The best TV this weekend: There’s no getting away from Graham Norton as he hosts three shows

Tonight

BBC1 NI, 11.10pm; other regions, 10.40pm

There’s an abundance of Graham Norton this weekend with no less than three appearances for three different broadcasters.

By far the best is his own show, which features two of the hottest actors around right now, who also happen to be Irish — Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott, co-stars of the critically acclaimed film All Of Us Strangers.

What are the chances of them also turning up on The Late Late Show (RTÉ1, 9.35pm)? Such things have been known to happen.

Also joining Graham are Kingsley Ben-Adir, star of a new Bob Marley biopic, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, a Golden Globe winner for Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers.

LOL: LAST ONE LAUGHING IRELAND

And here’s Graham again, presiding over 10 Irish comedians who try to make one another laugh while trying not to be caught laughing themselves.

He’s actually the best thing about this mirth-free misfire.

REACHER

It’s finale time. Last week’s episode ended with Reacher (Alan Ritchson) entering the lion’s den, which has set things up nicely for a violent showdown with the chief bad guys played by Robert Patrick and Ferdinand Kingsley (son of Ben).

CRISTÓBAL BALENCIAGA

Disney+

Six-part biopic starring Alberto San Juan as the late Spanish fashion designer, who Christian Dior called “the master of us all”.

The framing device is an interview with a journalist who collars the reclusive Balenciaga after the funeral of Coco Chanel in 1971, a year before his own death.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE

UTV/ITV1, 6pm; also on Virgin Media 1, Sunday, 8pm

1984 AT THE BBC

BBC2, 8.35pm
