Eddie Izzard has taken over from John Cleese as compere

We Know Where You Live follows in the footsteps of the famous Secret Policeman's Balls, which ran through the 1970s, 80s and 90s under the artistic direction of ex-Python John Cleese.

Izzard has since taken over the mantle.

Bombing

Welsh crooner Jones sang his evocative hit the Green Green Grass of Home.

He said: "I was born in 1940 when the Germans were bombing the hell out of us so human rights is a very important thing so anybody who has a chance to speak for other people then we should do that."

Trigger Happy TV's Dom Joly reprised his famous mobile phone sketch, interupting Izzard's slot with a loud ringing, and his trademark bellow "hello".

Jonathan Ross took to the stage

DJs Smashy and Nicey, aka Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield, were brought out of retirement as well as Fast Show angry characters Frank and George.

Harry Hill, Richard Blackwood and Phill Jupitus were also on the bill.

Music offerings came from Mercury Music Prize winner Badly Drawn Boy and U2 via a live satellite link-up from Toronto.

Anniversary

Last week thousands of people took part in a London parade and street party to celebrate Amnesty's 40th anniversary.

The organisation was formed after a British lawyer set up a campaign to help prisoners of conscience after two Portuguese students were jailed for toasting freedom.

Richard Blackwood entertains the sell-out crowd

Forty years later, Amnesty International has intervened in the cases of 47,000 individuals, campaigning for an end to their torture, imprisonment or death sentence.

Burmese comedians U Pa Pa Lay and U Lu Zaw are currently in jail for poking fun at the government.

Their case is just one of thousands the charity brings into the public domain, naming and shaming the countries responsible.

In recognition of its work, Amnesty was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977.

Letters written by supporters are sent to lobby governments and authorities on behalf of individuals or groups of individuals to get them out of jail or prevent them being tortured.
