Joining Graham this week: Hollywood star Sam Neill, in new Australian comedy drama Rams; actor Billie Piper, talking about her film Rare Beasts, which she wrote, directed and stars in; Cold Feet star James Nesbitt, in new Northern Ireland-set BBC series Bloodlands; comedian Andi Osho, promoting her debut novel Asking for a Friend; and music legend Tom Jones, who chats and performs his new single No Hole in My Head.

Tom Jones! The man can still sing, and he's 80!

ETA, now that I've watched the show:

I like that Jones sings songs that are appropriate for his age and station in life. The last time Cliff Richard was on he sang a song that was so embarrassing—it was something he would have sung in his early career.

Sam Neill is delightful. I love that he names his animals after his celebrity friends. RIP, bovine Jimmy Nesbitt. I'm glad bovine Graham Norton is still kicking around.

Andi Osho's hair was amazing. I've never heard of her and really enjoyed her. I don't think her book has a US publisher yet, but it sounds fun.

Bernie, the woman who told the Big Red Chair story, looked fantastic with her chemo hair. Her story went on too long, I thought. I didn't understand the end of it—what was the deal with the baby?

Nothing was wrong with the baby.  While checking on said baby Belfast lady and hubby conspired to get rid of the guests who wouldn't leave.  They came up with a plan, rejoined their guests, only to find the guests itching to leave.  While cleaning up Belfast lady heard the baby on the monitor and realized guests overheard them conspiring to oust the guests.

Ah, thanks, @sugarbaker design. I didn't understand any of that.

I wasn't that crazy about the song itself, but Tom Jones sang the hell out of it! Glad to see he's still doing well and has so much energy.
