’LUMHIH’
Five weeks in.
Five guest-star performers.
Oh, my word.
Five new bands.
This looks like an extremely strong band.
Every single one of them’s a great singer.
But who will make the final cut?
The first boy in this band is...
Saturday, at the earlier time of 6:40pm...
Graham Norton!
Hear, hear!
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
0n tonight’s show, in addition to some luminescent stars
of stage and screen...
Hear, hear!
We will also be welcoming our longest-serving female
Member of Parliament.
Hear, hear!
Order!
I put it to the House - let’s start the show!
CHEERING.
Axel-macro!
Hello, and welcome.
Yes, there’s a definite whiff of politics in the air tonight.
And why not?
It’s been another rollercoaster week.
The big news - Prime Minister Theresa May went to Washington.
The first world leader to meet with President Trump.
Here she is holding Trump’s hand.
Still, at least if she’s got hold of his hand,
it’s not grabbing anything else.
It was a very tender moment when they held hands,
and I think we’ve got a picture of Theresa May afterwards.
Get it off me!
President Trump has been signing a flurry of executive orders.
Now, Idon’t want to get too political with Trump’s immigration
policy, but if there are any Mexican Muslims watching,
Iwouldn’t promise the kids DisneyWorld this year.
Meanwhile, nearly 2 million people have now signed an online petition
to cancel Trump’s planned state visit to Britain.
Apparently, you can register your disapprovaljust by clicking
a button on your iPad.
Let’s get some guests on.
Later, we’ll have music from the mighty Elbow.
But first, since the age of eight, this young British star has worked
with the likes of Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton, and now he’s taking
on his first adult role in The Space Between Us.
Please welcome Asa Butterfield.
She’s been at the heart of Labour politics for over 30 years,
and is the UK’s longest serving female MP.
Her new memoir is called A Woman’s Work.
Please welcome Harriet Harman.
She’s a four-time Oscar nominee who’s starred in classic films
such as American Beauty, The Grifters, The American President
and The Kids Are Alright.
Now she gives another stellar performance in the comedy drama
Twentieth Century Women.
It’s the great Annette Bening.
And this British actor has appeared in films like The Social Network,
The Amazing Spiderman and Martin Scorsese’s Silence.
He’s just been Oscar nominated for his performance in Hacksaw Ridge.
Now returning to the stage with Angels in America -
welcome back, Andrew Garfield!
Hello!
End for the wine! It’s welcome back to Andrew, first time for Asa.

Ryan Gosling was on the show a couple of weeks ago.
Yes.
Ryan Gosling is getting his award.
Annette, you’re here somewhere.
There you are.
Is that you?
Oh yeah.
I think you’re over there.
Over here, stealing the thunder is Andrew Garfield and Ryan Reynolds.
Are you going to do it at the Oscars?
IF}
It was a ridiculous thing.
It was ridiculous.
I said to Ryan Reynolds, if you win, kiss me instead of your wife.
And he said, yeah, that’s great and the plan was that he would kind
of move towards his wife and then kinda last-minute move towards me.
And then he didn’t win, much to our disappointment and I said,
we could stilljust do it!
And he was game.
I love the fact it was so deep in the background so you had to kind
of look to see if it was actually...
Ryan Gosling was unaware of it.
I know.
Were you aware of it, Annette?

just amongst us, that we would have dinner the next week,
and whoever won would pay.
So Whoopi Goldberg won, the next day l was working on a movie,
the next day in my trailer I got a beautiful big boquet of flowers
with a little note saying, meet at such and such

It is like, when you are much younger, in politics,
it is like, oh, you know, young, pretty, 3 bit distracting,
a bit flaky not to be taken seriously whereas a young man
would be regarded as very thrusting with lots of promise for the future
and he is in his prime wheres the woman is a bit ditzy.
And when she is having herfamily and she has loads of children,
she is like, she’s just a write-off, whereas he is regarded
as he has got his family, reassuringly virile.
And then, when they are older, the man is like experienced, wise,
like George Clooney, attractive, silver fox type of thing
and the woman when she gets older, well she is just past it
and it is like, when is our prime?

‘Southbridge Comprehensive. How can I help?‘ Hello. This is HerbertJones,
and | work for the Bone Marrow Registry
of England and Wales.
I am trying to get in contact with one of your former teachers,
a Miss...Melodie Thomas.
It seems that she may be a potential match for one of our patients.
‘Sorry, we can’t give out any personal information.‘
Oh. Well, that’s fine. I’m sure our patient will understand...
when they’re dead!

What do you think would be
a nice present for your mum
when she finishes radiotherapy?
Hello? Veronica just asked you a que... Would you mind not using that
at the breakfast table?
Actually, I would. I’ve found an amazing deal for my Euro trip.
And it’s going to be gone in a couple of minutes unless we act now.
What Euro trip?
The one for my 16th birthday.
I’ve found a package that takes me to Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Istanbul, Munich
and Stockholm, home of the world’s largest lkea.
And it’s only £2,500.
Can I use your credit card? I already know the number. Definitely not.
What 16-year-old goes alone on a trip round Europe?
Malala won a Nobel prize when she was 16.
It was the Peace Prize. They give that to anyone.
If you don’t want me to go alone, I can always just ask Murray Thomas.
His crippling sleep apnoea has nearly cleared up now.
You get straight As in your GCSEs, then we’ll talk.
That’s not fair.
I’m bored of formal education. I’m trying to enrich myself.
If you feel that strongly about it, you’re old enough to get a job and pay for the trip yourself.
Ajob? You want ME to get a job?
Me? A rebel thinker?
Hands of a Victorian lady?
Do I look like I’m built for hard labour?
