Re: Comic Relief/Red Nose Day
By and large, telephons (if that's what they're called) are pretty bad TV.Humour is in the eye of the beholder, but IMHO Lenny Henry, Griff Reece Jones and indeed Phil Jupitas have evolved fully into being smug and seem to have forgotten that the one thing that a comedian needs to be is to be funny.
So, no. Didn't watch it. In any case, everywhere I go I see adverts of how the money I spend on the national lottery is being used for good causes.

Re: Comic Relief/Red Nose Day
I am not qualified to comment on anything said here about the British experience of "telethons " or whatever you call them there. However in my experience I also find them tedious and a bit suss. I donate to the Rural Fire Service and The State Emergency Service. Both of these services are all volunteers. Also the wildlife rescue service. Apart from them I like to volunteer at the local shelter.

Re: Comic Relief/Red Nose Day
Never watched it and never will , all those egos who love their own voices and camera time . Some may donate their fees or part of it but they all charge and are paid to do their 'charity' workLike many here I make my donations privately and quietly
