Fair play to the BBC - great idea. Will Pudsey where a red nose?

.... with all the hosts on a webcam from home.

Sounds delightful! (Not)

Sounds much more appealing than the US effort and considering they mention social distancing possible there may be some studio element.

Here's the trailer, Children In Need meets Comic Relief:

Lenny Henry has said he'll be alone in the One Show studio for it.

With Davina and Matt.

Pudsey is wearing a red nose!

Davina saying "You are live on BBC One, please do not swear!" brings back memories.

From Comic Relief’s Celebrity Big Brother?

Just goes against the whole message, especially after the backlash on Sunday. The rule is work from home if you can, not work from work if you can.


It's all about perception - and in the case of TV, perspective. Even if they are 2m apart putting Davina and Matt each side of a TV makes them look about 3-4 feet apart.
