Pointless, but undeniably sweet.
It's cool to see the majority of the faces from the 1994 original return for this <em>'One Red Nose Day and a Wedding'</em> short, especially Hugh Grant and Rowan Atkinson. Lily James, meanwhile, makes for a nice addition. There are a few decent callbacks in there, also.
