Red Nose Day 2007 was a fund raising event in England organized by Comic Relief, broadcast live on BBC One and BBC Two from the evening of 16 March 2007 to early the following morning. It was part of "The Big One" campaign. Presenters introduced the show in two halves, one titled 'The funny' and the other titled 'The money'.

Live final presented by Patrick Kielty and Claudia Winkleman with judges Craig Revel Horwood, Lesley Garrett and Richard Park and featuring Tricia Penrose singing "If I Ain't Got You" and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson - "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".

Alan Sugar decides which celebrity apprentice is not raising enough money for Comic Relief and fires them.

School children design a suit for Lenny Henry to wear whilst presenting tonight's show.

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May present their own Top Gear take on the axed chart show Top of the Pops, featuring performances from Lethal Bizzle, McFly, Travis and Supergrass, while the boys discuss "News" on various musical topics, and perform as a band for Justin Hawkins in the closing number.

Tim Westwood presents a special edition of Pimp My Ride in which he visits an old people's home in Staffordshire and then pimps their dishevelled 12-year-old LDV community transport bus. The finished bus came complete with waterproof seating, a walking stick rack and an onboard bingo hall.
