Re: the 7.30pm start - looking at the listings, the BBC2 10pm section seems to be continuation of the main programme (as Comic Relief have done last few times) rather than a QI or Mastermind special as has been common in the past. So the overall airtime would be about the same.
Slightly different but I do remember some early Comic Reliefs had Wogan at 7pm as per usual, I even remember one edition with him walking out of the studio to the Comic Relief one.
And didn't last year's have the news billed at 2230 but in the end it was pulled back to the usual 2200 because of a big news story?
Well done to the kids from Outnumbered with their first class performance of "Hey hey we're the Monkees". All those different costumes, including pirates and a fairy.
They bounced on Spacehoppers and one even jumped on a pogo stick. Well done them. The only bit missing was time in a ball pit, but you can't have it all I suppose.
(Wonder why WM's taking it this year? They don't normally take the stuff that normally gets transmitted across all the English Regions! There's at least one Paul Rowley documentary they never transmitted to my knowledge. I had to find it 'elsewhere'!)
