Red Nose Day

Rob Cowan, with poet and Radio 3 presenter Ian McMillan, celebrate Red Nose Day by inviting listeners to join a game of Consequences.

Radio 3 Breakfast celebrates Red Nose Day by inviting you to join Rob Cowan in a game of Consequences. Rob and his guest - popular poet and Radio 3 presenter Ian McMillan - will host a special edition of Breakfast as part of this year's Comic Relief.

The game of Consequences is a well known favourite at parties in which each participant adds a line to a structured story, often ending up with hilarious results. Ian and Rob will guide listeners through the process and pick out the sentences at random which have been emailed and texted into the programme. The challenge is that then Ian has to add his own sentence and attempt to make sense of what has gone before. The next sentence is then written by listeners and is picked at random, and so on until the end of the story is reached when the programme finishes at 10am.
