Whether presenters, comedians or both, they used to bring the energy and the comedy with little skits on stage, for example French & Saunders: youtu.be 

These days it mostly feels like it’s links into the next VT. It used to feel like the charity was in charge of the broadcast, whereas now it feels like the same production team as Children in Need.

Part of the problem could be that they haven’t continued to bring in the comedians of today to host. There are many comedians who present on other programmes who could do similar sketches and stand up pieces bringing the fun back to the night.

Also, when did the night stop being known as Comic Relief and be referred to as Red Nose Day? Was it the rebrand a few years back?
