Was the SE feature live or pre-rec?


It was a pre-recorded montage that was also shown just before the weather on the 6:30pm programme.

Does anyone know what that sketch, that's just finished, was all about? To me it seemed to be a family in a house having a laugh.


That was Outnumbered. Its a partly adlibed sit-com about a family in a house having a laugh.

Well we've just had Victorian Dragon's Den. What a mickey taker that was. It may be "do something funny for money" but fun need not be yuck.

Just for your info, I've never watched the real Dragon's Den, so can't compare Victorian Dragon's Den to it.

Anything decent worth cooking in Jamie's RND 09 recipe book? Anyone bought it? I haven't ... yet.Ten years ago my grandmother asked me to get the Red Nose Day 1999 cookbook "Five Go Mad In The Kitchen" (remember that?), and she was disappointed with it.

The number is 03457 910 910, I'm sure an 0300 number was being advertised for something else Comic Relief related earlier in the week.


You are right, its 0345, there are so few of them around nowadays, I thought it had changed to 0845.

I'm sure The One Show used an 0300 number and I think it was for donations. Thats why I thought the phone number had changed.

From the website: "Calls to our 0345 number will cost the same as calls to 01 and 02 prefixed numbers and will be included as part of any inclusive minutes or discount package."

Is that true? There are so many phone companies around, could they possibly have done a deal with all of them to get a reduced rate or is it the other meaning of "same" that actually means "higher"? I doubt it is included in any free minutes unless you are on certain BT packages either.


They reintroduced the 03 prefix a few months back to distinguish it from the 08 numbers. 03 are supposed to be the equivalent of an 01/02 call, while 08s are charged slightly higher, but not high enough to be classed as premium (09...).

So far so good - Comic Relief can not look too great on paper but usually turns out better on screen. Mastermind and Dragons Den my highlights so far - and I agree how disappointing it is that Harry Hill just recycled TV Burp clips yet again. Surely he could rummage through some classic Comic Relief clips.

Had a feeling that would happen because of the way they were standing there.

Chicken Tikka? I think you mean Chiquitita if you mean the ABBA song.

End of part 1? Got another part to come yet? Well that Mamma Mia! has been about the only half watchable bit so far.

At least we had one song around half past eight: Annie Lennox "Lean On Me". Why can't we have more music? They have loads on CIN night in November. RND night would be so much better with more music acts in the studio and less of the other tommy rot.

The clue is in the name really. COMIC relief. It's all about raising money through comedy. If you want music, there's Top of the Pops at 10.
