More than two months after Red Nose Day 2005 on March 11th, the money is
still coming in.
Boosted this year by the long running success of (Is This The Way To)
Amarillo, the collection of DVD sketches and, of course, the TV marathon, the
current total stands at around £49million.
The phone calls made to Strictly Dance Fever also provided money for the
cause.
This money comes from a mixture of phone pledges, donations from companies
and the real key to the success of Red Nose Day - the general public.
The BBC site is predicting the total could be as high as
£63m.
