0:00:05 > 0:00:08Hello and welcome to the News At When. When?

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Well, the last decade, for a change

0:00:10 > 0:00:13because here at HHTV, we have a special report

0:00:13 > 0:00:17on how the BBC's Sport Relief came to our screens

0:00:17 > 0:00:21and revolutionised the way we all look at sports stars

0:00:21 > 0:00:24and certainly the way that I look at David Beckham.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26I think it's the tattoos.

0:00:26 > 0:00:30Anyway, who better to give you more information on this TV landmark

0:00:30 > 0:00:34than Bob Hale with the Sport Relief report? Bob.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Thank you, Sam. Well, Sport Relief, Sport Relief, Sport Relief,

0:00:37 > 0:00:39the annual fundraising event so exciting,

0:00:39 > 0:00:42it has to take every other year off to recover.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43"But where did it all begin?"

0:00:43 > 0:00:46is a rhetorical question that I never have to answer.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Yes, it's 2002, ten long years ago, when the funny folk from Comic Relief

0:00:50 > 0:00:52and the toned team from BBC Sport put their heads together,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55resisted having a little kiss and decided instead

0:00:55 > 0:00:59to invent a history-making night of sport, entertainment and fundraising

0:00:59 > 0:01:01right here on BBC The First.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Sorry, BBC One. I'm more used to King.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05And what a show it was!

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Sports stars from every game proved they're good sports and fair game.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Even the prime minister lent his support, though sadly,

0:01:11 > 0:01:13it was by playing tennis, not golf,

0:01:13 > 0:01:16so I can't do my "who wants to play a round with Tony Blair?" joke.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Then, after a brief interruption from 2003, along comes 2004,

0:01:20 > 0:01:23when a second Sport Relief hit our screens,

0:01:23 > 0:01:25apologised and paid for the damage.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29This time, the show was even bigger, raising a whopping £16.9 million,

0:01:29 > 0:01:31which, to give you some idea of scale,

0:01:31 > 0:01:36is like £1 million multiplied by 16.9 and that's maths I just can't do.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37And it didn't stop there.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Well, technically, it did, but only for a year because in 2006,

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Sport Relief Three arrived.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Peter Kay, Catherine Tate, Chris Evans, Paul Whitehouse

0:01:45 > 0:01:48are just some of the names written on this autocue.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51And that wasn't the half of it. David Walliams swam the Channel

0:01:51 > 0:01:53and McFly hit number one by covering Queen,

0:01:53 > 0:01:55though no-one will tell me what with.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Then, with barely enough time to do a massively long two-year blink,

0:01:58 > 0:02:02it's 2008 and Sport Relief's back and thirsty for more.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05There's dancing shoes, tennis shoes and rule issues

0:02:05 > 0:02:06as Alan Carr joined a ladies' team.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09But putting that football stud on the pitch

0:02:09 > 0:02:13certainly helped Sport Relief to haul in a massive 28.5 million quid.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17So, beat that! "OK, then, we will", says 2010

0:02:17 > 0:02:20and sets about throwing a Sport Relief party all of its own.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22And what a party it is!

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- With great music, good food and even a fine- wine- - David Beckham's voice.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Little joke, there. Nice one, Bobsie.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30There's even a beautiful pop starlet who,

0:02:30 > 0:02:32in a twist from which I may never fully recover,

0:02:32 > 0:02:35turns out to be Rufus Hound.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37And, if we look to the cash-o-meter,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39we can see that this party really pulled in the punters,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42raising more than £44.25 million.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45A feat that can't be beat, right? Wrong!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Because it's 2012, people, which means Sport Relief is back.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Ten years young and fitter than a butcher's dog with gym membership,

0:02:51 > 0:02:53it's the hottest ticket since the Olympics

0:02:53 > 0:02:55and there's no slightly confusing draw to get one.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's just you lot, us lot

0:02:57 > 0:02:59and more fun than you could shake a pole vaulter's stick at

0:02:59 > 0:03:02and they are massive. So, get up, get involved and get donating

0:03:02 > 0:03:04to the TV event that's so exciting,

0:03:04 > 0:03:07it made Thames-swimming titan David Walliams physically sick.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10And... What? Well, then, what did make him sick?

0:03:10 > 0:03:13They're still putting him out in the Thames?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Oh! Enjoy the show, everyone.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Back to you, Sam. Has anyone got a bin?

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- I have the, erm...- (SCREAMS)

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Too late.- I'm so sorry.
