When is Comic Relief on TV?
Everything you need to know about the BBC's big fundraising bash on Red Nose Day
From the Love Actually sequel to Ed Sheeran's travels to Liberia – the BBC has plenty in store for the charity bonanza...
What time is Comic Relief on TV?
The night of fundraising and entertainment will take place at the O2, and will be shown live on the BBC on 24th March 2017, with the theme of "A Comic Adventure".
What entertainment can we expect on the night?
Perhaps the MOST EXCITING event of the night will be the release of the 10-minute Love Actually sequel, Red Nose Day Actually. So far we know that Andrew Lincoln is back with the famous cue cards, Liam Neeson's still wearing turtle necks, Hugh Grant's PM got married, and Rowan Atkinson is back, too.
