 In this week's show we answer three questions from Laurie, Joud and Sonny with help from special guest experts Emma Freud and Richard Curtis. 

 

Emma Freud and Richard Curtis founded Red Nose Day and Comic Relief 35 years ago with comedian Lenny Henry. They tell us why we wear red noses and what Red Nose Day is all about. 

 

Our second question is about funny bones, we find out that it’s actually a nerve and there’s a great reason why it’s called a funny bone when it isn’t a bone and isn’t very funny!

 

Thirdly we discover why snot comes out when you cry, how many sinuses you and why snot is a very useful thing for your body.
