Luckily for many of us, we’ll be ready for an evening of charitable and comedic TV watching after sloping from work to home in our onesies (or silk pjs for the more sleek and stylish of us). And this evening’s Comic Relief line up looks as jam packed and fun filled as ever. Expect to see a one-off return of The Vicar of Dibley, featuring Homeland star Damian Lewis, a debut appearance from Mrs Brown aka Brendan O’Carroll, Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy performing a special Anchorman sketch and Ricky Gervais returning as awkward and cringe-inducing boss David Brent in The Office.
From 7 pm, hosted by the fabulous and funny Claudia Winkleman, Dermot O’Leary, John Bishop, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Jack Whitehall, Alan Carr and Russell Brand. Phewf. Meanwhile, there will also be performances from One Direction, Miranda Hart, Simon Cowell, Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders, plus Jessie J shaving her head and a comedy version of The Great British Bake Off.
