Tonight's the night everyone - 7pm onwards on BBC1 for those in the UK, and no doubt soon after via the iPlayer and YouTube uploads!
"Daniel and the cast members reveal the biggest Bond secret yet and it promises to be a bombshell which is set to ‘shock the world’."

Sir Roger has tweeted again this morning. Apparently his "Bond On Bond" book is coming out again, in paperback, updated, in autumn 2015. Presumably to include items from, and to tie in with "Spectre"?

It must have, with maybe more thoughts and speculation following on from 'Skyfall', as not much really has happened in the world of 007 since.

It's coming up in the next hour. Probably sooner than later!

BRILLIANT! Such good sports!

Can anyone describe what it was exactly?

It's one that isn't as funny describe, the humour is in the watching - and listening.

I found it very disappointing. A very easy and bland kind of humor. And no SPECTRE behind the scene's at all.

It was a bit of a waste of time, with all the talent involved I was expecting something with at least tasteful humour. It was all a bit childish really and not really funny. Some weird thing about the Bond actors having strange voices and having to be re dubbed. No Spectre glimpses either, all archive footage.

Did Rog and Craig appear on screen together?

I liked it. It was easy humour and a cheap laugh, but that's what a lot of Comic Relief sketches have been like over the years. I think it was the juxtaposition of the voice and the character.

Awww come on, this wasn't made for us to have a glimpse BTS at 'Spectre' or anything, this was to have the Bond name and turn it on it's head for a bit of innocent family fun, for die hard and casual fans alike. It was nice to see the big players take part and not take it so seriously, coming over like a real BTS documentary actually!
DC looked great, as did all of them, and if you want BTS for 'Spectre' than maybe his wounds were a sign of a fight he's in?
But really, for what it was, I thought it was very sweet and fun for the theme of the day. I didn't want to see anything else.

They just showed a trail for later tonight, which included the Catherine Tate/Daniel Craig sketch.

I think the Sarah Millican part was a mistake, The other voices worked, in the context of the sketch.

I've just watched a repeat viewing they've just shown. It's not a sketch that holds up to multiple viewings, I think the initial viewing worked for me because it was unexpected and the odd voice coming from Craig was a nice juxtaposition, when the surprise is taken away, the idea is good but the humour wanes.
Commander

For the length of it, I doubt it was anything more than just a bit of fun, and I thought it was just that. Loved how petulant Craig looked during it, like a right child!

That completely fell flat for me. I actually found it hard to watch.

I laughed out loud when first I saw it. Admittedly it's not the strongest joke in the world, but the humour comes totally from the deadpan delivery of everyone involved. Ben Whishaw is just brilliant, especially with his trademarked double blink after the Paddington reference. Rory Kinnear's tiny cameo also made me smile. It always disappoints me when Craig proves yet again how well he can do humour, that people go on about him being 'dour'.
Given Walliams's oft noted admiration for the series and him being pictured behind the scenes, I'm guessing he was responsible for the writing of the sketch. I'm not a fan of his by a long chalk, but it is nice that he decided to go with a joke that would have a little extra resonance for the die hard fans - since every Bond Film until Diamonds Are Forever features a major use of the gag in question.
It's not an essential DVD extra, but it's certainly worthy of inclusion if they feel like popping it on the SPECTRE release.

Walliams wrote it with a team called the Dawson Brothers, I think he was also the voice over to the sketch.
