Little Britain Comic Relief Special

The 'Comic Relief does Little Britain Live' DVD went on sale for £5 and at least £3 from every sale went straight to Comic Relief.

Matt and David were joined by celebrity guests for a Live special for Comic Relief 2007.

The show took place on Wednesday 22 November 2006 at the Hammersmith Apollo.

Celebrity guest stars included:

• Kate Moss (played Vicky Pollard's sister).
• Jonathan Ross (who got a nasty surprise from Maggie and Judy).
• Dawn French (as barmaid Myfanwy in the Llandewi Breffi village pub).
• Kate Thornton (as Stars in their Eyes presenter in the Anne sketch).
• Russell Brand appeared in the show in a sketch involving transvestites Emily, played by David Walliams, and Florence (Lucas). He appeared as a plumber who stripped off his boiler suit to reveal his bra, suspenders and stockings.
• The real Dennis Waterman appeared alongside his fictional, miniature counterpart of the same name. He joined in to sing the theme tune to the television programme Minder - a long-standing joke which appears in the Little Britain TV series.
• Peter Kay as wheelchair bound Brian Potter.
• Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles as an overweight victim of Marjorie's fatfighter's club.
• David Baddiel (as a member of the audience) was brought onstage.
• Actress Patsy Kensit also had a cameo role in the show.

Held in aid of Comic Relief, stars such as Russell Brand, Kate Moss, Peter Kay and Jonathan Ross joined Matt Lucas and David Walliams on stage to make last Thursday's event at London's Hammersmith Apollo a truly special laugh-in.

Aside from the help of comedy heavyweights, arguably the highlight was Holby City star Jeremy Edwards accidentally exposing himself on stage. The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Edwards was pulled out of the audience by Walliams’s perverted ex-children’s entertainer Des Kaye. Also joining him on stage was the equally unsuspecting victim David Baddiel. The pair were then forced to play a game called "hunt the sausage" during which time Walliam's character started fiddling with Edwards. It was then that Walliams pulled down both Edwards' trousers and his pants, exposing 'little Jeremy' to over 3,000 astonished audience members!

Other highlights included the appearance of the real Dennis Waterman, who interrupted the duo's sketch which sends him up as a dopey midget who always has to write and sing the theme tune of every show he's in.
Accusing the Little Britain pair, he demanded: "tell me what is the point of this sketch? Firstly, I don’t speak like that. Secondly, I’m not a midget. Thirdly, I don’t insist on singing the theme tune."
However, all Lucas and Walliams had to do was mention Minder, On The Up and New Tricks and the argument was won. All Waterman could do was lead the audience in a chorus of I Should Be So Good For You to thunderous applause!

Tickets for the exclusive fundraiser were available for £125, £75 and £35. All the proceeds went to Comic Relief.

The show, Little Britain's Big Night, took place at the Hammersmith Apollo in West London and was being filmed by the BBC to be broadcast on March 16th 2007.
