Editing Comic Relief (section)

==On television==
The television programming begins in the afternoon, with [[CBBC]] having various related reports, money raising events and celebrity [[gunge|gunging]].  This is all in-between the regular programmes, but after the [[BBC News at Six|six o'clock news]], the normal BBC One schedule is suspended at 7&nbsp;pm in favour of a live show, with a break at 10&nbsp;pm for the regular [[news program]]me.  Whilst the [[BBC News at Ten]] is aired on BBC One, Comic Relief continues on [[BBC Two]], and then resumes on BBC One at 10:35&nbsp;pm, with each hour overseen by a different celebrity team.  These celebrities do the work for free, as do the crew, with studio space and production facilities donated by the BBC.

Regular themes throughout the shows include [[parodies]] of recent popular shows, films and clips, events, and specially filmed versions of comedy shows.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-03-15|title=The Great Red Nose Day Parodies|url=https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/comic_relief/special/red-nose-day-parodies/|access-date=2021-06-29|website=British Comedy Guide|language=en-GB}}</ref> ''[[Alas Smith and Jones|Smith and Jones]]'', and a parody sketch starring [[Rowan Atkinson]] were both regularly featured.<ref>{{Cite web|title=BBC – Comedy – Rowan Atkinson Profile|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/profiles/rowan_atkinson.shtml|access-date=2021-06-29|website=www.bbc.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=Alas Smith & Jones (TV Series 1984–1998) – IMDb|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088475/trivia|access-date=2021-06-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Griff Rhys Jones|url=https://www.primeperformersagency.co.uk/griff-rhys-jones|access-date=2021-06-29|website=Prime Performers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-06-07|title=Comedian Griff Rhys Jones to receive OBE|url=http://www.irishnews.com/magazine/entertainment/2019/06/07/news/comedian-griff-rhys-jones-to-receive-obe-1637399/|access-date=2021-06-29|website=The Irish News|language=en}}</ref>
