So what dose everyone think? There are more gest to add, who do you think they will be? On the day there will be "tasks" for people to do any idea?

[James R]

Seems a lot to do in 3.5hrs. Doesnt sound very creative compared to previous efforts

[bmstinton93]

So Chris Moyles can climb a mountain and do 52 hours on air but his replacement just gets some celebrity guests on the show and effectively gets a much easier show out of it. Hate Grimmy.

On Thursday 14 March, The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw will be attempting to raise as much money as possible for Comic Relief in a three-and-half-hour show.

From 6.30am, Nick will be joined by a whole host of guests who he will call on to do some weird and wonderful things to help raise money for Red Nose Day. Listeners can watch all the action live on the red button and on the Radio 1 website throughout the morning.

Some of the guests confirmed so far include David Walliams, Little Mix, Jessie J, Conor Maynard, Rizzle Kicks, Union J, Louis Smith, Claudia Winkleman and Wretch 32 – with more to be announced shortly.

Radio 1 will be inviting as many people as possible to join the effort to raise money. All the money raised can help change lives forever across the UK and Africa. Listeners can donate on the day by texting the word ‘HELP’ to 70005 or by visiting bbc.co.uk/radio1. Texts costs £5 plus your standard network message charge. Donators must be 16 years or older and have the bill payer’s permission. Full terms and conditions are available on the website.

Nick Grimshaw says: “I’m really excited to be so heavily involved in Comic Relief this year – I can’t wait to do a mega show and hopefully raise a lot of money for charity!”

Andy Worrell , Editor of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, says: “We’re putting together an exciting three-and-a-half hours full of adventure and fun, all to raise money for brilliant causes in Africa and right here in the UK. Expect to see some amazing surprise guests throughout the show too!"

I think that you're being more than a tad harsh here. The big 'adventure' challenges seem to be shared among the DJs, Chris and Fearne did Killi, Scott did the dessert and Greg did the boats this year. I think it was probably too soon in his reign for Grimmy to do one of those this year but I'm sure his time will come, probably next time! He could never try to do anything like what Chris and Dave did in 2011, it's too soon. So I think this is about right, he's promoting Comic Relief (He's actually doing lots of stuff for them, he did the Brand gig, the Norton show and will be presenting 'on the night'!). Perhaps it could have been a little 'bigger', maybe on OB or atleast in The Radio Theatre.

Also why on Thursday and not Friday?

This week they've been playing radio appeal clips (like telly ones), they never did this when Chris Moyles did have marathon 52 hours or for any previous R1 Red Nose Day stuff - have they?

[Harkinson]

Did anyone record this? I missed the start of it.

[j10cool10]

Anyone know what time this finished? I record up till 10:10 (which is when the Red Button slot ended) but listening to the start of Sara's show on iPlayer, Grimmy is still there an hour or so in.

[Harkinson]

The cameras turned off at 11am

[DarkAngelMJH]

I got about 20 mins into the show & turned over. I can't deal with constant appeals for money.

Can you upload the red button stream to t'internet?
