Good evening, everybody.
I'm
Pleasure
Pleasure to welcome you to The Graham
Graham Norton Show! CHEERING
Hello, good evening.
You're all so welcome to the show.
All
You join us at the end of another crazy week.
Things are so bad with the pandemic, one old man has said he's not
going to leave his house for four years.
Here in England, new restrictions mean our usual studio
audience can't be here, but they're watching us from home.
Hello to you all!
Hello! APPLAUSE.
There
There they are. We want you to make lots
Lots of noise. Not to have family arguments
Arguments or a loud sex. It will distract
So who do we have on the show tonight?
Well, joining me here in the studio, it's Olympic champion boxer
turned Strictly star, Nicola Adams!
They're playing Charles and Diana in the hotly anticipated fourth
season of The Crown - it's Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin!
You
APPLAUSE.
And get out those glitterballs - it's always a thrill
to welcome Kylie Minogue!
Plus, later, top comic Jason Manford will be popping in.
And we'll be joined live from Australia by Hollywood
superstar Nicole Kidman!
Yes!
Of
I
Of you, you look amazing. I love what
What you are wearing. It is vintage, I'm
I'm sure it has stories of its own. Wow!
What
Wow! What disco nights has it had? If
If there is a wardrobe malfunction there
There was nobody here to see it! Nicola
Nicola Adams, Bill Bailey was here last
Iast week and he was exhausted! Presumably,
Presumably, you are fit as a flea, are
Are you tired or cool with all of it?
I
It? I am tired but I am not... I am doing
Doing the jive this week. And it is the
The constant kicking. I legs, I have to
To physically pick up my legs! The struggle
And
Struggle is real. And welcome to Josh
Sort
Josh and Emma, hello! Sort of on a chat
Almost
Chat show! Almost made it! Just one week
Week out! Dammit! This is exciting because
Because you have already done a season
And
Season as Charles. And you are brilliant.
Thanks
Brilliant. Thanks very much. Emma is about
About to hit the screens as Diana. Didn't
Didn't you have a night out to prepare
Prepare you with the great Helena Bonham
Bonham Carter?
She
She does look
Look weirdly like Helena Bonham Carter!
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE.
At
At least you met a nice person! Kylie,
Kylie, do you go out to be recognised?
Recognised? Might you see Kylie pushing
Pushing the trolley... Stop laughing at
Of
At the very idea! Of course, yes! If I
I need to get milk. I'm sure! I do! On
On the computer! Listen... Kylie Minogue,
Minogue, global pandemic cannot stop you.
You. You are back with your 15th studio
Studio album, this is out today. Out this
This very day. APPLAUSE.
By
By the album! It
By the album! It was made for this set!
You
Set! And your outfit. You are performing
I
Performing later for us. I will perform
Perform Magic. I say your 15th studio
Studio album but how much of this did
I
did you record in a studio? I probably
Probably got the best part of six weeks
Weeks or so in and out of studios. Until
Until the big doors shut and then I was
Was home and then I thought, nothing is
Is changing in a hurry so I had to figure
Figure out how to keep working. I remembered
Remembered that I had a very basic microphone
Microphone and interface summer. Luckily
Luckily it was somewhere in my house in
In a cupboard, I find it and I started
Started finishing writing and recording.
Recording. With a garage band. I thought,
Thought, 12-year-olds can do this! Hello,
Yes!
Hello, MySpace! Yes! And we thought, me
Me and my team wanted to keep going so
Did
so we got the professional gear. Did you
You have to record under a duvet and a
I
A cupboard under the stairs? I was not
Not quite that bad but I did have to wrangle
Wrangle some clothes racks down and put
Put blankets and duvets and any kind of
Of sound absorber I could. But I said
Said I had a home studio, it sounds a
A lot more glamorous than it actually
You
Actually was. You were doing lots of press
Press from home. Do you have to pretend...?
We
Pretend...? We are doing... We are both
Both trying to make our flats look even
Even more glamorous than they actually
Actually are. Somebody commented the other
Other day, we were doing a Zoom call with
With various press. On one call every
Every time I thought it was a different
Different journalist but I got that wrong.
Wrong. One caller I put my flowers just
Just behind me. I thought during the call
Call I should have been thinking about
About the interview but I thought, it
It is not quite... Shift that to the right...
Right... I shifted it in the journafist
Journalist picked up on that and it made
Made me look like a try hard. I shifted
Shifted it during the call.
The
interviewer
Interviewer was talking to Emma so own
Own cannot see me. I was moving it in
Other
In the background. Other good news...
News... This weekend, you are doing a
A special concert stream, this will be
Be available to stream from 8pm tomorrow,
Tomorrow, tickets and info available online.
Online. If you get the ticket, what do
Is
Do you see? ls it in the kitchen? I have
Have moved... There is no clothes rack
Rack hanging all over the place. It is
Is an upgrade but a very interesting experience
Experience in that it is not quite a concert
Concert or a video, not a TV special,
Special, it is all of these things. It
It is a 50 minute experience and you have
Have to be there at 8pm because that is
Is it, I going to a concert, you have
Have to be there at the right time. Lots
Lots of new songs from Disco, some classics.
Classics. Me, dancing, incredible lasers
Iasers and lighting. And the added bonus
Bonus is it was pretty emotional for me
Me and I hope the emotion comes through.
Through. To be seeing members of the crew
Crew I would normally be on tour with.
With. There is the spotlight operators
Operators and the roadie willing in the
The disco ball and all of that. It was
Was very touching. I am not match fit,
Fit, it was exhausting. Glancing to Nicola
Nicola I think I will never, ever be match
Nicola,
Match fit! Nicola, as a teenager did you
You go clubbing or dancing or was it all
I
All boxing? I went clubbing and stuff.
Stuff. I could not dance, though. I have
I
Have a solid 2-step. I can dance now.
Now. Yes you can! I have seen you. Let
Let us spare a thought for Emma Corrin.
Corrin. There are scenes in The Crown
Crown of Diana, alone in that big ballroom.
Ballroom. Doing her dancing. She danced
Danced to Elton John and things.
Trivia
Trivia at home! - by Chen
Cher. Was it mortifying having to 9°,
Go, here we go... I am dancing alone to
To Cher!
APPLAUSE.
And
And the director said, that was... Wow!
Wow! But we have to do it again because
Because you kept mouthing the lyrics!
Lyrics!
JOshI
Josh, you were the boy, I went
Went to drama school, you get this list
List of things you need. Equipment. And
And nobody got it, he got all of it. All
All of the dance stuff. I did. You get
Get a list of grammar school. Yes, things
things like
It
Things like a man thong. It was called
Called a dance belt in my day.
APPLAUSE.
Nicola...
Nicola... Strictly, every year it is lovely
Lovely but this year there was something
Something about the return of Strictly,
Strictly, you could feel the mood of the
The nation lifting. Such a lovely show
Show to have back, must be lovely to be
It
Be a part of it? It is really good to
To be a part of this. But the funny thing
Thing is, they asked me every year and
And every year I have said no. Because
Because I have had training commitments
Commitments or tournaments and this year
Year I was, do you know what, we have
Have lockdown, I am going to go for it.
It. I had two conditions. I wanted to
To dance with another woman. And I was
So
Was not going to address. So you had to
To dance with another woman. Somebody
Somebody has to wear that dress! Yes!
Yes! You look like you're having a ball
Ball with catcha. Here is a little clip...
Just
Clip... Just as I was about to pick "P
Up the flanks, I picked up these flags
Flags a million times and I have gone
Gone to bed down, the flag is not there.
There. It was slightly over to the other
Other side and I was trying to grab the
The flags and she was counting, six, seven,
Seven, eight. Go, flags! I was literally
Literally just getting them in time. APPLAUSE.
Even
Even I may have shed a tier. Was it emotional
You
Emotional or... You looked... It really
Really was. I wanted to get all of mY
If
my emotion and passion in there. If there
There is anyone in the competition who
Who can match you in terms of competitiveness,
Competitiveness, it must be catcher. She
She is in it to win it. Definitely, she
She much as my energy and she is competitive.
Competitive. She just works hard, constantly.
Constantly. - Katya. If I want food or
Never
or a break, she is hard-core. Never do
Because you explained you wanted to be in a same-sex couple,
essentially because you didn't want to wear the dresses
and everything.
But equally, you must be aware of what it's like for a young girl
or young boy who feels different to see themselves on telly?
Yeah, definitely.
It's really good to have that kind of diversity on TV.
And I didn't think it would be such a big deal.
But I guess it is for some people.
But I think I guess you always have to push the boundaries and just show
people that it is just two women dancing.
It's not a big deal.
It's like most of these things, I think.
It's a big deal till it happens.
Yeah.
And then everyone is like, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
That happened.
Yeah.
The world didn't end, everything is fine.
Here is Nicola and Katya being lovely dancing.
The thing is, you've retired, you've retired from boxing.
Yet you're still so young.
Is there any little bit in your head where your thinking,
maybe I'll go back?
Because a lot of boxers are tempted back.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like...
But no!
I've had enough.
I've literally won everything.
Yeah.
APPLAUSE.
Fair enough!
My work here is done!

Of the executive producers, and it is
Is done by the maker
Is done by the maker of Big Little Lies...
Lies... Yes, and the gorgeous Hugh Grant.
Grant. Like my am I right in thinking
Thinking you never acted with Hugh Grant
No,
Grant before? No, I have always been a
A big fan. They said they thought he would
Would be perfect for this but I thought
Thought he would never do it, because
Because he was famous for not wanting
Wanting to work, so I thought we would
Would offer it to him and he would say,
Say, no, I don't want to work. He doesn't
Doesn't like working, that's what they
They said was not that he is so good at
What
At it when he does it. What do you tell
Tell people at this stage? If people haven't
Hold
Haven't seen it yet? Hold onto your seats.
Seats. Nothing is what it seems, and episode
Episode three is about to get crazy. You
You are about to see episode three. On
On Monday, yes. It is on my planner. We
We have a clip from next week's episode,
Episode, your father, played by the brilliant
Brilliant Donald Sutherland, about the
The situation you find yourself in. Also
Also called rescue Romance syndrome. It
It sounds like a load of crap. It doesn't
Doesn't mean anything. She fell in love
Love with a doctor who saved her kid because
Because might lie. How does that mean
Crazy
mean he didn't kill her? Crazy people
Are
People do crazy things. Are you sefious?

Excited
Excited Ooh
Excited Ooh and you sing the theme
Theme song? You I do, only because the
The director tell me I had to and I am
Am very obedient. Well, you sang in Moulin
Moulin Rouge, and of course, Kylie Minogue...
Not
Not my film! Baz's
Baz's film.
Wei rd ly,
Weirdly, Ewan McGregor was on location
Location at a few weeks ago, talking about
About Moulin Rouge, and he told us you
You guys learned big dance numbers that
Yeah,
That we never saw. Yeah, totally, I learned
Learned the tango, really hard sequence,
Sequence, then suddenly I was not tangling.
Tangling. They changed it, and suddenly
Suddenly I was upstairs with a jerk, but
But a lot of the film was workshop and
And we were always changing - I was upstairs
Upstairs with the duke. This is part of
Of Baz's process as it gets formed, a
A massive workshop for weeks prior to
To shooting. So we would dance and dance
Dance and dance, Ewan, training together.
Together. One of my great memories, dancing
Dancing with him. White might but we will
Will see you dancing, and singing, in
In the Prom, Netflix, the 11th of December.
On
December. I saw it on Broadway and it
It is such a great show, and this cast
Cast is a dream cast - yes, but we will
Will see you dancing, and singing. Yes,
Yes, it was one of these things, we both
Both got asked to do it together and it
It was suddenly to go 180 degrees where
Where you go from the intensity of Big
Big Little Lies to a musical that is hilarious
Hilarious and joyful and... But also a
A really strong story. It's a true story,
Story, about a girl who wants to bring
Bring her girlfriend to the prom, and
And she is not allowed to. They shut the
The prom down, so it is very funny and
And very light-hearted, and it is filled
Filled with a great message, but also
Also a lot ofjoy. I'm a supporting role
5t0P
Role in it, so... Stop it, you are one
One of the Leeds! Own it! It is in fact
Fact a Nicole Kidman film - you are one
One of the leads. Oh, you know it is.
It's
Is. It's a Meryl Streep film. Nicole Kidman,
Kidman, thank you for is getting up so
So early to see us and looking so gorgeous.
I
Gorgeous. I will be watching you on Saturday
Saturday night.
I
I love you.
You. I love seeing you from afar. And
And you too, Graham. Bye,
And you too, Graham. Bye, Nicole! Nicole
Nicole Kidman, everybody! Lovely! APPLAUSE
Right,
Right, Josh O'Connor, Emma Corrin, you
You are Charles and Diana in The Crown,
Crown, Netflix on the 15th of November.
November. It runs from the late 70s to
To the early 90s, covering Margaret Thatcher,
Thatcher, the Falklands War, but mostly
Mostly the sort of... I didn't realise
Realise what a strange romance it was
Was between Charles and Diana. I mean,
Mean, josh, you knew the story line was
Was coming, already in it. Are you surprised
Surprised at how odd the romance was?
Was?
Yes,
starting
Starting from a blank slate, I guess,
And
Guess, in some way. And a huge pressure
Pressure in you, in an odd way, and it's
It's OK because you've done it now! I
I wouldn't have said this before you start.
Start. LAUGHTER
But
But all the members of the Royal family,
Family, because Diana's is frozen in time
Time you must have felt some of that pressure,
Pressure, the way we remember her... Element
Element just because she is adored, you
You know, and there is this kind of sense
from
Sense from everyone, almost like an ownership
Ownership or I guess she had a related
Related ability, I suppose, the people's
People's princess, and people felt they
They knew her in a different way, so yeah
Yeah I went in with a huge feeling of
Of pressure. Hopefully it's fine! No,
No, it is fine! And, you know, as actors,
Actors, you are getting into kind of the
The emotional truth of the scenes and
But, equally, you've got to be like Charles and Diana.
So what are the shortcuts to get into, say, Charles?
BOTH:
Just poke him with a stick.
Spitting Image, off we go.
I wonder if he's ever not had his pocket square and then it's
completely floored him.
He doesn't know how to...
It sounds like Nadal's serve.
Yeah.
Slightly less.
And he does speak in a very kind of...
It must have been hard not to just do an impression because people
do do impressions of him.
Something really different.
Yes, yes.
What are the shortcuts for Diana?
Diana, for her voice, is mainly that everything
goes down at the end.
So her pattern of speech.
So it's sort of like...
My word to get into her was always "alright".
"Alright."
That's just what I'd say.
"Alright."
But then everything she says always goes down at the end, so...
It's almost like even if she had the best time ever, she would always
sound a little bit sad.
That is very good.
APPLAUSE
You're good at it, though.
Do it.
You do it with the tilt, though, the head tilt.
Very good.
Thank you.
Let's
Of
Of you in action as Charles and Diana
D0
Diana in The Crown. Do I fit in? You
I
Gosh.
Well...
Well... Well, I suppose you've got to
To learn to give it to each other on a
A regular basis. Encouragement, I mean.
Mean. Yes, that, too.
Too. I think you are gorgeous. The most
Most clever, handsome man in every room.
FOOITI.
APPLAUSE
I'm
I'm a huge fan system I cannot wait. And
Yes,
And you? If Katya allows you. Yes, if
Have
if I can get some time out. Have they
They done something to your ears in that?

Second belt, do you want to go for the
The next belt? You have to fight someone

Full
It is this a full cast? Full -ish. As
Only
As a pantomime card? Only the front half,
Half, it is socially distanced! You are
Like
Are going back on tour. Like me. This
This is a tour that is supposed to be
Be on but will start next September instead.
Instead. I called it Like Me because I
I read an article about this thing where
Where psychologists say that being liked
Liked in this sort of modern generation
Generation releases the same endorphins,
Endorphins, when you get liked on Facebook
Facebook it releases the same endorphins
Endorphins in your brain is alcohol or
Or six and drugs, people are getting addicted
Addicted to being liked. And I thought,
Thought, that is definitely true as far
Far as a comedian is concerned, always
Always looking out and you love that reception.
Reception. It is always hard because there
There is no audience to show it to you.
I remember filming my first DVD at the Manchester Apollo.
I'm dead excited to be there.
There's 3000 people.
I keep seeing these!
I look out.
And there's, whatever, 2000 people and my family
are in and it's all very exciting.
And always, you speak to any comic, as you know...
You will always find the one person, arms folded,
just giving it that, like...
Doesn't want to be there.
Checking his watch.
Upset he's missing the Champions League or whatever it is.
And he just wouldn't laugh, this guy, at all.
I couldn't get anything out of him.
And there's cameras all over the place.
And towards the end he giggles at something.
I can't remember what it was but I remember he just did a little...
Whatever it was, I can't remember what it was.
Butjust one laugh, I got.
So a few weeks later we were in the edit and we were
putting the DVD together.
And I'm telling the editor about this guy who ruined my night.
Because I was checking in on him.
I'd do a joke and...
Nothing.
And I'm telling the editor this story about this guy
and we are sort of flicking through the audience shots.
And it cuts to this guy.
I said, my God, this is the guy that ruined my big night.
Because I got obsessed with why he wasn't laughing.
And so we watched him for a little bit.
Just properly in a mood.
And as luck would have it, that one laugh that he gave me
was caught on camera.
It was a real begrudging...
He might just have been laughing at something that
happened a few weeks ago.
But in that moment I thought, oh, my god, we got it.
So it was the editor's idea, to be fair, but we ran with it.
That one laugh that he did on camera, we ended up using 23 times.
So we just keep cutting back to this guy.
And my dream, I hope, is that at some point in the last 12
years he's watching Dave ja Vu at two o'clock in the morning,
my show comes on, he watches it and he gets to the end and he thinks
to himself, "oh, I had a better night than I thought!"
APPLAUSE.
The tour is Like Me and tickets are available now and sleeping
Available now and sleeping beauty in December.
December. Jason Manford! Time for music,
Music, the Queen of disco is back, performing
Performing her new single, Magic, it's
It's Kylie Minogue! CHEERING
