I'm afraid I can't stand Comic Relief. I don't mind the one-off programs they do - but I can't stand the whole of a Friday night being taken up with this back-slapping, photo-opportune, unfunny, unmusical cheap telly that the BBC get away with. I wish all the 'big' celebrities would just do a Kevin Costner / Sandra Bullock - and write out a cheque for £1M - to be spread over the night's charities.

 

What would we do for entertainment on that night? How about some decent frigging dramas BBC?

It's usually better than Children In Need. Although that's not saying much :lol:

They're doing Happy Now on Comic Relief - as part of a sketch with Fake That.

Happy Now :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Although what's the betting at the last minute they change their minds and sing The Flood.... :rolleyes:

Happy Now is going to be part of the sketch with Fake That. I'm assuming that its already been filmed and will be slotted into the program - a bit like the Little Britain sketch that Rob did last year. Lets just hope that the Fake That Sketch is funnier.

Is Fake That an actual tribute band or is it a 'band' made up of celebrities just for Comic Relief? :unsure:

Have you been hiding under a log for the last month or so Jupiter? :lol: Its been all over the papers and (certainly the TT fans on the TT site and Rob fans on the Rob site have been nattering about nothing else!) Fake That is a 'comedy' tribute band especially for the night made up of David Walliams, Catherine Tate, Allan Carr, that Cordone fella and someone else. I think the sketch is going to see them auditioning in front of the real Take That and then they'll all perform the song together.

PS - if stories are true - Rob has just signed a new solo contract with the label that TT are with - Universal.

I'd have been as well hiding under a log. I've been ensconced in my spare room stripping wallpaper, rubbing down walls and painting doors for what seems like months. The World has truly passed me by :drama:

Snap(ish)! I've been doing a bit of decorating too. My husband just tends to slap the gloss on over whatever is there already - but being a Capricorn - stupidly I opted to paint a door and frame (still to do the window-frame, sill and shelves) the proper way. Bare wood - primer - undercoat ... and I'm glossing tomorrow! My son's room. He won't even thank me for it!

I've been sanding down and undercoating the skirting tonight.

 

Capricorns indeed :lol:

The thing is - my two days off a week - and most women my age would go shopping and do 'lunch' ... I end up doing chores!

Fake That: David Walliams, James Corden and other Red Nose Day comedians send up Take That

 

FIVE of Britain’s favourite comedians tonight leave viewers seeing double – as they mimic Take That.

 

David Walliams, Catherine Tate, Alan Carr, James Corden and John Bishop audition for a place in tribute band Fake That.

 

And the comics face the music as they must each impress the star they are sending up.

 

John, playing Robbie Williams, joked: “Someone thinks I’m Robbie and I understand why. Bit of a maverick, dancer, singer, mover. James Corden thinks he’s Gary Barlow. He’s more Ken Barlow, to be honest.” But Gary was much more complimentary as he said of James: “We look nothing alike but he’s doing a good job of pretending to be me.”

 

 

Catherine is made over into Jason Orange, Alan takes on Mark Owen while David is Howard Donald’s alter ego. But the most amazing makeover in tonight’s TV extravaganza comes from former PM Gordon Brown – who ditches his usually dour persona for a hilarious comedy sketch also featuring Sir Paul McCartney and James Corden.

 

It begins with the trio debating where to go on a road trip. When James – playing Gavin and Stacey’s Smithy – suggests Africa, Mr Brown jibes: “You’re too fat to go to Africa.” At one stage James grabs Mr Brown, 60, by the scruff of the neck to shout: “Pull yourself together, Gordon! You’re one of us. We’re a team.”

 

A show insider said: “It was a coup getting Gordon. Everyone was sworn to secrecy to ensure the news wasn’t leaked. He was a really good sport.”

 

Other highlights will include a Susan Boyle duet with Peter Kay and spoof period drama Upstairs Downton Abbey, starring Joanna Lumley, Kim Cattrall and Jennifer Saunders.

Really liked the happy now performance but robbies parts were very pet shop boys sound i thought, still its a catchy song especially the chorus,interesting to see if they pick up many downloads tonight, either way i think the album will benefit the most though.
