Sport Relief was a good evening's worth of entertainment, interspersed with some very sad
and quite upsetting footage, of what some children have to go through in India and Peru.
One report that had me all welled up, was the one about the young Indian railway boy who
had no family or friends left to turn to. Looking glum, sat in a train carriage, on his way to
a special place were he could be looked after with other former railway kids. To see the
smile on his face, and all the other children running towards him to greet him was very
moving. Anyone who failed to be moved by this, has no feeling whatsoever.
Another very upsetting report featured a family in India, consisting of a mother, and three
young children who literally had no real home at all. They lived with all their meagre,
threadbare possesions in the middle of an extremely busy main road.
In this day and age, in the 21st Century, human beings just shouldn't have to live like that.
Meanwhile, why the hell did the BBC pick Cilla sodding Black to host the Superstars
special? I cannot think of any presenter more unsuitable to host that type of event!
Also, I agree that Sport Relief would be better off on a weekday evening. If it was shown
on a Friday evening, it might have raised a lot more money. IIRC, Comic Relief 2003
had raised the outstanding total of over £35 million by the end of the show.
Eitherway, £11 million was still a great amount of money to raise for a great cause.
