The Graham Norton Show returns to our screens tonight, with Daniel Craig and other actors from the latest James Bond film No Time to Die making an appearance.
Returning for its 29th series since it first began airing in 2007 it will contain all the usual aspects of celebrity gossip and intrigue, but now back with a live audience due to coronavirus restrictions now having lifted.
The last episode aired in April earlier this year, with Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Felicity Jones, Miles Teller, Wunmi Mosaku and John Bishop making an appearance.
Here’s all you need to know about the show airing tonight.

Who will be appearing on The Graham Norton Show tonight?
Ahead of the release of the long-awaited James Bond film No Time to Die, actors from the film will be coming onto the show to talk about it.
This will obviously include Bond himself in Daniel Craig, as well as Lea Seydoux, who plays Madeleine Swann, Lashana Lynch who plays Nomi, and Oscar-winner Rami Malek who plays the villain Lyutsifer Safin.
It will be Craig’s final outing as the British spy, and he talked about that feeling of letting go of the role.
He said: “At the end of Spectre I was very down on everything and I thought that was it, but I am really, really happy that I was given the opportunity to come back and do this. It wraps up a lot of the stories, and the chance to do just one more was wonderful."

“It's everything. It's been close to 16 years of my life, and it's been incredible to do these films.
“Bond films don't get made very often so to have this opportunity has been the biggest thing in my professional career obviously, but also one of the biggest things my life, so it is very emotional.
“I am glad I am ending it on my terms - I am grateful to the producers for allowing me to do that - but I will miss it,” he added.
Who will be providing the musical performance on The Graham Norton Show?
Every episode of the programme usually closes off with a guest musical performance, and it seems Ed Sheeran will be providing that.
Tickets for his 2022 tour will be released from tomorrow.
