Last week there were so many celebs on The Graham Norton Show that they had to bring in an extra couch, but that will not be the case for a very exciting show the host has planned for the new year that will feature just two guests, but what a pair of guests they'll be.

Graham will be chatting with both Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, two Hollywood acting heavyweights with probably a football pitch of accolades between them.

The Oscar-winning pair are teaming up for upcoming Steven Spielberg flick The Post, which is already picking up a lot of awards season buzz, with six Golden Globes nominations including best actress and actor, as well as best director.

The Post tells the true story of Katharine Graham (Streep); the first female publisher of The Washington Post. With help from editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), she races to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spans three decades and four US presidents.

The Graham Norton Show featuring Hanks and Streep will air at 10.35 pm on Friday, January 19th on BBC One, while The Post is in cinemas on January 19th also.
