Steven Moffat has revealed more details about Doctor Who’s contribution to this year’s Comic Relief festivities!

Speaking to SFX, the showrunner confirmed that not one but two 4-minute mini-episodes will be airing during BBC One’s telethon on Friday 18th March – one called ‘Space’ and the other called ’Time’! “Two episodes. Two mini-episodes. Very, very small episodes - maybe eight minutes in total, so that’s around four minutes each,” he explained. “It’s not a spoof, so it’s taken seriously as a proper bit of Doctor Who.”

He continued: “I’m really, really pleased with them. I think they’re really good, really very funny. It’s Matt, Karen and Arthur, and there isn’t a guest character. It’s just the three of them. A moment of life aboard the TARDIS. But obviously life about the TARDIS instantly gets you into terrible jeopardy, and all of causality is threatened. As I’m sure it is every day when they get up and have their coffee…”

Two pictures from the mini-episodes were released yesterday, including one featuring two Amys, about which Moffat has teased: “There’s a moment with two Amys in it. If you’re a red-blooded male surely that’s enough! You’ve got Amy flirting with herself…”

David Tennant is one of the many celebrities who is helping to launch this year’s Red Nose Day campaign!

The Tenth Doctor actor appears in a new Hamlet-inspired photo in which he can be seen sporting the Vivienne Westwood William Shakespeare t-shirt, designed exclusively for Comic Relief. Red Nose Day will take place on Friday 18th March on BBC One, with a whole night of entertaintment fronted by a host of familiar faces, including James Corden, Fearne Cotton and Davina McCall!

It’s nearly time to do something funny for money, and you can now get your hands on a free fundraising kit, containing everything you need to raise lots and lots of cash!

Overnight ratings for Comic Relief: Funny for Money show that an audience of around 8.3million tuned in to watch the Red Nose Day special of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

The segment of the show which was presented by David Tennant averaged at 9.2million, and peaked at a whopping 11.3million at 8PM. The programme itself peaked at 12.7million at 9PM.

David was also on hand at the end of the night to bring in the final total of the evening, which was a record-breaking £57,809,938. The money will go towards helping to drastically improve the lives of people living in poverty, or facing terrible injustice, both here in the UK and across Africa.

This year’s Red Nose Day special of The Sarah Jane Adventures has just aired as part of BBC One’s Comic Relief Funny for Money Show!

The exclusive sketch, which was written by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman, saw Sarah Jane, Luke, Rani and Clyde experiencing what will probably be the strangest 5 minutes of their lives (which is quite strange in itself considering some of the things they get up to - for more information see Series 1 and 2), when a galactic soldier, played by comedian Ronnie Corbett, appeared in the attic bearing gifts for the valiant Earth defenders. But in true SJA fashion, he wasn’t what he seemed, and it was soon discovered that he was, in fact, a Slitheen in disguise. But also in true SJA fashion, K-9 appeared and with the help of Sarah Jane & co, they saved the world again and were home in time for tea!

The Sarah Jane Adventures will be back on our screens this Autumn for its third series, which is currently in production.

We hope you’ve had a great Red Nose Day so far and you’re all enjoying whatever it is you’ve been doing to raise money for this year’s Comic Relief appeal! 

But it’s always important to remember why we dress up in embarrassing outfits and take part in sponsored silences and such like – it’s to raise money to change the lives of thousands of people living here in the UK and abroad. Since it was founded in 1985, the charity has raised over £600 million!

Tonight, BBC One will be treating us to a whole night of comedy (including a special SJA sketch, featuring a guest appearance from Ronnie Corbett!), and in exchange all they ask is that we donate as much as we can to the appeal. If you haven’t donated yet, it’s not too late! Click here to go to the official RND website to find out how you can send some money in!

Don’t forget to tune into the Comic Relief Show tonight from 7PM on BBC One! The Sarah Jane Adventures: Red Nose Day Special will transmit at around 7.15PM.

We’re now just a few short hours away from this year’s Red Nose Day telethon on BBC One!
