A Question of Sport Relief

Strictly Come Dancing Sport Relief.

To Be Honest i'm looking forward to Celebrity Boxing and should be better than Celebrity Wrestling on ITV. I'm also hoping for a good show but presentation it's gonna be a bust

It's in Salford this year, rather than the Olympic Park.

That might be due to the boat race that's going on.

The boat race that famously is on the River Lea.

Michael McIntyre will be doing his 'Midnight Gameshow' with Andy Murray, which will hopefully be quite good.

Liz Warner, CEO of Comic Relief, has today said the organisation had taken its 'first steps' towards change, in light of criticism last year of 'white saviour' celebrities in 'poverty porn' films. The criticism followed last years footage of Ed Sheeran offering to pay for one boys housing in a film.

Interesting move after criticism from Aid watchdog SAIH; it will be interesting to see how it plays out across this years output. I know that celebrities have filmed clips as ever, so it may be a difference in the nature or edit of such films?

They can't win though - in the past these rich celebs were criticised for not putting their hands in their pockets themselves when confronted with poverty.

The preview clip on the BBC website is a laugh that Sir Andy Murray had to be bleeped a lot
