Comic Relief’s 10 best moments

What are your favourite funny bits from Red Nose day? We start you off with our most memorable 10 Tonight Comic Relief will take over BBC1 for another night of sketches, boybands, special one-off episodes, hastily written scripts, “Davina McCall holding the hand of an African boy while crouching down and saying a phone number ” and over-sized cheques. Last time around the charitython raised £82m for initiatives and projects to help vulnerable people in the UK and around the world – enough to gladden even the hearts of those currently being bullied into “doing something funny for money” in the office when they’d rather be “avoiding eye contact with their colleagues for money”. So over 23 years Red Nose day has brought us plenty of memorable moments and helped a great many people. Here are our favourite 10. Which have we missed?
