Radio Times: Review by:; Alison Graham

I recently attended a Graham Norton Show recording, so I can bear witness that it’s a brilliantly slick operation and Norton is a master of audience-wrangling, winning us all over immediately and making us feel a big part of the show — though not bigger than the array of guests, who we’ll see again in this end-of-series compilation.

Remember Madonna, being her usual steely and scary self, despite Norton’s efforts to try to get her to loosen up a bit? And what of the great Sir David Attenborough, all soft and mooning, not over a gorilla, but a comely young woman — actress Cameron Diaz? Just watch his face as he hangs on her every single word.

We also see again Dame Judi Dench, Hugh Grant, Katy Perry and the voluble, unstoppable force that is Will Smith.
