Like it or not, it looks like Graham Norton's beard is here to say.

This week saw an all-female couch, including Noomi Rapace, Carey Mulligan and Jessie Ware, on with Graham. Overall? Bit of a letdown.

However, this exchange between Amanda Holden, one of the judges on Britain's Got Talent, and Graham was a particular highlight.

A little context, first - the ventriloquist dog they're talking about was featured on BGT last week and became a viral hit.

It's understood that the dog wears a sort of shield over his mouth that's activated by the ventriloquist, who then opens and closes it in time with his speech.

It is not, we repeat, NOT a talking dog. Because that would be just silly.

Here's Holden and Norton arguing over said dog.
