It's unlikely you'll want to sit through six hours of Comic Relief tonight, but if you do want to tune in to catch some of the specials take a look at when they're on below:

7pm

Rowan Atkinson brings back Mr Bean

Mr Bean is back for Comic Relief

He’s been off our screens for eight years, and now Mr Bean is back. Tonight he gets up to his usual antics at a funeral of a friend – but it seems the comic character hasn’t quite adapted to the modern world, taking a faux pas selfie of himself with the coffin.

Dermot O’Leary finally gets to sit down

O’Leary will have been dancing for 24 hours by the time he finally gets to sit down at 7pm tonight. With no sleep and only a few toilet breaks, the exhausted presenter said his danceathon has been harder than when he ran the marathon.

8pm

Geraldine Granger is also making a comeback this Red Nose Day in a topical episode that sees her campaigning to be made Bishop of Dibley. The chocolate-loving village vicar will face competition from a host of other female comedians.

9pm

Comedians including Stephen Fry, Miranda Hart and Sheridan Smith take to the stage at the London Palladium to raise a few laughs, and hopefully some money.
