Red Nose Day Actually Page #2

---

was that cute wee girl, the singer at school.

You were 12, remember?

Hmm.

That's what's been on my mind.

Joanna!

We met up in New York and, er, well, that's why we're here.

Sir.

I was wondering if I could ask for your son's hand in marriage.

Please?

Really?

All you want for Christmas is this stringbean?

Yeah.

I'll think about it.

Dad?

Come here!

So, is that a yes?

I'm...thinking about it.

Morning.

Good morning.

Yes?

Robert.

Prime Minister, what happened to your arm?

I fell down the stairs while dancing to Hotline Bling.

I believe it happened to Palmerston as well.

Any serious questions?

Bernard.

Yes, Prime Minister, when you came to power the first time,

you were very optimistic.

You said that the power of good could finally win,

that love actually was all around.

14 years later, do you still feel as upbeat?

Well, um, interesting.

Obviously, times for many people have got harder and people

are nervous and fearful.

And it's not just in politics that things are tough.

Usain Bolt has run his last Olympics.

The Harry Potter films have finished.

Piers Morgan's still alive.

LAUGHTER.

But, let's look at the other side of the coin.

Metallica's new album is an absolute cracker.

And on a deeper level, I'm optimistic.

Wherever you see tragedy, you see bravery too.

Wherever you see ordinary people in need,

you see extraordinary ordinary people come to their aid.

Today's Red Nose Day, and people are giving their hard-earned cash

to people who they'll never meet, but whose pain and fear

they feel and want to fight.

So it's not just romantic love which is all around.

Most people still, every day, everywhere, have enough love

in their heart to help human beings in trouble.

Good's going to win.

I'm actually sure of it.

Yes, next question?

Keir?

Prime Minister, what do you think is the best

Christmas film ever made?

Well, don't be stupid.

Everyone knows it's Elf.

Yeah, Tommy?
