Viral Red Nose Day Moments

Hannah_Alumni

With Friday 15th March being Red Nose Day, and the last one for Sir Lenny Henry after he decided to step down as host. It has made me feel nostalgic. 

There is a wider debate about the need for fundraising shows like Comic Relief, Children in Need and Sports Relief. But growing up, they were always one of the best TV nights of my childhood.

Spending them with the family around, where else would I see special sketches from my favourite shows? Or one of my favourite bands being asked a question by Catherine Tate's 'Lauren' character? 

There have been many 'viral' moments from Red Nose Day, and I thought it would be great for the community to share some of their favourite moments. 

Kicking it off, of course, I had to choose Lauren Cooper and David Tennant

Just to add a note: The comedy sketches will use language or jokes you may not agree with. Everyone's humour is different.

This is a very tough one, there's been so many epic moments!  I'll be very sad to see Sir Lenny Henry hang up his nose, he's always been the soul of Comic Relief for me.  

Showing my age here, but one of my favorite moment was The Young Ones special, with Rik Mayall singing "Would you like to see my pants?" loudly.  I think it was 1986? 

Or maybe Robert Webb dancing to What a Feeling in a leotard? 

Or this magnificent moment with Rowan Atkinson playing Dr Who.

There have been loads and some great ones you've listed!  

Rowan Atkinson has also done some brilliant sketches as Mr Bean for Comic Relief over the years.

I think we forget what has come from the sketches too. Like James Corden's Carpool Karaoke sketch actually started on Comic Relief.
