Elizabeth Day, The Observer, 10th January 2016Radio Times review
Samuel L Jackson is no stranger to Graham's red sofa having been a guest on the show several times. And it's no wonder they ask him back. The most badass actor in Hollywood is terrific value, littering his conversation with expletives, self-deprecating remarks, funny stories and sharp one-liners. Stephen Merchant will doubtless be equally amusing about doing "some proper acting" in the West End, and also on display is American comedian Amy Schumer, whose Bridesmaids-style film Trainwreck is out this summer.
