David Walliams completes 24 hour challenge for Comic Relief

David Walliams managed to stay awake for 24 hours in the UK's first-ever live online streamed 24 hour panel show.

David Tennant, Jack Dee, Stephen Fry, Miranda Hart, Claudia Winkleman, David Mitchell, Dara O'Briain, Paul O'Grady and Sue Perkins were just some of the star studded line-up who helped him to complete the marathon challenge of anchoring 24 Hour Panel People; a performance of some of the nation's favourite panel shows including Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Have I Got News For You, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Argumental - streamed here on this site.

Asked how he was feeling after his marathon 24 Hour Panel People challenge, he said:

"Like I'm descending into madness! No it was fine, but it does take its toll on you just physically with things like your eyes not being able to focus so well anymore on the autocue."

Asked whether it was as difficult as he expected, David said:

"Yes it was as tough as I thought it would be, particularly at the end just having to keep the show together, being so exhausted and not being able to think straight any more, especially being the host of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and having to make the rounds work.. I just couldn't really read the autocue anymore because my eyes couldn't focus which is quite a scary thing especially as there was an audience here.

"It was tough yes but it was the right side of tough. I mean if I was slumped on the desk not saying anything I think it really wouldn't have been very entertaining but you could see I was a little bit delirious towards the end."

You can catch highlights from 24 Hour Panel people in five half-hour shows to be screened on BBC Three in the week leading up to Red Nose Night on 18th March, and during the night itself on BBC One.
