First of all let me start by nailing my colours to the mast. I think the whole concept of Comic Relief is brilliant and I have the greatest admiration for what they do, how they go about it and the benefit they bring to those in the developing world; but it is not enough. We should not be relying on these well meaning people and the ...  Read the complete review

Charity, as they say, begins at home. But not this year, this yaer I found that charity acctually begins in the book shop. Two new Harry Potter books and a new Bridget Jones book, and at a price that wont hurt the pocket. Well done Comic Relief, i hope you made a fortune from these. It seems to me, for what its worth, that Comic Relief have ...  Read the complete review

So Red nose day/Comic relief is over and as you read this you are most likely back to work/college/university etc leading a normal life. So how many people have forgotten what it was all about? Or didn’t bother to pledge any money after friday? Well in some ways I suppose it is understandable as it is was only on main television for one ...  Read the complete review

Starting last friday with the six celebrities going into the big brother house. Chris Eubank, Vanessa Feltz, Claire Sweeney, Anthea Turner, Keith Duffy and Jack Dee. I ...  Read the complete review

There are points both for and against Comic Relief, and charities in general. I have heard it said both here on dooyoo and elsewhere that charities are not the way to improve the lives of those in the third world, as in order to give them a decent way of life, we need to do a lot more than just donate (relatively) small amounts to charity - ...  Read the complete review

What did you do to pull the pants off poverty? Guess what I did! Long live the mohican, I have never done a mohican on my hair before, it so notty and curly and annoying that I thought that i would never be able to do anything with it. But I did. Down I walked to the local hair dresser, marched in and ordered a ...  Read the complete review

Do you give a lot for Charideee? Can you afford it? If there is one thing that I cannot stand it is the thought of the grimace behind the strained smile as yet another coin tinkles into a bucket. The worst thing about Comic Relief is not the abysmal hijacking of Friday night telly - often the only night there is anything ...  Read the complete review

Have not written for a while, I picked this as the topic to regain my enthusiasm. Red Nose Day really is a good way to raise money for charities. It makes us remember that there are less fortunate people than ourselves in the world and highlights their plight to the rest of us. What I do not remember in years gone by is the complete ...  Read the complete review

Comic Relief is great fun, it's a well known charity that benefits nearly everyone in need both overseas and here in the UK. You can see for yourself that the Celebrity Big Brother hopes to raise near to £1 million pounds for the cause, what a great achievement... and I hope that everyone eases up on Vanessa for 'playing into the ...  Read the complete review

*formerly known as "Read my Comic Relief op, rate it Not Useful and call me names in the comments box" I thought the below opinion would ruffle some feathers, but appears that I am vastly overestimating my capacity for stirring things up. I obviously have to change the title as the reaction has been largely positive, and ...  Read the complete review

This year's red nose is both a triumph and a disaster of a design. For anyone who has not yet seen one, let me say I think the look of the design is great. A bright red nose that is also a cheeky face with a protruding tongue that blows a raspberry when tweaked. Bearing in mind that the vast majority of these nose wearers are kids ...  Read the complete review

How can you knock an organisation like Comic Relief? It’s the only charity I know of that actually guarantees that every penny they receive in donations goes towards the projects they support – that means absolutely none of it is spent on admin costs which is an achievement in itself! So far Comic Relief has raised more than ...  Read the complete review

Oh dear I think I may well upset the applecart......I'm afraid I cannot stand Comic Relief. I don't really know what it is, but the whole thing doesn't sit easily with me. I know it's for a good cause, I know I should be charitable but something at the back of my mind tells me a lot of so called stars have profited ...  Read the complete review
