter.

Pretty bad first show back. Second and third seem to have better guests so fingers crossed. Though the show has become more and more scripted over the years which is a shame.

Daniel Radcliffe is a triumph. Someone who came to super-stardom as a child is usually a wreck by young adulthood. He should have been sitting in Timberlake's spot in the couch.

Can't agree about JT, he has never done Graham and was perfectly at ease. He must have been embarrassed by Robbie's performance especially as Robbie seemed to intimate that they were Hollywood mates

I worry about what he can do in the future. In the extract of that film in the truck he looked like a 12 year old child driving. It was quite awkward. He's a good actor but I fear his height is going to be a problem

He's not 'on something' that's just what he's like.

Couldnt watch it, no interest in JT and even less about Robbie, Daniel Radcliffe is a good guy but that wasnt enough for me to tune in, poor start to the new series.

Not watched this yet but will for Dainel Radcliffe. I luv him Why does Robbie admit he is gay. For me it's so obvious. Oh .. and cannot stand him.

It would feel so much better if some of them didn't flog their film or book so hard. We know why they're there. And giving them the most air-time when some of the less well known people are so much more interesting is another reason why I'm not as big a fan as I once was.

That story smelt of BS, in fact I've definitely heard the "we don't have a cleaner on whatever day" before.

She is awesome but everything seemed to be just directed at either Justin or Daniel.

I know that people love to complain about the show, but we're one episode in. Why are you saying that the rest of the guests for the upcoming 20 something episodes are probably rubbish

Never heard of her
What does she do?
Apart from pretending to be shocked (she's a 31 year old woman, I see) and hiding behind her hand?

I'm not sure why age automatically stops people from being shocked/embarrassed, but she's quite a popular actress/singer.

She's been in over 30 films, including the (in my opinion) rather good Up In the Air with Clooney, for which she also sang Time After Time and was Oscar nominated, winning various other awards for the role.

She's also sung on 7 film soundtracks.

Justin Timberlake is good value on chat shows. He's totally inoffensive, he will dance or sing, the audience react to him, hosts get the best out of him. Sometimes he can be grating and take over to show how much of a fun person he is but he got the tone right on this one. And I loved Anna Kendrick, I especially love how she was introduced as the "Oscar nominated actress from Up In The Air and stars in the Pitch Perfect movies" but there's no mention of her life as a vampire on Twilight

Dan Radcliffe was far too hyper and awkward for my liking but the way he persevered with explaining his movie was admirable.

And dear oh dear Robbie Williams. His publicist's nightmare realised once again but also what's with the slip-on shoes and no socks? And the song was absolutely unbearable, almost like he wrote it using the poet fridge magnets.

Next week seems like a good show.

I thought it was a trainwreck, very incoherent, very stop and go, very guarded, until Robbie came and put the show where it belongs, down in the gutter I think only then they all relaxed and drop their guards. Also the song was good, makes you take notice the moment it starts, which is always good.
