The show, which is being co-produced by the BBC, Comic Relief and Children In Need, aims to raise money to support “vulnerable people of all ages and backgrounds” who have been badly affected by the coronavirus crisis.

“The Big Night In will celebrate the acts of kindness, humour and the spirit of hope and resilience that is keeping the nation going during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic with a special night of programming for BBC One,” a BBC statement reads.

“This is the first time the BBC’s biggest charitable partners, BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief, have come together and the aim of the evening is to celebrate and reward those going the extra mile to support their communities in these troubled times.”
