Comic Relief - The Fools' Guide

David Tennant narrates this retrospective on the highs and lows of the comedy-centred fundraising organisation. Victoria Beckham, Catherine Tate and Billy Connolly are among the celebrities giving an insider's view of the trials, tribulations and triumphs that have made up Comic Relief's first 21 years. The show also talks to founder Richard Curtis about the remarkable story behind Red Nose Day. The programme is peppered with classic Comic Relief clips but it does also look at the depressing reasons why the charitable fundraising is required.
