It’s a bit of a Gavin & Stacey Comic Relief this year. There’s going to be a Gavin & Stacey sketch (possibly with lots of famous cameos); Joanna Page is going to be one of the celebrity Apprentices; and most importantly, the Comic Relief song this year is ‘Islands in the Stream’, as sung by Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon as Nessa and Bryn, with Sir Tom Jones.
The video’s not out until next month, but there was a reasonable snippet of it on Jonathan Ross on Friday. Here it is, at roughly 4m05s in, or you should (fingers crossed) be able to go straight to it on the YouTube site by clicking here.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
