Martin will be on the Graham Norton Show next Friday.

Also there will be Paul Rudd (yeah!), Seth Rogen and the singer Birdy.

Thanks for the heads up! I will have to check it out.

Getting close to Mr. Rudd, there! Though Seth Rogan's got Paul Rudd's other leg!

Well, I watched the show and I thought it was a lot of fun. My first complete exposure, outside of a movie I suppose, to Martin swearing. Haha. I'm not a Seth Rogan fan and I have no particular affinity or dislike for Paul Rudd, but I thought everyone told funny stories, including Martin. It was enjoyable and it passed quickly.

Yes, it was good! Martin sometimes seemed a little bit prickly, if that's the word, but I think that's just him (I find him refreshing!). Loved his Aiden Turner story! Which went well with Paul Rudd's Michael Douglas story! Maxine Peake was great too - I don't think I've seen her interviewed before. Witty and funny - looking forward to A Midsummer Night's Dream.

( I am still having internet problems!)
I only saw about half of it, but for good reason: we were watching TAB before!
So thankfully I both missed all the Love Actually stuff( a film I've never fancied), but did at least catch the little bit of Martin talking about Sherlock.
I don't know the other guys at all, but I thought they were both fab.
I mean guys cos I really like the actress, but never actually realised she was Maxine Peake!
Nice pic of them all.
No wonder Martin was a bit prickly. I like Graham, but I do find him a tad infantile.

Well, Martin's Hobbit story wasn't the most sophisticated - ha ha! There wasn't a lot about Love Actually, and Martin did a good explanation of his "sex" scenes, I thought. (I find Love Actually a bit of a mixed bag - it's a bit too schmaltzy for me, but some bits are really good. There's a particular scene with Emma Thompson which is outstanding, and another with Alan Rickman that I love. I like the Bill Nighy/Gregor Fisher couple. Martin's part is quite sweet!). I know Seth Rogan from a couple of comedy films. He seems to be a naturally funny guy.

I need to find somewhere to watch the whole episode. I've seen a few clips. I adore Martin's prickilyness. I think that's why we so often imagine John as a hedgehog.

Vhanja · April 30, 2016 1:38 pm

Oh, I need to find and watch this as well! I really enjoy Seth Rogen (he has the lovliest laughter in showbiz!) and Paul Rudd. So this should be fun!

Edit: Found this:

Oh Martin...........................how do I love you.

Vhanja · April 30, 2016 2:28 pm

This was hilarious. Poor Paul Rudd with his Michael Douglas story!

besleybean · April 30, 2016 2:37 pm

Or poor Michael, depending on your point of view! Ha.

Lol! That's what I was thinking. Pretty uncomfortable for both of them, though.

Vhanja · November 28, 2016 5:13 pm

Awesome! Yes, it looks like he's there for S4. Which will be kinda odd, because he can't say anything. As usual.

Vhanja · November 28, 2016 5:56 pm

Oh, I agree.

nakahara · November 29, 2016 8:08 pm

Superb that he will appear at least there if we can´t have him during events dedicated to Sherlock.
Maybe he´ll spill some beans about S4...
