Red Nose Day 2015 was a fund-raising event organised by Comic Relief, broadcast live on BBC One and BBC Two from the evening of 13 March 2015 to early the following morning. It was part of the "Face the Funny" campaign. It was held on Friday 13 March till Saturday 14 March 2015 from 7:00 pm to 2:00 am on BBC One.
Due to the closure of BBC Television Centre, Comic Relief has had to look for new venues to host the annual telethons as they were previously filmed live from Studio One. Sport Relief 2014 was the first not to be filmed at Television Centre, but at the Copper Box in London's Olympic Park. As a result, Red Nose Day 2015 came live, for the first time in its history, from the heart of London in its most prestigious theatre, the London Palladium.
After 30 years of Comic Relief, the overall total stands at £1,047,000,000.
A team of celebrity support mixed with local talent will transform a run-down clinic in eastern Uganda from a place where people were scared to set foot in, into a fully functioning healthcare facility that the staff and local community can be proud of. The entire story of Comic Relief's brand new, ambitious and life changing project Operation Health is finally coming to TV screens across the country. Celebrities who took part included: Lenny Henry, Richard Hammond, Doon Mackichan, Anita Rani, John Bishop, Steve Backshall and Dermot O'Leary.
The Bake Off returned for a four-part series on Wednesday 11 February at 8pm on BBC One. Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood returned as Judges whilst Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Jo Brand and Ed Byrne each hosted one of the four episodes solo.
