I have not watched a Comic Relief show in years now, but I used to watch the show every other year when it came on. As a kid, what I liked about it was seeing the normal TV with its bum out. It felt a little rude, a little crass, but it raised money, and the show was very entertaining. I don't watch it now, because it just isn't any of that now. It still raises money, but my interest in the show is pretty low now.

If I were working at the BBC, or for Comic Relief, I would be pushing for a complete revamp of Comic Relief. Give it a bit of grit and edginess that has been lacking, and I would do that by getting new comedians, for starters. Have Lenny Henry still, but definitely pass the baton to some younger people. I'd also avoid making Comic relief versions of non comedic shows. Make Comic Relief be about the comedy again.

Make the first hour about CBeebies and CBBC comedy shows, then from 8pm, go for the prime time stuff, with music and sitcoms, and then 9-10 can be the edgier stuff. I would revamp the red noses too. Get some nostalgic impulse buys for retro noses. Have, say, the 1991 nose, the 2003 nose, and one of the more recent foam noses with the faces. That will raise a lot more charity money. And for subsequent years, make one unique nose again per year.
