What a load of comic crap:P
Really bad presenters, really really bad scetches( I chuckled once )
I loved comic relief in the 80's/90's sooooo much fun, great presenters who were totally MAD!! and I loved the bit when they all used to get in a hugh bed after midnight a great laugh. This years I don't really know who anyone was? Allan Carr talking about cocks all night and just stood there looking like a goofy twat and not really doing anything at all and the other fatty who I can't stand, Carol Vorderman with the fattest ass you've ever seen and Davina McCall who has nothing to do with comedy at all and just sticks her big nose in everything. This country has totally forgotten how to write comedy and it's a real shame. Don't get me wrong I know they made masses of money and I pledged £100 but hey get these idiots off my t.v. screen I'm paying for this crap!! Wink

It was pretty poor. Davina McCall and David Tennant - er, which one of them is vaguely funny? Alan Carr and Graham Norton; I agree. Both can be fairly amusing, but when they just harp on about you know what, it gets a little tiresome. Thankfully I missed most of it (Preferring the England v France U-20s rugby). Sadly I turned on in time for the unfunny Katy Brand. Oh dear.

What's the fuss about Horne and Corden too? Gavin and Stacey can be funny in parts, but I don't think anyone's told James Corden that his character is the unfunniest in the programme, and in his guise in this comedy duo of H&C he just tries to be the same character, and isn't funny. Ruth Jones is obviously the writing talent behind the good characters (the Welsh ones) in Gavin and Stacey. What's worse is the BBC are throwing money at them.

I'm glad you agree Wink

The last good show was Father Ted which was brilliantly written, they made what was only half an hour seem to go on forever cramming so many gags in to a short space of time it was go go go and all the characters were amazing even if some were only in it once.

Cheers.

Less money spent on good presenters = more money gone to a good cause.

Very funny programme, sadly fate dealt the cruellest blow possible.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I didn't watch any of it. I consider the modern idea of comedy an insult to my intelligence. These so-called comedians think that being crude is all they need to make people laugh. Unfortunately the younger audiences seem to agree with them.
