THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW
October 18, 2014  | By David Bianculli

BBC America, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

This talk show has three elements that make it distinctive, and particularly entertaining, from the viewpoint of a U.S. viewer watching this U.K. import. One, most of the guests come out at the start, and stay and intermingle for the whole hour. Two, the guests are top-notch: This week’s guests, for a (sterling) example, include John Cleese, Taylor Swift and Neil Diamond. And three: There’s usually one British-based celebrity in the lot, someone who is unfamiliar to stateside viewers at the start, but memorable and likable by the time the show’s over. (See: James Corden, soon to come to the U.S. as the next host of The Late Late Show on CBS.) And who is that type of guest tonight? Cricket player Kevin Petersen!
