I love this video promoting the US version of Red Nose Day. So many celebrities, most of whom are favourites, and only a couple of whom I don’t actually recognise. It’s an amusing message, of course, but I have to admit the best bit is the bonus appearance of Ana Lucia - who appears to be on a film set and in a completely different context to everyone else. Weird.

Whilst not strictly BBC news, anything to do with Comic Relief tends to go hand in hand with the broadcaster. In this case, we have stars from radio and pop taking to the mountain to raise money. They have been talking up the challenge for long enough, and as of yesterday, the climbing had begun. What I am impressed with is the vast amount of coverage taking place. In previous years, it would have been all about waiting for the Comic Relief telethon itself to find out what happened, and watch video of proceedings.
