SUPERSTARS ON THE SOFA THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW
BBC1, 10.45pm THE Jacksons are on Graham’s show tonight – no, not those ones.
Hollywood superstar Samuel L Jackson and his wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson are on hand to talk about the hard-hitting BBC2 documentary series they’ve been working on.
Enslaved: The Lost History of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which you can watch on BBC iPlayer, tells the story of 400 years of human trafficking and millions of Africans ripped from their homes and sold.
“It is a worthwhile story to tell,” says the Pulp Fiction actor.
Also joining Graham is former football manager Arsene Wenger, talking about his auto-biography My Life In Red And White.
In it the Frenchman tells his story from boyhood to retirement, and shares his leadership principles and vivid tales of guiding Arsenal to success – and failures.
He’s not the only sports personality with a book out. Freddie Flintoff, cricketer turned Top Gear daredevil presenter, is on hand to discuss his new book Right, Said Fred.
The book mocks the absurdities of modern life, asking big questions such as: “Does anybody else watch Donald Trump as a guilty pleasure?” and “When social distancing is over, can people still keep their distance?”
Continuing the bookish theme, actress and comedian Dawn French promotes her new novel Because Of You, which delivers a big-hearted tale of motherhood.
It follows two very different women who give birth to two very similar daughters in the same hospital.
There’s also music from recent Mercury Prize winner Michael Kiwanuka, who performs his current single Light.
