Will everyone be happy?The Graham Norton Show has been hit with a potentially unwelcome change tonight that might leave some viewers groaning.
Fans tuning in to the BBC chat show will quickly notice the format has been switched up for this week.
Graham is in his usual slot as usual, so nothing has changed there, but the episode won’t be as you might expect.
Usually Graham welcomes a host of new faces to his red sofa for a chinwag about their latest projects.
So what is different tonight?
The Graham Norton Show tonight: All change
Avid fans might find tonight’s episode of The Graham Norton Show all looks a little bit… familiar. Well, that’s because it will be.
The show is a compilation of highlights from this series, rather than a brand new episode. This is great if you need to catch up, but not if you’ve watched every episode religiously!
Graham’s last ‘new’ show of the series was actually last week. He was seen interviewing Gordon Ramsay, Jennifer Garner and Benicio del Toro.
