This week’s must-see TV
1 Red Nose Day 2017 FRIDAY, BBC ONE, 7PM This year’s fundraising shenanigans for Comic Relief are shaping up to be memorable. Highlights are set to include a performance from the ultimate boyband, ‘Boys Allowed’ – which unites 90s stars Duncan James from Blue, Jon Lee from S Club 7, Gareth Gates, Vanessa Feltz’s hubby Ben Ofoedu from Phats & Small and Ritchie Neville from Five. The lads will be performing in dresses, wigs, high heels – the whole lot, to belt out Girls Aloud hit Biology. Also taking to the stage will be none other than Take That, to take part in a very special Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. And whatever you do, don’t miss the 10-minute ‘sequel’ to Love Actually, reuniting Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon, Colin Firth and Bill Nighy from the brilliant 2003 romcom. Enjoy that nostalgia trip…
