What Peter Capaldi Did for Red Nose Day 2015

While it seems that this year’s Red Nose Day charity laugh-a-thon is a little subdued compared to previous years, Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi got involved and travelled to Africa to record a film for the Comic Relief telethon, which airs this evening on BBC One.

Arriving in Malawi’s second city, Blantyre (no, you read that right – it was named after Victorian missionary David Livingstone’s birthplace in South Lanarkshire) before moving onto the massive slum of Ndirande, where the Comic Relief-funded C-Code project has been funding development of sanitation facilities, among other things.

To get the full flavour of the work going on in Malawi, and what Capaldi experienced, we recommend you take a read of his emotive diary on the Radio Times website, and you should certainly look out for the accompanying film in tonight’s fundraising show, in the absence of any Doctor Who-themed skits.
