More Comic Relief sketches - commercials, Outnumbered, Smithy and the England team, and David Tennant as one of The Proclaimers

Posted on March 13, 2009 | 2 comments |

US blogging pal Toby has been paying far more attention to Comic Relief than I have, it seems. I feel quite shamed. So this is me, being shamed into action.

First up, as pointed out by Tobes, here's a selection of much-loved characters from British commercials – as well as Michael Winner – clubbing together to come up with an idea for Comic Relief. Can you recognise them all?

Outnumbered is also doing a sketch and here's some footage that didn't make it (thanks again Tobes!)

I can't embed this one, so you're going to have to go over to The Mirror's web site to see it, but James Corden does a turn as Smithy from Gavin & Stacey with the England football team, too.

And lastly, have you ever wondered what David Tennant would look like blond? Or as one of The Proclaimers?

    LOL - you're rubbing my nose in it with the shame-faced thanks, aren't you! Ha! Fair enough, I deserved it.

    Thanks for the tip-off to the Smithie clip. There's a good post I can put up for later tonight.

    And I'll remember this time!

    No, no. Wasn't doing that. I was just thinking you'd put more effort into it than I had...
