:00:45. > :00:51.of it. I am the bossy one, you're the comedy one. What are you, then?
:00:51. > :01:01.The beautiful one! You are the hopeless one. No, I am the hopeless
:01:01. > :01:02.
:01:02. > :01:07.one. The weird one! You are I do have to say, I think it is
:01:07. > :01:12.going to be the funniest yet, I have lied and said that before...
:01:12. > :01:17.But you mean it this year! Also in the studio is Paul Barry, a teacher
:01:17. > :01:21.from Hampshire who, along with his pupils, has been raising money for
:01:21. > :01:25.Comic Relief every year for 25 years. That is about 30,000 fund-
:01:26. > :01:31.raising ideas over the years, so what you are stuck for something to
:01:32. > :01:36.do, the house or the experience and a giant red nose full of challenges.
:01:36. > :01:41.If you send us your photograph, he will assign you a challenge for you
:01:41. > :01:46.to stick to, come hell or high water. Someone else with a
:01:46. > :01:50.challenge tonight is Lucy Siegle, who is live in Ghana for us
:01:50. > :02:00.tonight! She is finding out how some of the money raised has been
:02:00. > :02:01.
:02:01. > :02:04.spent in Africa, and we also gave her a bit of a yes, indeed -- a bit
:02:04. > :02:10.of a challenge, didn't we question I guess, a Richard Curtis Challenge,
:02:10. > :02:17.I have been running around trying to make that happen! Yes, I am here
:02:17. > :02:23.in Ghana in Accra, the capital, and this is Osu night market, it is
:02:23. > :02:28.really busy, very exciting. I have had two big surprises here, first
:02:28. > :02:33.of all there is not just one One Show, there is one here, and I
:02:33. > :02:36.tried to get my way on to Ghanaian television. This man made it happen,
:02:36. > :02:40.we will keep him mysterious for now and come back to you later, but
:02:40. > :02:44.suffice to say he has an equivalence on our One Show. The
:02:44. > :02:50.second surprise, this market is ruled by a Queen Mother, and here
:02:50. > :02:54.she comes to give us permission. Thank you very much, we will follow
:02:54. > :03:00.you in! We are going to follow the Queen Mother into the market. I am
:03:00. > :03:10.going to look for my Hugh Grant N there, CEO later!
:03:10. > :03:14.A Ghanaian One Show! Comic Relief started in 1985, and the very first
:03:14. > :03:20.Red Nose Day came three years later. 25 years to the day, Happy birthday
:03:20. > :03:26.from us and from this man. Many congratulations, Richard, on 25
:03:26. > :03:36.years of Comic Relief. This is proper rubbish, how are we going to
:03:36. > :03:49.
:03:49. > :03:54.sort this out? What, Africa? I mean It certainly has been a relief, I
:03:54. > :04:04.hope you can keep it up, well done. The day are so many things I have
:04:04. > :04:07.
:04:07. > :04:11.done for Comic Relief, they always Just close Jim Mason Amir -- just
:04:11. > :04:18.closed in a cinema near you... There is no-one doesn't want to
:04:18. > :04:22.dress up as above. Kylie turned up, a life-changing moment for us both,
:04:22. > :04:32.she was absolutely minute but perfect!
:04:32. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:38.To why detect a slight accent What is occurring, pussycat? We had
:04:38. > :04:43.known each other since we were at school together in Wales, to be
:04:43. > :04:53.sitting in a limousine in the desert outside Las Vegas with Tom
:04:53. > :04:55.
:04:55. > :04:59.Jones was like a dream come true, So we would be there singing
:04:59. > :05:03.islands in the stream, and then I would look next, and Tom would be
:05:03. > :05:08.going... He wanted to lip synch, because he had a show that night
:05:08. > :05:18.and he did not want to mess his boys up, you save. Who would like
:05:18. > :05:26.some more tea? Yes, Carter. You do realise it comes all away from
:05:26. > :05:30.Ealing. Very well. I will be back in about two and a half hours.
:05:30. > :05:35.just thought it would be the most fun thing to do, especially with
:05:35. > :05:41.Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. It was just a thrill to be in that
:05:41. > :05:46.room and be part of that British tradition of making fun of and also
:05:46. > :05:50.the red nose. Like most Kenyans, Daniel lives below the poverty line,
:05:50. > :05:53.surviving on $1 per day. appeared when you first started
:05:53. > :05:58.watching it that Ricky had gone to Africa, but we quickly pulled out
:05:58. > :06:04.to reveal he was in a studio in Shepherds Bush. Just a very surreal
:06:04. > :06:10.day all round. I am faking a report from Africa. You cannot do that!
:06:10. > :06:14.What is the point in going there? The money comes rolling in, you do
:06:14. > :06:18.not have to inconvenience yourself, not showering for days, or law that
:06:18. > :06:23.would not be a problem for you. was like people were getting
:06:23. > :06:26.cynical, celebrities are only doing it to boost their profile, so the
:06:26. > :06:35.idea that these people had been doing genuine charitable work would
:06:35. > :06:44.actually come on. I have got a little surprise for you. Is that
:06:44. > :06:51.Smithy? Who this? It is Lenny Henry. Do I know you? One of the funniest
:06:51. > :06:57.sketches we have done, everyone from Gordon Brown, Ringo Starr,
:06:57. > :07:01.George Michael. You are a joke, George, it is embarrassing! I
:07:01. > :07:09.cannot walk into Comic Relief with you, it is about helping people
:07:09. > :07:13.like you! �600 million, 25 years to this day, and I say happy
:07:13. > :07:19.anniversary, Comic Relief. I was in the biggest rock and roll band in
:07:19. > :07:29.the history of music. That is a bit disrespectful in front of JLS.
:07:29. > :07:30.
:07:30. > :07:35.that is decided. You're doing the appeal film in Africa. Wow! Richard,
:07:35. > :07:40.after seeing all of those, some of the finest comedy of the last 25
:07:40. > :07:43.years, is it possible for you to pick out a favourite moment? It is
:07:43. > :07:48.astonishing how people have allowed themselves to be dragged through
:07:48. > :07:51.the mud like that, terrible, yeah. One of my favourites was a nice
:07:51. > :07:58.moment when Dawn French asked me if she could kiss Hugh Grant.
:07:58. > :08:01.course. We said if we could get �1 million, I think he asked for �1
:08:01. > :08:05.million, that was particularly exciting early on. We had a feeling
:08:05. > :08:12.you might say that, so we have got that, let's have a little look at
:08:12. > :08:22.them having a pack. Now it is kissing Time, Dawn French to kiss
:08:22. > :08:32.you Grand live in the studio. Hugh Grant. People have donated �1
:08:32. > :08:33.
:08:33. > :08:37.I love that she has got a Liz Hurley inspired dress on to do it,
:08:37. > :08:42.that was very good. He has never been able to find happiness since
:08:42. > :08:48.then! On a serious note, what has inspired you to keep going for 25
:08:48. > :08:51.years? Well... It is an extraordinary privilege to be in a
:08:51. > :08:55.position where you can raise the money that we have raised, and it
:08:55. > :08:59.takes four or five months every time, and if someone said to you,
:08:59. > :09:03.you could save one child's life by working for four months, you would
:09:03. > :09:08.definitely do it. What is extraordinary is that everybody who
:09:08. > :09:13.gives a fiver does that, and the idea that these comedians do that,
:09:13. > :09:16.you can actually change and save people's lives, it is extraordinary.
:09:16. > :09:20.Many said this amazing thing, forget geography, these are your
:09:20. > :09:24.neighbours. It is just this one chance to ask people on one night
:09:24. > :09:28.to give a little bit of money to do something to raise some cash, and
:09:28. > :09:32.we make the promise that we will give it to somebody with an
:09:33. > :09:37.exceptionally tough life, living in fear, living in danger. And that
:09:37. > :09:40.really is enough for me. And I guess, right at the very beginning,
:09:40. > :09:47.you knew what was not going to be a short-term thing, you wanted it to
:09:47. > :09:51.go on and on. I hoped the first one would fail! I remember we thought,
:09:51. > :09:57.if we raise �5 million, that would have been nice, but we raised 15,
:09:57. > :10:01.so we had to do it again, then 27, and so... You had to get more
:10:01. > :10:05.phones are the first night. first time we ever said get a fund-
:10:05. > :10:09.raising pack, we had three telephones waiting, and I think
:10:09. > :10:13.27,000 people rang. I was up at 4 o'clock in the morning with very
:10:13. > :10:19.angry fathers, say my child said I had to get through with you to get
:10:20. > :10:23.the fund-raising pack. It was exceptionally chaotic! Well,
:10:23. > :10:30.celebrities are not the only ones happy to play the full four Comic
:10:30. > :10:36.Relief. You at home are more than happy to do it as well.
:10:36. > :10:38.In 2003 I broke the world's oldest existing maritime record for Comic
:10:38. > :10:41.Relief when I took a paper boat down the entire course of the River
:10:42. > :10:47.Thames. There were people all the way along the river, waving and
:10:47. > :10:50.saying, well done, keep going. We love weird and wonderful fund-
:10:50. > :10:55.raising events, that is great. There was a constant worry that the
:10:55. > :11:00.paper vote would not make it, but I ended up on the news, by �500 was
:11:00. > :11:06.blown out of the water, it was getting on towards �10,000,
:11:06. > :11:10.fantastic for someone who just wanted to raise 500 quid. Back in
:11:10. > :11:15.1993, I used to look after Lenny Henry, I was his bank manager.
:11:15. > :11:19.Unbeknown to me, the staff and customers clubbed together to have
:11:19. > :11:25.a bath but on his pavement full of tomatoes, which I was sponsored to
:11:25. > :11:30.sit in. My family was all in on it, everybody was apart from me, a pair
:11:30. > :11:33.of swimming trunks in my briefcase that I had not seen. To sit in a
:11:33. > :11:38.bath full of tomatoes for half an hour on a March morning, I felt
:11:38. > :11:44.like an idiot, but we raised nearly �10,000. In return, or my customers
:11:44. > :11:50.got a photograph of their bank manager covered in tomatoes. On the
:11:50. > :11:56.very first Red Nose Day, I flew 8,000 miles wearing a red nose to
:11:56. > :11:59.India, so has I walked through Heathrow, people would look at me,
:11:59. > :12:09.and they would just go into their pockets and bring out a red nose
:12:09. > :12:14.and put it on. I raised about �500, and it felt tremendous. I am Jan.
:12:14. > :12:19.And I am Barbara. We are sitting on the steps of Coventry Cathedral
:12:19. > :12:26.reminiscing about two years ago when we had knitting in aid of
:12:26. > :12:30.Comic Relief. I think we got nearly 700 people wearing red noses.
:12:30. > :12:34.we managed to raise well over �6,000 for Comic Relief. And they
:12:34. > :12:38.really good time was had by everyone on the evening. And this
:12:38. > :12:48.was just from a small idea, I was teaching my girls to knit, and we
:12:48. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :13:00.thought, what could we do for Comic I really cannot remember how I
:13:00. > :13:04.raised this expands back in 1988. - - �6. I am a bus driver for
:13:04. > :13:08.National Express, and I decided to actually do something for Comic
:13:08. > :13:13.Relief, which was the Full Monty, and I ask some of the lads at the
:13:13. > :13:16.garage to do it with me. When we were getting changed, we were
:13:17. > :13:21.watching how many people kept going into the room, it got more and more
:13:21. > :13:26.full until there were that many in there that you could not move. I
:13:26. > :13:36.looked at Kevin, Darren looked at me, are we going to really do this?
:13:36. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:53.We felt like pop-star us. We were not like Chippendales, more like
:13:53. > :14:03.chipmunks, but it worked. Speed for yourself. If all the money went to
:14:03. > :14:05.
:14:05. > :14:10.projects in Africa, in the UK, and to the guests that joining us now.
:14:10. > :14:15.Tell us about Jeremiah's Journey. It helps bereaved children, and the
:14:16. > :14:21.group me and my sister go to our four children who are going to be
:14:21. > :14:26.bereaved. So if you have got a parent who is terminally ill, which
:14:26. > :14:33.is a place we can go to talk to other children in our situation.
:14:33. > :14:38.How was it helping? After it is a great place to go to help you de-
:14:38. > :14:47.stress, to help you feel like there is other people like you so you
:14:47. > :14:53.don't feel alone or different. It is a place people can comprehend.
:14:53. > :15:00.You make different arts and crafts, and you have brought something in
:15:00. > :15:08.to show us. They this is my elephants that I have made, and it
:15:08. > :15:12.has got its ears, its trunk here. That is so beautiful. EastEnders
:15:12. > :15:18.are teaming up with Comic Relief again this year, targeting the
:15:18. > :15:22.issue of gangs. You have turned you Fire Station into something
:15:23. > :15:32.extraordinary thanks to some money you have had from Comic Relief,
:15:33. > :15:33.
:15:33. > :15:39.haven't you Nigel? Yes, it was an old shed that we used to store fire
:15:39. > :15:45.engines in, and returned it into a boxing club to help local kids.
:15:45. > :15:50.has that helped in Manchester? lot of the kids are drawn to gang
:15:50. > :16:00.culture, and we say they should during our gang which has rules to
:16:00. > :16:00.
:16:00. > :16:08.do with training and getting up, discipline, respect and courage. If
:16:08. > :16:18.they can subscribe, their art in our gang. Million, YouGov to North
:16:18. > :16:20.
:16:20. > :16:24.London Cares. Richard will be interested in your full club.
:16:24. > :16:31.we enjoy it and we have a nice little group now. The volunteers
:16:31. > :16:37.are very nice, and we see a lot of films. It is the old films are like
:16:37. > :16:44.the best. Had you seen any of Richard's? Some of my films are
:16:44. > :16:54.quite old. What was the last film? A did see one - Notting Hill, but
:16:54. > :16:56.
:16:56. > :17:03.it was so boring. It was so boring I fell asleep. Then it livened up,
:17:03. > :17:12.you know what I mean? If have you got a favourite film? Me my
:17:12. > :17:18.favourite is Casablanca. Excellent. I couldn't stay awake in that one,
:17:18. > :17:22.I have to admit. If thank you to everyone for coming in. The work in
:17:22. > :17:28.the UK is so important and a lot of people lead tough lives. We deal
:17:28. > :17:33.with domestic violence, sex trafficking, so many harsh things
:17:33. > :17:37.so you have fun but I am so admiring the people who do the job
:17:37. > :17:44.and I am delighted for the people who benefit. It must be difficult
:17:44. > :17:48.to decide where the money is going as well. There are a lot of
:17:48. > :17:53.brilliant things, and we look around and find the best project
:17:53. > :18:01.and support them. The we are about to go back to Lucy in Ghana, but
:18:01. > :18:10.first here is what is happening to her, this happened when she
:18:10. > :18:18.mentioned The One Show. I am Lucy from The One Show.
:18:18. > :18:25.One Show? I am from The One Show. No, you are not. I have never seen
:18:25. > :18:30.it before. If this is Dave, the props man. None of these guys are
:18:30. > :18:35.from The One Show. I am from The One Show. This is mysterious,
:18:35. > :18:42.nobody believes I am from The One Show. The reason people are
:18:42. > :18:47.confused is because there is another One Show. I am here at the
:18:47. > :18:51.television station and I am going to find out what is going on. After
:18:51. > :18:58.a brief tour, I find the one man who may be able to shine some light
:18:58. > :19:05.on the matter. Her, I am Lucy from The One Show in
:19:06. > :19:13.the UK. Apparently you have your own One Show in Ghana. If yes, I am
:19:13. > :19:23.the co-host here in Ghana. Lovely to meet you. You are the equivalent
:19:23. > :19:31.
:19:31. > :19:37.to Matt Baker in London. Yes, what -- what's up, Matt! Of who copied
:19:37. > :19:42.who? We copied each other. What sort of content do you have in
:19:42. > :19:49.Ghana? Anything from drug abuse to anything that relates to the
:19:49. > :19:59.everyday lifestyles, so fashion, music, entertainment. Do you have
:19:59. > :20:01.
:20:01. > :20:04.films about dancing dogs? No... Snow? For hello, in Ghana! The One
:20:04. > :20:12.Show is filmed in these very studios, but today I have been
:20:12. > :20:16.invited to be a guest on a daytime chat show. I am just going to
:20:16. > :20:22.demonstrate this red nose, and we saved do something for me for money.
:20:22. > :20:30.That is a celebration of what fund- raising can do. Before I left I
:20:30. > :20:37.thought the least I could do was to leave them a gift to remember us by.
:20:37. > :20:42.This is from the team in London. That was a lot of fun, what a great
:20:42. > :20:45.show. I think we have found a spiritual home in Ghana.
:20:45. > :20:51.Then we wouldn't have to do snow and flooding.
:20:51. > :21:01.Be it has actually just finished snowing outside of the studio. Lucy
:21:01. > :21:03.

:21:15. > :21:22.everything here you need to make me a delicious meal? Yes we can do
:21:22. > :21:28.some fish with chilli sauce. Fiery, I like that. Everybody keeps saying
:21:28. > :21:34.Africa is on moves, a real comic relief thing to say - is that true
:21:34. > :21:40.from your perspective? Yes, they can't be any better time for Africa
:21:40. > :21:45.than 23rd team. We are doing well with our economy, with sports and
:21:45. > :21:53.entertainment. That is the time for Africa to stand for itself. You are
:21:53. > :21:57.enjoying yourself. I am loving you. Too kind. The next thing is to
:21:58. > :22:03.coach the actors for part of the Richard Curtis theme challenge. I
:22:03. > :22:07.will send you to do that now. See you later. Comic Relief Works on
:22:08. > :22:13.the ground here to support charities and local people to do
:22:13. > :22:20.really well. One of those charities specifically works with people who
:22:20. > :22:27.live in urban slums. Evelyn, you look beautiful by the way. You grow
:22:27. > :22:37.up in one of the biggest urban slums here, how did you get out?
:22:37. > :22:40.
:22:40. > :22:44.Thanks to SISS. That is the charity funded by Comic Relief. I got
:22:44. > :22:53.training from then and after that I was given capital to set up a
:22:53. > :22:58.business. So you have a cafe? the cafe and office. I have been to
:22:58. > :23:02.your cafe and you make a mean omelette and I know you do a lot of
:23:02. > :23:09.baking as well. You are very ambitious for your shop, your
:23:09. > :23:17.restaurant. A very much, so ambitious. You want to expand?
:23:17. > :23:24.Really lovely to meet you. Now to a star of sport - Allen, good evening.
:23:24. > :23:28.I want you to sum up your achievements. You have a lot of
:23:28. > :23:38.medals, take us through some of them. It has been a great honour to
:23:38. > :23:39.
:23:39. > :23:45.represent Ghana. I competed in the Paralympic Games in London. How was
:23:45. > :23:53.it? If it was so fantastic, the people of England are so amazing. I
:23:53. > :23:59.thank them that I have been able to rise to this. The really did, you
:23:59. > :24:04.did everybody here proud. Lovely to meet you. These are just two of the
:24:04. > :24:09.people being helped to do amazing things by Comic Relief funding.

:24:15. > :24:19.with finding two great actors and I have not disappointed you. This is
