Lenny Henry hosts a packed night of entertainment at London's O2

It's time for the nation to don red noses  once more for another comedy spectacular packed full of cheeky sketches, special performances and one or two surprises! Sir Lenny Henry takes his rightful place at the centre of proceedings with a lavish opening sequence to kick off events live from London's O2.

We can't wait to see Red Nose Day Actually, which reunites Love Actually stars 14 years on, including Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth and Andrew Lincoln.

Also joining in the laughs on the night are French & Saunders, Warwick Davis, Graham Norton, David Walliams, Alan Partridge and the Smack the Pony ladies, while Mel and Sue will be gearing up for tomorrow's Let’s Sing and Dance for Comic Relief final.

If all that wasn't enough, Mrs Brown and Peter Kay will be offering sneak peeks of their new shows, and there are music performances from the likes of Emili Sandé and Ed Sheeran – plus Greg Davies in Greg Davies' Hot Tub Half-Hour (BBC2, 10.00pm)! Just make sure you donate!
