## Comic Relief special

A special five-minute sketch, titled "The Erroneous Storm", was included as part of Comic Relief and broadcast on 11 March 2005. The story takes place during a thunderstorm in which, after being scared, Michael and Janey join Ben and Susan in their bedroom. They are soon joined by Nick who, thanks to now being a party reviewer, brings with him Adam Hart-Davis, Anthony Head, Myleene Klass, Nell McAndrew, Dermot Murnaghan, Clive Russell and Jamie Theakston. It was directed by Dewi Humphreys and written by James Hendrie and Ian Brown. The short special attracted 10.94 million viewers.
