Anyone here planning on watching the actual Comic Relief show? What are the highlights? I know of course that it's all about donating, but I'm also interested in knowing what specials they are running. I saw a trailer which featured a fake interview between Michael Jackson and Martin Bashir - looked relatively amusing! Anything else worth tuning in for?

I'll probably watch bits of it, in between watching other things on the other side.

It's always a dissapointment though - after weeks of hype, the programme is normally average at best.

PS - does anyone think it's a bit naughty of ITV to schedule Corronation Street against Comic Relief, given the huge story line in Corrie at the moment?

Ah, that reminds me. A topic about Corrie might be good, I made one here:

I didn't watch any of it either. I was out yes but even if I was in I wouldn't have watched it.

I went out, but I taped most of it so I can watch all the highlights and wind all the boring bits through.

How much did they raise on that night or don't they bother giving you a running total anymore?

Yes they do. I think it was about £32million on the night, but it's still climbing.

That's not too bad. How much does Children in Need make these days on the night?

I don't know, but Children in need's rubbish anyway. Comic Relief's far superior.
