The Graham Norton Show

Happy New Year, everyone. :roll_eyes:

The final new episode of the current season (S33E19) airs on the BBC tomorrow, February 20, to be followed by two compilation episodes.

10 has still 7-8 episodes to go after this week.

Does anyone know if any episodes were skipped?

I know a couple were fast tracked and played out of order, but I thought there was 1 episode that has not aired

I think the missing episode on 10 was from 29 November 2025.

Glenn Close, Alexander Skarsgård, Miriam Margolyes, Nicola Coughlan and Jessie J.

Thank you again. That was the one. 10 have scheduled it in late March.

After that episode has aired that will just leave the final 2 episodes of the season plus the 2 compile episodes

Three things I learn from tonight’s episode:

  1. Rachel McAdams backpacked around Australia when she was 19, and visited Magnetic Island off North Queensland. (Rachel was born on November 17, 1978, so she would have come Down Under in about 1998)
  2. Halle Berry’s mum as well as maternal grandmother was originally from Liverpool
  1. Chris Hemsworth filmed a Crocodile Hunter parody as a home video

Not this tourism ad from six years ago?

No, this parody was shot when Chris was a teenager growing up in Melbourne. Chris and his parents watched the video in their former home during the filming of the National Geographic documentary, Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember, which is streaming on Disney+.

This episode will be shown on Thursday, March 26.

A promo shown tonight says the episode is rated MA. Does anyone know why?

Sexual References.

And there were LOTS of sexual references in this episode.

You can see the chat with Damon Albarn during the episode on 10 tonight at 8.40pm.

It was a great episode to conclude the season, plenty of funny and interesting bits. I didn’t know that Benicio del Toro had a cameo in a Madonna music video.

The episode, which went to air in the UK on February 20, finished with a tribute to actor Robert Duvall who died on February 15 this year. The clip from his appearance in 2014 (S16E04) was shown, in which Robert talked about mooning people with Marlon Brando while shooting The Godfather.

I hope 10 will fasttrack each episode of the new season (say six days after the UK broadcast) and show it in the correct broadcast order.

Put it at 8:30 Saturday’s (hours after broadcast) and leave it there 10! Encore it in another slot if you must. It’s not like it sets the world on fire ratings wise anyway.

SEASON 34 PREMIERE

Sunday 4 October 8:00 PM

Tom Cruise, Florence Pugh, Lolly Adefope and John Bishop join Graham on his sofa. With music from Emeli Sande.

Premieres on BBC on 25 September so fairly fast turn around.

New episodes. Woooo.

However, it us up against Nine’s NRL Grand Final that night. So sadly, ratings will be on the low end that night.
