I put it on because I thought it woukd be entertaining but actually, its pretty boring and flat. (Not talking about the causes sections)

I'm watching it for the first time in years. I rather wish I wasn't. Not very funny and slebs all seem very patronising. They could probably raise this much money from their back pockets.

And TK Maxx selling a load of disposable tat. It will all be in landfill tomorrow and that's not good.

Crawls out from under rock. Ummmm, what's Allsorts and Mermaids?

NameChangeNugget · 15/03/2019 20:35

I think the BBC is too scared to offend anyone anymore, which will nearly always happen with a joke hence, why it’s watered down shite.

I thought four weddings was on st 7, when is it on? Can't sit through whole thing!

Yes, that is a downside but I suppose this tat at least raises money for a good cause. Ours won't end up in landfill, our daughter will insist on keeping everything. We have red noses dating back years. 😬

It used to be a lot funnier. It was not comedian focussed now it's all presenters talking with 5 minutes of "comedy"

Ratatouille76 · 15/03/2019 20:40

Zoe Ball was saying the other day on radio how she bought a new suit to host. Felt in poor taste. I do hope they don't get paid to host.

russetbella1000 · 15/03/2019 20:41

Too many egos and self-promotion...🤮

00100001 · 15/03/2019 20:44

The 4 weddings thing will be shit if the rest of the "comedy" is anything to go by...

What dross

FogCutter · 15/03/2019 20:45

Not watching.

It's usually all too unfunny and smug.

And I also take issue with them supporting the likes of Mermaids.

goingtotown · 15/03/2019 20:52

It’s bad enough having Zoe Ball getting over excited on the radio talking nineteen to the dozen had enough now, it’s so boring.

Murphypoint · 15/03/2019 20:54

Mermaids? What’s that then?

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 15/03/2019 20:56

Keane still sound good, mind

Mumsymumphy · 15/03/2019 20:56

Is it me or does Keane not sound like Keane? I know it's the same lead singer but he just doesn't sound like he used to!

Ohyesiam · 15/03/2019 20:56

Not since the first one. That was enough.

Mumberjack · 15/03/2019 20:59

It’s always been shit before the watershed. Then after 9pm it’s slightly less shit but maybe that’s because they’re able to swear and be a bit dirty.

My sons infant school banned red noses as they cause too many arguments apparently.

surferjet · 15/03/2019 21:00

Quite enjoying it actually

SleepingSloth · 15/03/2019 21:01

Yes, I thought Keane were good. I love that song.

Thesnobbymiddleclassone · 15/03/2019 21:01

I'm just waiting for the four weddings part.

ContessaIsOnADietDammit · 15/03/2019 21:03

I'm enjoying it Blush I haven't watched it in forever though! I have donated but can't feel too bad about it; that little boy Gift in Africa made my heart hurt Sad

SleepingSloth · 15/03/2019 21:04

😂 It must be because they all have different designs. We bought a few and still didn't get the one my daughter was after. 🙄

JuniorAsparagus · 15/03/2019 21:05

I haven't even smiled yet.

staydazzling · 15/03/2019 21:08

my sons liked collecting the different noses at school, but i mention that every year the fundraising is non existent nowadays we did more fun things to raise money , making things, getting a whole class to fit in a huge pair of pants Grin

staydazzling · 15/03/2019 21:10

They get a non uniform day and pay a £1,......yes , you get to pay for the privilege of wearing your own clothes Hmm
