On 5 February, red noses blew all over the country and over £15 million was raised for charity projects in Britain and Africa. Tonight Lenny 'Nice Suit' Henry and Griff 'Stupid Hat' Rhys Jones re-run some of the comic highlights.
Marvel at the mighty confrontation between SPitting Image and A Question of Sport; thrill to the exploits of Blackadder, be heartily shocked as Alan B'stard, MP, the New Statesman, meets Mrs Thatcher. Then laugh loudly at the live Little and Large (no more Ts please - Ed), Hale and Pace, Jasper Carrott and many more, while taking a break from chortling at the subtle sketchwork of Penelope Keith, Valerie Singleton, Victoria Wood, Keith Floyd, Paul Daniels and all the rest who weren't actually up in the Tower making merry with Stavros, Lenny and Griff top and tail this compilation with news of where the money raised has been spent and reveal plans for a Comic Relief New Year.
1988 has been one of those years - so here's one of those programmes. It's a beady, bird's-eye view of the last
12 tremendous months, with the interesting bits picked out by Clive James.
Join Clive for an hour of momentous memories in a programme that's going to make nostalgia a thing of the past.
