Pick up your new range of party tricks from this chatshow compilation of the best bits of Norton's famous guests. There's Tom Cruise directing an action sequence with an unsuspecting member of the public, Margot Robbie tattooing and Chris Pratt showing off some magic.

Preview - The Graham Norton Show

With the 2017 movie scene kicking off to a good start with the likes of award winning productions such as La La Land and Lion, and new music from Ed Sheeran and Coldplay, The Graham Norton Show's most recent series has had a rather star-studded guest line-up.

Russell Brand p***ed off with Tom Cruise & Scientology

Russell Brand and Tom Cruise may have publicly bonded during their 2012 movie Rock of Ages, but the comedian has revealed he was left feeling somewhat snubbed by the A-lister. Brand was speaking about Cruise's famous devotion to Scientology on a recent audioBoom podcast when he admitted: "They didn't want me in their religion."

Radio Times review

Either actress Emily Blunt is a smart, funny person or she's unbelievably good at chat shows. If you've seen her previous appearance on Norton's show - memorably jousting with Russell Brand - you'll know she's terrific value, and the fact that she had a baby this year can only, hopefully, add to her stock of funny stories.

It says something for the show's pulling power that Blunt is probably the least starry name on the sofa. Her co-star in sci-fi thriller Edge of Tomorrow Tom Cruise returns to the show - oh yes - while Seth MacFarlane and Charlize Theron drop by to promote their comedy western A Million Ways to Die in the West. Making up the numbers on music duties are a band called Coldplay.

Simon Pegg returning for 'Mission: Impossible 5'

Simon Pegg will return for Mission: Impossible 5. The actor has confirmed that he will reprise his role of tech specialist Benji Dunn alongside Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt.

Graham Norton may have been made more family-friendly of late, but the dildo-brandisher of the past still capers somewhere at the back of his consciousness; his chat show remains peppered with arch humour, and sycophancy is earned by guests rather than doled out to all, as with Jonathan Ross. Tonight's instalment is a best-bits clip show, in case you missed his sparring with Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas, Amy Adams and Will Smith, plus UK talent such as Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.

James Corden talks action flick roles with Tom Cruise

James Corden could become the biggest action movie star ever to come out of High Wycombe. The Gavin & Stacey funnyman discussed potential film roles over dinner with Tom Cruise in LA this week.

Is it just our imagination or does Tom Cruise make more films than anyone in modern Hollywood? Oblivion is the latest Cruise blockbuster to hit the multiplexes and he's talking it up here alongside co-star Olga Kurylenko as Graham Norton checks in for a new series, mere moments after the last one finished. There's more movie talk from Gerard Butler, plugging Olympus Has Fallen, with music from pop-goths Paramore.

Tom Cruise spills the beans about the people he ignores when they tell him "No" and Billy Crystal reveals who he says "Yes" to.

The pair top the bill in this big-name New Year's Eve line-up - and are also joined Rosamund Pike, who stars alongside Cruise in action thriller Jack Reacher.

Adding to the Hollywood head-count is Hugh Jackman who talks about his latest singing role in the film version of Les Miserables and reveals why he's got Russell Crowe to thank for his career.

And our own Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry tell Graham whether they'll be tempted to appear in a US version of The Great British Bake Off.

Also appearing are John Bishop and Pink who tells why she snared her husband. We know what to get Graham for Christmas next year - a bigger sofa.

It's one of the big nights of the year and Graham Norton has a sensational line-up to celebrate. In fact, it has the potential to be such a wild and funny show maybe you should cancel your plans to go out to that warm-wine-and-nibbles party you weren't particularly looking forward to and just stay in instead.

So how about this lot to make your New Year's Eve go with a proper swing: Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman, Billy Crystal, John Bishop and The Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, with music from Pink. Incredible, isn't it? What will the sainted Mary make of it all? Will Cruise, in town to promote his new film Jack Reacher, be acquainted with soggy bottoms? Can Jackman, starring in the movie version of Les Misérables, make rough-puff pastry? We need to know.
