Michael Parkinson's guests tonight include award-winning actor John Hurt who stars in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone later this year but can first be seen in the big screen version of Louis de Bernieres's Captain Corelli's Mandolin, due to open next month. He plays Dr Iannis, alongside Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale and his screen daughter Penelope Cruz. The Corrs take a break from supporting U2 in America to promote their album In Blue and Alistair McGowan will doubtless make a Big Impression.
