Comic Relief Special Alan Partridge hosts a special broadcast for Red Nose Day - and it's every bit as tasteful and sensitive as his legions of fans have come to expect. Alan is again joined by Sidekick Simon to "put poverty bang to rights". "Comic Relief isn't just about the fun things that we all love, like Chris Moyles doing a guest appearance on Two Packets of Crisps and a Pint of Lager. It's about serious things, like Davina McCall holding the hand of an African boy whilst crouching down and saying a phone number. It's very, very solemn." |
