The first Comic Relief record to reach number one in the UK singles chart was "Living Doll" in 1986. The song was a version of Cliff Richard and The Shadows' 1959 number one hit "Living Doll", recorded when the band were called The Drifters. Cliff Richard, The Shadows and band member Hank B. Marvin have had had many hits in their own rights, including numerous number ones, while "The Young Ones" cast members Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer have made other chart appearances as part of their spoof band Bad News (with Peter Richardson). In addition to these hits, Planer also had a number two hit as his "Young Ones" character 'Neil' in 1984. Actor Christopher Ryan was the only member of "The Young Ones" (featured on the record) who did not feature on any other chart entries, whilst missing cast member Alexei Sayle had a hit two years earlier with "'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?". Even though Gallup didn't credit Comic Relief's involvement on this record, the follow-up ("Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree") has gone into the Official Chart Company's database as being by Comic Relief Presents Mel & Kim Performed By Kim Wilde & Mel Smith.
