Comic Relief

The BBC’s biggest charitable partners, Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need, are coming together for the first time ever for The Big Night In to celebrate those going the extra mile to help their communities throughout these difficult times.   

The live show aims to provide some light relief and entertainment, with some famous faces joining from home for some live music performances, big surprises and ‘money can’t buy’ prizes in an effort to support and cheer up whoever they can.

Cheat

Monday: ITV, 9.00pm

ITV’s new four-part thriller, Cheat, features Katherine Kelly as sociology lecturer Leah, and Molly Windsor as Rose, her scheming student.

How to Produce Comedy Bronze is a glorious blend of memoir and manual. It looks back on Jon Plowman’s 30-year career as a freelance producer and BBC Comedy impresario, and speaks to the next generation of aspiring TV producers with various learnings accumulated along the way.

The BBC's Comic Relief coverage gained the top spot with 245,848 tweets and over 84 million impressions, with Question Time coming in second with 131,000 tweets and 31 million impressions.

Comic Relief this year raised a staggering £73,026,234, which will be used to transform lives across the UK and in some of the world’s poorest communities.

The highest tweeting entertainment show was The Voice UK, which performed better than Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
