Next Episode of Comic Relief is
unknown.
Comic Relief is an operating British charity, founded in 1985 by the comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry in response to famine in Ethiopia. The highlight of Comic Relief's appeal is Red Nose Day, a biennial telethon held in March, alternating with sister project Sport Relief.
Comic Relief is back with six stagger blasting shows, each presented by a different, very well dressed presenter.
7.00 Chris Evans: Don't Forget Your Nose Chris
Evans kicks off the mayhem and madness. The hour includes Phil Collins 's Old MacDonald , with celebrity animals featuring Goldie Hawn, Emma Thompson , Liam Neeson , Hugh Grant and Archbishop Desmond Tutu as a lively sheep. Also Richard Wilson in Africa: TV's Victor Meldrew reports from a Ugandan refugee camp.
At 7.25 Oliver 2: Let's Twist Again
The first of tonight's hilarious three-part adventure, that offers the chance to find out just what happened to Oliver Twist when he grew up. Featuring Jeremy Irons , Diana Rigg , Pauline Collins , Alan Cumming , Timothy Spall , Angus Deayton , Ron Moody , Oliver Reed , Michael Palin , Stephen Fry , Kathy Burke and Richard Briers. Then it's time for Wet Wet Wet live in the studio performing the Elvis Presley classic In the Ghetto, and Chris Evans rounding off the hour with a very unusual competition.
Harry Enfield and all his most favourite characters, including Tim Nice-But-Dim, take over the reins.
