Tonight’s guests include Felicity Jones and Stephen Merchant, and also makes room, on the same couch, for Armie Hammer and Rob Beckett. And, demonstrating the unique chemistry and unpredictability of Graham Norton’s cozy talk show, at one point it’s the lesser-known Beckett who has everyone else rapt, and laughing.

Tonight’s new episode is called “Ace Chemicals,” which means, at long last, we should be arriving at the point in the Batman story line in which a chemical accident results in the creation of the frozen-faced villain known as the Joker.
