Who doesn’t love Love Actually? It’s a near perfect film, and easily one of the best rom-coms of all time, if not the best. It’s been 14 years since the film came out, and now we’re finally getting a follow up special to celebrate Red Nose Day.
This teaser is a short but sweet one paying homage arguably the film’s most iconic moment – Andrew Lincoln asks us via hand drawn signs to watch the new special on BBC1, as he once told Keira Knightley that she was perfect. Lincoln is rocking his current Walking Dead look, which is a far sight from his well groomed, baby faced appearance in the original film, but I imagine a lot of the charm of this special will be seeing how our favourite characters look now.
With appearances from Colin Firth, Martine McCutcheon, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and most importantly, Bill Nighy, Red Nose Day Actually will hopefully be a worthy follow up to the beloved rom-com.
Red Nose Day is on BB1 on March 24th
Slightly related – one of my favourite bits of the BFI Black Star presentation was the MC trying to pronounce Chiwetel Ejiofor.
