Want to join Andrew Lincoln filming Love Actually 2?

From Digital Spy

In case you missed it: Love Actually 2 is a very real thing that is happening very soon. Exciting stuff, we know.

But if the prospect of a sequel alone isn't enough for you, then the news that you can win a visit to the set will surely make you happier than Billy Mack's manager on New Year's Eve.

To celebrate the return of everyone's favourite rom-com for Comic Relief, Red Nose Day is giving fans the chance to win a visit to set as Andrew Lincoln (Mark) and Keira Knightley (Juliet) film the final scenes.

All it takes to be in with a shot is a fundraising idea, a Red Nose Day Giving Page and a tweet to Emma Freud, director of RND and partner of director Richard Curtis. Easy, right?

The Love Actually gang will be reuniting for a one-off 10-minute special this March. Curtis's brand new script will follow on from the original movie, revisiting our favourite characters 14 years later. (Yes, it hasbeen that long.)

Not everyone is back for the sequel, though. Following last year's sad death of Alan Rickman his on-screen wife Emma Thompson said that she won't be taking part in the special, as it would be "too sad" and "too soon" after her friend's death.

Speaking to PA, Thompson explained: "Richard wrote to me and said, 'Darling, we can't write anything for you because of Alan', and I said, 'No of course, it would be sad, too sad'.

"It's too soon. It's absolutely right because it's supposed to be for Comic Relief – but there isn't much comic relief in the loss of our dear friend really, only just over a year ago."

Red Nose Day Actually will see returns from the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Martine McCutcheon, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Bill Nighy.

It will be broadcast on BBC One on Red Nose Day – Friday, March 24.
