The Best Bits
Fifteen minutes of pure comedy gold refined from 2009's Comic Relief television marathon, the celebrity-packed extravaganza in which Britain did something funny for money.

The Net Result
In March 2009, Gary Barlow and mates Cheryl Cole, Ronan Keating, Chris Moyles, Fearne Cotton, Ben Shephard, Kimberly Walsh, Alesha Dixon and Denise Van Outen volunteered for a sponsored walk which was a bit tougher than they had imagined. They climbed Mt Kilimanjaro to highlight the deadly issue of malaria, and raised 3 and a half million pounds in the process.
Now Gary and some of his pals return to Uganda to help distribute half a million malaria nets bought with Comic Relief money, and introduce the funniest moments from Red Nose Day 2009 - including French and Saunders' Mamma Mia, Smithy's England Sketch and Robert Webb's unforgettable Flashdance.
Recently Updated Shows

The Chicken Sisters
The Chicken Sisters is a family drama dipped in southern charm and served up with a saucy side of romance. The setting is the fictional town of Merinac, where a generations-old rift between dueling fried chicken restaurants – Mimi's and Frannie's – has left the founders' families fractured and the locals taking sides. When popular cooking competition show Kitchen Clash comes to town, this could be the recipe for ending this feud once and for all. But things are fixing to heat up both inside and outside of the kitchen as the reality show spotlight causes sparks to fly as secrets are spilled and feathers get ruffled.

Irish Blood
Irish Blood focuses on Fiona, whose path in life is earmarked by her father, Declan, who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday. After years of channelling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her father sends her to Ireland. There she learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn't know she exists, and, moreover, that the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life - was a lie. A lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father's shady business dealings. Fiona resolves to uncover the full truth about her father and reconnect with the parent she only thought she knew.

All Our Wrong Todays
All Our Wrong Todays tells the story of Tom Barren, who lives in a world where technology has solved all of humanity's problems — there's no war, no poverty, no under-ripe avocadoes. However, Tom isn't happy, because he's lost the girl of his dreams. So, what do you do when you're heartbroken and have a time machine? You end up in an alternate reality, obviously.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
A century before the events of "Game of Thrones," two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.
