Did anyone watch? Wondering what others thought of tonight's show. It was all a bit... odd. There wasn't much conversation. Just the 3 guests all ... I don't know... loving each other!

Thought Patrick Stewart came across lovely. He really is handsome- never noticed that before!

I don't know... it just seemed a bit like it never really started or something. They were all too busy telling how much they loved and admired each other!

I loved it! I don't mind a bit of a luvvoe love-on when it's people of such high-calibre. It's well known that McKellen and Stewart have a wonderful friendship and Hugh Jackman obviously knows them v well from the franchise. James Blunt is hilarious on Twitter, he really takes the piss out of himself and has great responses to insulting tweets, really good.

I agree that Matt Damon/Bonneville/Murray was probably the best ever show though!!

So jealous of you, Oneof, being in the audience. I was at the Zoolander 2 cast "episode" of the show. Was good fun and highlight was Elton John singing (he had to do it twice!). Sounds like you had a great time!

Thanks Pyong :)

(As an aside, I do love your name - I presume a homage to Ptang Yang Kipperbang, a school film made some time in the 1980s that involved kids from the school I was at...)

Yes it is and with my obsession with DPRK, it seemed to fit!

bagel I'm very jealous of your zoo lander episode! Tbh they were all slightly lovey but it did seem totally genuine and some of the anecdotes with Patrick and sir Ian were very funny but for whatever reason were cut from the show making it slightly disjointed in the final edit. James Blunt was very very funny but his song and pretend keyboard playing were slightly cringe for me ( he also did 2 takes) I think because he was quite sweaty in the first 😀

Oneof, funny thing was I'd agreed (reluctantly) to go with a friend to taping of Loose Women (which I've never watched but she liked), we didn't get in so she was offered tickets for 4 to another show and she chose GN. I was SO pleased! Would have loved your show though - and agree with cringy keyboard playing!

Yes I thought so too. Put me in mind of the gossip threads.

Ooh inside scoop from Oneofmychins!
That is interesting that it was edited so much - probably gave it the disjointed feel. And very funny that so much of what Sir Ian was looking libellous! I can only imagine!!!

I really enjoyed it. I love it when guests get into it and seem like they are enjoying it too. I agree that there should be more women. Love Graham though.

I really cringed and had to flick channels now and then as i refuse to sit behind the couch, fingers in ears going "la,la,la..." now i'm an adult. It was such a live in and HJ is such an over eager, besotted puppy.

Ian Mc had just been at my old school and was still wearing the school tie. Shame he couldn't pronounce the town... 😳

Ah yes if it was heavily edited then it would have added to the disjointed feel.
