Amid the laughs, powerful films reminded us why Red Nose Day matters—David Tennant on food poverty, Alesha Dixon on domestic abuse, and an emotional EastEnders special on mental health.

Millions are expected to tune in to the annual Red Nose Day broadcast next week. Red Nose Day is back for 2025 with a live show on BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer on Friday, March 21 from 7pm.
