Comic Relief

Inspired by the Live Aid concerts in 1985, Comic Relief started plastering red noses everywhere in 1986 to raise money.

Also in 1986, Cliff Richard hit the Number 1 spot in the UK charts with a spoof version of his old hit Living Doll which he recorded with the stars of the comedy series The Young Ones.

Proceeds from half a million sales of the single went to Comic Relief's efforts on behalf of Ethiopian famine victims.
