Four Weddings and a Funeral: Teaser for Red Nose Day special stars Hugh Grant and other original cast members

Comic Relief has released another teaser clip from its forthcoming film, which will reunite the original cast of Four Weddings and a Funeral for the first time in 25 years. 

The charity, which raises money to help end child poverty, revealed teaser clips showing each of the cast members making their return. The short film will be aired during Red Nose Day on BBC One on Friday 15 March. 

"Charles, Carrie, Tom, Fiona, Matthew, David, Bernard, John, Gerald, George and some surprise guests request the pleasure of your company at the wedding of the year," the cast members announce. 

The one-off special was produced with the blessing of rights holder Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios. The script was written by Richard Curtis, with some new faces, including Sophie Thompson, thrown into the mix. 

The teaser comes after the "sequel" was officially confirmed last year, with Curtis commenting: "We're all definitely older – I suspect no wiser. It's been really enjoyable working out what's happened to all the characters."

Hugh Grant, who starred as Charles the beloved 1994 romantic comedy, ends the clip with the reminder: "Don't be late."
