I thought that Sports Relief comedy sketch that James Corden made for last nights TV appeal was great. The clip started off at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards, which were held in Sheffield back in December 2009.

James, aka Smithy from Gavin and Stacey, was announced as Coach of the Year, He stood up to recieve his award and they played the usual clips of his work on the large screen.

The clip started out with Gary Linekar announcing Smithy as coach of the year. We then see Jenson Button getting out of his formula 1 car and an emotional Smithy giving him a huge hug to celebrate the win, it then goes to the top of a diving board where you see 15 year Tom Daley getting ready to dive with Coach Smithy.

Next came the best bit (well I would say that wouldn’t I?) the clip skips to a hotel room where David Beckham dressed in a bath robe is getting his nails manicured by Smithy, who we later see in the bath together reading a book, then in bed wearing matching pajamas watching the wedding of Kylie and Jason in neighbours, both are very emotional.

The Manchester United squad are next on the hit list, they are captured taking step aerobics lessons from Smithy, with faces such as Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand dancing away to the music.

Other clips show Freddie Flintoff on a pedalo in the park drinking beer and eating icecream with James and Andy Murray failing to win a game of tennis with Corden. Personally I thought it was great, but then again Becks in the bath, the very funny James Corden, why wouldn’t I?

The on-the-night total raised by the seven hour Sports Relief program was £29,323,818
