The Graham Norton Show is a multi camera chat show. The reason why this is a multi-camera chat show is that they have 4 or five cameras set up in different positions enabling different edits/shots. There is one camera on the presenter which is Graham Norton, then one camera which is on the guests and this will move to each guest when they are talking or it will focus on two guests. There will be another camera that gets a shot of everyone and lastly there will be one on a crane that captured the guests are they are coming up the steps and into the audience, this is also the same camera that will be used for getting shots of the audience. The reason why this and many other chat shows are filmed in a multi camera set up is because is kind of a rolling show, with it being a shot with multiple camera they don't have to stop and start to capture things from different angles as this would be time consuming.
With a show like this they usually cover soft news stories and they don't talk about hard hitting subjects. It is intended to be fun and lighthearted.
With this being one of the big shows for the BBC channel they will usually have big A List celebs as their main selling point for people to watch the show. So for example on the above clip they have Chris Pratt who was on the show to promote the new Jurassic World film. Melissa McCarthy and Jude Law who were on the show to promote their new film Spy, and then the local celebrity that was John Bishop who was featured on the show to promote his new TV show. And everyone that is a guest on this show is interviewed altogether, so the guests have a chance to interact with one another, not like on The Jonathan Ross Show where the guests all come out to be interviewed separately.
With this being filmed in a studio, there isn't as much space for the equipment as there is at an outdoor event, so people have to be careful of wires and tripod and other equipment.

This is a plan for the cameras for the Graham Norton Show or how I envisage it to be. There could be more cameras or the cameras might not even be on tracks, and I also think that there is a camera on a crane to capture Graham at the beginning of the show when he is opening the show and introducing it, but I have not drawn that onto my plan.
