Anyone watching comic relief?

[Whisky2014]

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

Yes it did. Well it showed a baby in blue. Which in 1994 meant a Male baby.

TwitterQueen agree. Was waiting for 4WAAF but Bodyguard intermingled with LOD was great. Lindsey Denton/Home Secretary in boot - genius.

But Richard Madden is sublime. Fact 😀

I am veryaware of how charities operate - I do the audits of their accounts
BUT
because I read an almost unhealthy level of charity published accounts, I'm aware of those where the balance has gone a bit sideways and are more about the collection than the distribution

What happened in part 2?
Did Hugh Grant do cringey dad dancing?
Did Lily Collins break into Abba song?
Did Dame whatseface sneer about Americans?
Pray tell, I missed it.

So was lily Collins meant to have been a boy?

So are you trying to put people off donating to a charity which does so much good around the world? Strange that you also have an issue with who they work with.

That's very, very low.

Who was Fiona married to, someone from the original film? In the montage at the end she’s with Prince Charles, I’m assuming she didn’t marry him

I love Clara!

I gave up and switched off ages ago. I dont think I've ever seen 4 weddings and a funeral.. should I?!

Whisky yes you should, it's in my top 10, near the top

Good to see Alan and Sidekick Simon on there. Have turned off now.. studio stuff is very wooden and dull

Did anyone see what Alan partridge said about gender? Quite illuminating.

No.what?

I missed 4 weddings bit. I did see Beckham and mostly wondered if he even gives a single penny.

Something about being sick off the BBC walking on eggshells.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but min £10 text donation? You're pricing people out. No joke. There's probably loads of people who'd have done £1-5 but can't do £10.

In the same way I wish genuine charities who have permission to collect at my local supermarket could find a way to let me select £1 and touchless pay. I don't carry cash!

Never watch telethons, though for good causes. A valid point about small donations, as all money raised helps.

I had to google to find out who the 2 presenters were ! He was awful and her plastic face seemed incapable of movement! Gave up after 10mins hopefully can find the 4weddings bit on catch up this morning!

I stupidly watched the highlights. Struggling to see where it was meant to be funny...

It wasn't funny at all, and they didn't make as much money as usual.

What's this about a baby in blue? Whose baby, and what's it supposed to mean? Totally confused!

In the original film 4 weddings and a funeral clawdy at the end credits they did snapshots of the characters' futures/endings - so the guy who lost his partner met someone knew, thunderbolt guy got.married etc Hugh Grant and Andy McDowell did not get hitched but had a baby...the baby was wearing blue in the polaroid. So...blue for a boy according to everyday sexism/traditionalist thinking.
Cut to 20+ years later and the continuity is lost because their assumed son is now Lily Collins getting hitched to (holding-a-candle-for-Hugh's character) Fiona's daughter played by Alicia Vikander so that Richard Curtis can add politically correct gay wedding to the aforesaid 4 weddings, despite the pair being lesbians being the butt of the 'joke'with regard to the hapless vicar's ineptitude/lack of awareness. That is all.

Lily James. Not Lily Collins. HTH.

Yes, the Abba lass. Got her name right on the night then forgot it again - I always get those two confused, James was Cinders, Collins was Snow White.
Both talented, pretty and annoyingly young

Oh and I spelt Andie MacDowell wrong too for any pedants out there
