LIVE 8: HALF EIGHT

McFly do a really, really ropey version of their charity single - we can't help but feel their presence on Saturday's bill might have made sense, attracting a whole different audience, and helping the viewing figures over the fifty per cent mark - here, though, they do little more than bring an air of a local radio station promotion to an event that needs little help to give that impression.

Eddie Izzard comes on stage to introduce someone or other, suggesting we make poverty history in the way we made slavery history. Actually, Ed, what say we try and do the job properly - what with slavery still being a nasty blight on the face of the earth, and all?
