For more information check out the
BBC's Comic Relief Website.British schools, offices and homes across the land, everyone wears the latest Red Nose. This year there's 3 to choose from to whatever tickles your fancy to raise cash. You name it, they do it! From sponsored kissathons and flamboyant fancy dress to gungetastic trials or shaving your head in the name of fund raising.
Red Nose Day is a night of hilarious comedy and moving documentary films on BBC One. It's a night when the only place to be is right in front of the TV screen. Those of you in the UK can tune in on Friday 13th March from 7pm on BBC One. You will see the best in British entertainment and comedy, including the last ever French and Saunders film parody, a bespoke sketch from the team behind Gavin and Stacey, special Red Nose treats from the cast of Outnumbered, Ricky Gervais and Little Britain. David Tennant will be a guest presenter and there will be a special Top of the Pops show.
For those of you living outside the UK, especially British Expats, you can find websites that provide downloads after the show has aired such as
uknova.com and the
thebox.bz. Also check out the BBC's website for on demand video's.
This funny comedy night unites the whole nation in trying to make a difference to the lives of thousands of people living in abject poverty, or facing terrible injustice, both across Africa and in the UK.
