What time is BBC's Big Night In on TV and who's on it?

The BBC are hoping to lift some spirits while raising money with The Big Night In.

For the first time ever Comic Relief and Children In Need are joining forces for the special programme to raise money for local charities and vulnerable people significantly impacted by the crisis.

The special will air from 7pm until 10pm on Thursday, April 23 with plenty of familiar faces, live music performances and 'money can't buy' prizes.

Matt Baker, Zoe Ball, Lenny Henry, Davina McCall and Paddy McGuinness are presenting the show.

Some classic TV comedies will also be making a comeback.

This includes The Vicar of Dibley, which will see Dawn French reprise her role, David Walliams and Matt Lucas are back with Little Britain and Catherine Tate returns as school girl Lauren who's being taught remotely by her teacher - David Tennant.

Plus, Peter Kay is unveiling new version of his '(Is This The Way To) Amarillo' music video, featuring some very important key workers. More famous faces are expected to be confirmed in the coming days.

The BBC are also asking viewers to get involved with a Strictly Keep Dancing challenge. The Strictly dancers will help everyone at home learn a routine which you can then upload to social media with the hashtag #keepdancingchallenge and maybe appear on TV.
