It’s going back many years now (24 in fact, making me feel very old), but I think this clip from Comic Relief 1999 shows what many have been describing as missing these days:
youtu.be
There’s an enthusiastic audience, a great set, an ‘if we raise £___ in this hour, we’ll ____’ challenge, fun and a little messing around, some improvisation and amazingly a surprise for one of the hosts throwing them off and being all the more fun for it.
I know it’s many years ago, and budgets for these were most probably a lot higher, but overall it feels much more entertaining. However, I will commend Paddy McGuinness for the B*Witched and Irish dancing scene on this year’s event as that was different, unexpected and entertaining.
