Anyone Watching Comic Relief Tonight?

[dave50]

I never watch, I don't like it, I find it nauseating.

[Bobbisox1]

No, we've never watched it besides our own country need charity right now

[-SharonA-]

No. I will be watching Corrie, then Vera.
Cannot believe all these people are giving away their money in current times.

[Bobbisox1]

I can't watch Vera either, her Geordie accent ....well, isn't and I find myself giggling, the Mister loves her though :0)

[Zacs-Master]

We'll be watching. its good light entertainment after a busy week. Apparently in times of trouble, we give even more money as the thinking is "things are bad but at least i don't have 'that' to deal with".

[burlyshirley]

No.

[ichkeria]

"our own country need charity right now "

Comic Relief is in aid of UK charities as well as overseas.

[Bobbisox1]

Ich, okay but money is tight for most now

[Milo2]

No. I’ve never watched and won’t tonight.

[pastafreak]

No, not me.
Bobbi...apparently they aim for 50% to go to UK charities. I bet with some pressure they would increase that. They should. Last year, combined with Children in Need, they raised 67 million.

[Bobbisox1]

That's good to know Pasta

[Mamyalynne]

I'll be watching some if not all of it, some of the UK Charities they help have struggled greatly for fundraising through the pandemic.

They have already raised a ice chunk this year with the 'Nose & Spoon Race'.

[Mamyalynne]

* nice

[vulcan42]

No, haven't watched it for years. I know it's for a good cause and I donate but the actual programme is more about those taking part, not saying but implying "look how funny we think we are".

[Vagus]

Yes, we’ll be watching it, makes a change from some of the stuff on tv. Red Nose tv is, I think, always funnier and better presented than, for instance, Children in Need.
I’ve never donated to Red Nose, and not in recent years to Children in Need.

[Bobbisox1]

Who's presenting it, is it still Lenny Henry?

[Mamyalynne]

Hosting the proceedings this year will be Alesha Dixon, David Tennant, Davina McCall, Paddy McGuiness and, of course, Sir Lenny Henry.

[vulcan42]

Comic Relief 2021 is set to be hosted by Alesha Dixon, David Tennant, Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness and Sir Lenny Henry.
All well known comedians, except for Lenny Henry.

[Billypeo86]

Especially when there are others worse off than yourself, it does get depressing especially in this current climate

[Everhelpful]

Thought Sir Lenny didn't want white peoples money? How much have they got in Reserve? sure it was £92million at the last count.

[Everhelpful]

And Paddy McGuiness,vulcan.
