Sir Lenny Henry's Comic Relief swansong is watched by 3.6million viewers as comedy legend ends his 39 year hosting role by raising £38.6million for charity
The annual fundraising programme, which featured a host of comedy sketches, musical performances and tributes to Sir Lenny, saw a notable rise in viewers.
Elsewhere on the show, Hollywood actors including Julia Roberts, Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson made a special appearance to argue among each other to be named the most famous in a comedy sketch. The cast of spoof comedy series W1A, including Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville and Spaced actress Jessica Hynes, reunited to search for a new host and Steve Coogan appeared as his alter-ego Alan Partridge alongside comedian and actor Tim Key. In a music video, Sir Lenny joked he would turn 10 Downing Street into a "dope ass Premier Inn" while singing a spoof of the Oscar-nominated song I'm Just Ken from blockbuster film Barbie.
