Comic Relief 2021

Great announcement into Comic Relief.

Duncan Newmarch has failed his sponsored silence for Comic Relief. Well done Duncan...

That's it - I want a refund on my donation.

Good to see the Fleabag/Normal People crossover from the Irish Red Nose Day gets an airing here.

Well the Red Nose Day 2021 TV show is underway on BBC One. They've already shown an outline of what's on between now and 22:00.

Oh dear, the audience reactions are poor. I thought Saturday Night Takeaway had problems with their virtual audience, Comic Relief is worse.

Well that was OK I suppose, kids asking the Top Gear presenters various questions. Nonetheless, a pop song would have been better.

Now the hosts are saying that the 2021 Red Nose is plastic free and thus compostable. Mind you, if someone bought a red nose for this year, wouldn't they want to keep it as a souvenir of this year's RND, rather than put it on the compost heap?

That virtual audience is terrible.

I think a virtual audience was not needed. They never used one for the Big Night In last year did they?

The virtual audience applause sounds like a group of people clapping in an aircraft hanger

I assume they have repurposed the same video wall from Takeaway?

No, Takeaway is done at Television Centre

They've just shown the trailer "2020 - The Movie". Mind you, I hardly think that's going to be made into an actual film. Let's face it, no-one would want to make feature film on how the pandemic has affected people's lives.
