	OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2005/Comic Relief Night
		There are probably statistics hidden away somewhere that reveal precisely how much Comic Relief raises through campaigns and stunts both before and after Red Nose Day compared to how much actually comes rolling in prompted by the latest extravagantly-filmed Rowan Atkinson spoof or shots of a comedian looking mournful in a tin hut in Africa.
		This year's Comic Relief Night confirmed, as had been the case in 2001 and 2003 and no doubt further back, that yet again all such things are long long gone.
		Comic Relief is now the only kind of TV, Children in Need aside, where people come on screen to do a turn then go off again.

		So many parents and teachers have believed erroneously that if a youngster reads illustrated stories, he or she won't be able to cope with books that consist only of words.
