Billy Monger's Big Red Nose Day Challenge
To raise money for 2021's Red Nose Day, professional racing driver Billy Monger pushes himself to the limit as he takes on a truly unforgettable celebrity challenge - walking, kayaking and cycling 140 miles across England. Already an enormous test of mental and physical endurance, to complete this incredible challenge Billy will have to overcome the unpredictable British elements and the odds. Four years ago Billy became a double amputee as a result of a horrendous racing accident.
To make it to the finish line, Billy will have to walk further than he's ever had to before, kayak for the first time in his life and learn how to cycle again for the first time since his crash. But if anyone can do it, Billy can. As a successful racing driver, Billy is already used to pushing the limits of what can be achieved.
Each stage of the journey takes place in a different part of the country, with Billy joined along the way by a host of surprise celebrity supporters.

Red Nose Day
The UK's biggest night of comedy and entertainment is back, bringing together stars of stage, screen and the movies for an epic three-hour comedy special, entertaining the nation with hilarious sketches, live performances, big surprises and stunning music acts - all to raise much-needed cash for good causes at home and across the world.
Joining Sir Lenny Henry live from the studio are Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness, Alesha Dixon and David Tennant.
Among the unmissable moments: the greatest disaster movie never made, featuring Keira Knightley at her wits end; the hosts of Top Gear facing interrogation by their most savage critics to date – and not one of them is old enough to get behind the wheel of a car; and a special message from Geraldine Granger, who takes on this year's fundraising challenge to lip sync to her favourite song of last year, Juice by Lizzo.
The One Show have raided their cutlery draw to help soccer stars-turned-presenters Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas take part in the world's largest and longest Red Nose and Spoon Race.

Comedian Tim Vine is on a mission to reward the men and women of the UK's military forces by spreading a smile, and some of the UK's best-loved comedians have just 24 hours to get together and perfect their opera voices under the watchful eyes of a world-famous mentor. Then they'll perform live to the nation for one night only.
Paying homage to the video for Harry Styles' single Treat People with Kindness, Comic Relief gets the nation up and dancing for Red Nose Day 2021. And Jack Whitehall hosts a Comic Relief Zoom meeting that quickly descends into chaos.

The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime.
