Relief from comic


And while we're on the subject, hearty congratulations to the BBC for realising it has a massive, charity money-making hit on its hands with the Comic Relief Lame Academy, and having the guts to fiddle around with the schedules at the last minute to fit in more of it at primetime. Chig applauds Auntie for ditching Changing Rooms last night to make a one hour special, and for shunting whatever it was that made way for tonight's extra 30 mins as well. Now, let's make it all worthwhile. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease vote for Will Mellor to win tonight. He can't be in Casualty for ever (unlike most NHS patients. Ha, ha! Comedy, see?!) And besides, that nice Lord Lloyd-Webber (cough, splutter) practically promised Will a career in musical theatre on last night's programme. Ruby Wax may well be the fourth funniest woman in the world (after Dawn French, Victoria Wood and Lynette Burrows - oh sorry, I was confusing the word 'funny' with the word 'laughable' for that last one), but let's face it, she's only made the final because she's so gloriously terrible. Vote for Will to win and he can be the new Michael Ball, because we've had enough of the old one. Or the new Claire Sweeney. 'Soap star's career rejuvenated by reality TV show.' Yep, it has a familiar ring to it.
Call 09011 154 003 or txt Will to 82200. (Imagine there's some legal gubbins here telling you how much it costs.)
