"Huge thanks from us all at Comic Relief for an unforgettable Red Nose Day. The success of this year’s campaign is down to the efforts of a whole bunch of great people and we just wanted to say that we really appreciate your part in making it happen. As you may know by now, we broke our own record for money raised on the night – a staggering £37,808,564 and already a steady flow of cash has started to come in from all the hundreds of fundraising events around the country. We are all feeling very excited by what promises to be the best Red Nose Day ever. Audiences turned on in their millions. We had a 52% share at 9.30pm and a peak of 12.7 million viewers. Over 5 million people were still watching at midnight."
