COMIC Relief came to town on Wednesday to film the promotional video for this year's extravaganza.

Producers wanted some where with a football stadium, shopping centre and rolling hills nearby and south Buckinghamshire fitted the bill.

The promotional video features Jonathan Ross having a dream that people can say Pants to Poverty, the catchphrase for this year's comic relief.

He is seen standing in the Blues' Adams Park revealing a pair of pants and then followed by hundreds of people.

The filming continues in the Octagon Centre where Jonathon is given a ride in a shopping trolley by a female police officer.

The video concludes with people coming together to form a giant pair of pants on the hills near Chalfont St Giles.

Only 100 extras were used in the scenes at Wycombe Wanderers' ground with digital technology used to make it seem as if the ground was full.

Producer Richard Holman, who thought up the mad-cap video, said it took three 14-hour days to shoot, which would normally cost around £100,000 to £150,000.

"Thanks to everyone's generosity, it has been made for hardly anything," he said.

The Octagon Centre also waived its normal fee for the special shooting for which centre manager Richard Paxton was praised by Ina Booth, the video's location manager. "Richard's been great to us," Ian said. "He's done everything he could to make everything run smoothly."

The video will be shown five weeks before Red Nose Day, which is on March 16
