[Gary Baldy]

Flo and Joan was probably the highlight for me, one of the few bits that felt like Red Nose Days of old. Probably the appearance of B*Witched did as well, weirdly, as it was the sort of totally unexpected, silly live thing you'd sometimes get.

Ghosts was good as ever. I think the problem with the Eurovision sketch was there was another sketch that also did the "lots of celebrity cameos" thing and the Traitors one was much funnier. Baldrick's story fell a bit flat - wonderful to see Tony Robinson in character but the content was mainly "Baldrick says turnip a lot". Stath's a great show, their bit wasn't the best though.

And... that's pretty much all I can remember of it, aside from a couple of bits that belonged on Children in Need. There wasn't a lot, really. As others have said it was missing that post-news "live and dangerous" feel but I think most of all it was missing comedians.

It’s all a bit too safe and saccharine now. Leave that feel to Children in Need, Comic Relief’s job is to be rebellious. It’s missed the mark for the last few years. 2017 was a pretty good Red Nose Day though- it felt eventful and it felt like the Red Nose Day of old. The biggest problem it currently has is the lack of comedy- this year’s was so poor that even Lenny abandoned it.  It all feels very uneventful nowadays- they might as well prerecord the whole thing and play it out as live (just like the Best Bits section was obviously done).
