Red Nose Day

[Harveypot]

Did you watch Red Nose Day(Comic Relief)? Or did you donate?

If you don't know, Comic Relief is an organisation put together by Richard Curtis (the writer of Blackadder) that raises money every two years to help people in the UK and Africa. Red Nose Day is the day on which the comedy (and documentries from Africa) are shown. Red Noses are the main product for Comic Relief. This year, the night went on from 7pm to almost 4am and raised over £70m for charity. The night included sketches and clips from Doctor Who, the stars of the Inbetweeners, James Cordon, Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais.

I watched most of it and bought some red noses and donated £5.

Also, is Red Nose Day shown in other countries?

I watched it till around 11pm then watched the last episode of Skins I'd recorded the night before.

I text a few times to Chris Moyles record Radio 1 show though seeing as it kept me entertained for 3 days. Which reminds me, I still need to find the clips of Fearne Cotton in a swimsuit.

I only say the James Cordon sketch, but it was awesome. I'll have to try to find the other clips from iPlayer perhaps.

Is it weird to say I'm looking forward to the Gordon Brown vs JLS single?

It's different in Australia. It's a fund raiser for SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

The next Finnish Red Nose Day (Nenäpäivä) won't be until 4th of November this year. I thought they would be at about the same time.

We sent 1.9 million for children in developing countries last year.
