The best news we've heard ever ever ever in our lives was delivered to us in the form of an IMMINENT LOVE ACTUALLY SEQUEL earlier this month.

It may only be a ten-minute short film, but will still feature most of the characters from the first film so we're STILL EXCITED.

It's going to be called Red Nose Actually, and will be shown as part of Red Nose Day 2017, Friday 24th March on BBC One.

It will feature Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Colin Firth, Lucia Moniz, Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Olivia Olson, Bill Nighy, Marcus Brigstocke, and Rowan Atkinson.

And it looks like the last name of the list might have a brand new job in the sequel (before he worked on a jewellery stand in a department store wrapping up presents for mistresses and the like), as new pictures of him have emerged on set.

It looks like he works in Sainsbury's!

LOOK!

We're so excited!

This comes after Emma Thompson revealed the sad reason she wouldn't be in the sequel, telling PA it was too soon after the death of co-star Alan Rickman.

"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.

"We thought and thought but it just seemed wrong but to revisit the wonderful fun characters of Bill Nighy and Hugh Grant and Liam (Neeson) and all of that, that's fantastic but obviously what would he have done?"

Writer and director Richard Curtis also recently described how it would be complicated to deal with Alan's death in the film, and admitted that there wasn't time to look into all characters' lives.

"You know dealing with Alan is very complicated so not really," he told PA. "We're not doing everyone. We're doing about two thirds of people."
