Is that just a feature of it being a shorter show these days and in the time available they want to use people who are seen as more relevant and more likely to attract donations?

If you go back to the early days it was a real who's who of British comedy, even the likes of Ernie Wise and the Two Ronnies contributed.

It's lost the edge it got from having a bunch of comedians (and Jim Davidson) presenting. Although I suppose these days there are so many stand ups who have presenting experience that it could all feel pretty safe anyway.
