Comic Relief

I was waiting for my 8 year old to ask me what 'shag' meant during the Rowan Atkinson skit... so far am not impressed..

I watched for 10 minutes and all I saw were celebs wanting to be seen for the kudos it gave them. BUT if money is raised for real good am I being fair? Still wont watch the programme though, it is dire.

I never watch Comic relief night - always such trash. Life's just too short.

Just watched a few minutes of Comic Relief and saw a baby with Malaria which could have been prevented with a net for the price of £5. The baby was in a terrible state and could die, I can barely type I am so upset, It makes me want to do something solid that WILL help and I ask myself why is this still going on in our time!

I really dont understand because comic relief has been about for a few years now, but have things improved and if not why not and if yes PLEASE show us what has improved as it will encourage people to give more if they can actually see the difference their money is making.

Yes Mishap life can be very short.

Are you OK jingl?

Seriously concerned question, not meant to be funny....

I'm fine ta. Why? Wassup?

Where have you been?

That's OK then

I'm with Mishap. I avoid Red Nosey type stuff. I find it all somehow slightly patronising and, yes, I too wonder why after so many years, generations even, of giving both through fund raising and government aid from many western countries, things don't seem to have got any better.

I am happy to make a donation - just don't want to watch the programmes.

I used to donate to Comic Relief, but there's so many deserving charities now I just stick to a few - although if Guide Dogs for the Blind cold call trying to get me to give more I'm cancelling my direct debit!

It's turned into self indulgent c**p for hasbeens who are no longer funny. I thought it got off to a good start but it's all downhill now.

Can't stand it!

Could Ricky Gervaise be any more obnoxious....? He's just not funny these days.

Nfk no-one worse for the NSPCC for that.

I've not been watching it. I've been reading all the comments made and am glad I've not bothered.

5 calls in 2 days from Guide Dogs for the Blind. No more though after I threatened to cancel.

I have been watching as the family were all waiting for it too start along with the little ones who were allowed to stay up for an extra 30 mins, they were dispatched off very quickly to bed as it was not suitable for family viewing (that makes me sound like my Mum ) the family have now gone to bed and I have turned over I have never been so bored in all my life!

Time it died a natural death along with cookery programmes and celebrity reality shows.

I second that, Nfk!

No! It raises money! Surely you can spare one evening of telly watching. You don't need to enjoy it.
