The season’s concluding episode, originally scheduled for that night, was postponed to Friday, March 28, 2025, at 9pm on BBC One, allowing the channel to broadcast Red Nose Day live from 7pm. Comic Relief 2025 celebrated its 40th anniversary with a star-studded lineup, raising significant funds for charity while featuring sketches, performances, and special crossovers.
