Sports Relief 2010

The charity fundraising entertainment show takes over the BBC from 7pm - 2:30am. Unlike Comic Relief, the comedy-related sketches are few and far between in these seven and a half hours... There are a couple of things to watch out for though, including a short Outnumbered special; 'Smithy' from Gavin & Stacey (James Corden) subjecting the cream of British sport (including David Beckham, Andy Murray and Jenson Button) to some unique coaching sesions; more from Eddie Izzard's marathon run; Joe Calzaghe versus Katy Brand; and a round of Mock the Week. To be honest you're probably best just watching the highlights on YouTube the next day (but do still donate - 03457 910 910)
