Martin will be on the Graham Norton Show next Friday.

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

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.

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.

**Posted by Vhanja** April 30, 2016 2:28 pm

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

**Posted by 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.

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

**Posted by Vhanja** November 28, 2016 5:56 pm

Oh, I agree.

**Posted by 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...
