The Graham Norton Show, 30 October 2026

In Episode 6 of Series 34, Graham welcomed double Oscar-winner Michael Douglas to promote his tell-all memoir, One Helluva Ride. Hollywood great Glenn Close and Succession star Kieran Culkin joined him on the sofa to talk about their new film, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Graham welcomed British actress Naomi Ackie to discuss her latest movie, Clayface, and the Sugababes performed their current single, Ghost.

Graham Norton

On this week's show, Graham moved toward a more winter colour palette for the colder weather, donning a deep navy blue suit with a purple-based, geometrically printed shirt and a complementary flower-patterned tie. Check out his outfit in this clip with Glenn Close.

Michael Douglas

Michael Douglas is an Oscar-winning American actor most famous for his roles in films such as Wall Street, Fatal Attraction, and Basic Instinct. On the show, he chose a classic single-breasted, slim-fitting suit, paired with a sapphire blue shirt with an open collar. The suit's slim fit added a contemporary touch to the traditional tailored look, while the shirt added a pop of bold colour that elevated the outfit. The open collar kept the outfit relaxed yet still polished, striking a balance between formal and approachable.

In this clip, Michael explains why he finally wrote a memoir.

Kieran Culkin

American actor Kieran Culkin is best known as Roman Roy in the drama series Succession and Benji Kaplan in the comedy-drama film A Real Pain. He also chose a classic black single-breasted suit with wide notch lapels and strong shoulders, paired with a lightweight black crewneck jumper instead of a shirt. The ensemble showcased a modern, unconventional take on classic menswear. The suit was timeless and versatile, but the wide lapels added a vintage-inspired feel, and the structured shoulders gave a sharp, powerful silhouette. The jumper, rather than a shirt and tie, created a sleek, monochromatic, relaxed, contemporary vibe, keeping the ensemble sophisticated while feeling more laid-back.

During his interview, Kieran shared a funny story about his Succession co-stars.

Naomi Ackie

Naomi Ackie is a British actress recognised for playing Whitney Houston in I Wanna Dance with Somebody and for the movies Blink Twice and Mickey 17. On the programme, she wore a black three-piece pantsuit featuring bold gold buttons on the waistcoat and jacket. The jacket's lapels were slim and peaked, and the waistcoat featured a straight hem and a high V-neckline. She wore her hair in a slick low pony and accessorised simply with small gold hoops. The outfit was a sophisticated take on classic tailoring with modern, elegant touches. The gold buttons added luxury and visual interest; the peak lapels gave the look a sharp feel, and the waistcoat's cut created clean, elongated lines down the torso. Her earrings echoed the suit's gold details, and the ponytail kept the look polished.

In this clip, Naomi explains why people never get her birthday right.
