The famous “red chair” was back to its original placement, the sofa was at full capacity (no more spaced-out chairs), and the studio audience energy had returned to pre-2020 levels. Series 32 represents Norton’s 25th year in broadcasting (since his Channel 4 days) and his 16th year on BBC One.

Season 32 is poised to continue the show’s beloved, tried-and-true structure. Unlike the solo-interview format popularized in the US, Norton’s round-table approach remains his secret weapon.

If there is a critique to be leveled ahead of Season 32, it is the question of freshness. With over 30 seasons in the can, can the show avoid becoming formulaic?
