The film’s director Richard Curtis brought back a sizeable portion of the cast for the ten-minute short, which showed how all the characters are doing in the present day.
If you didn’t catch it last night, here’s all that went down – as always, if you don’t want spoilers, do not progress past this gif.
This was a bit of a curveball – in a radio interview, Billy brags of bedding a Kardashian (he doesn’t know which one, however) and reveals that the long-suffering Joe died of a heart attack. Rude, Richard Curtis.

He’s still wearing a woolly turtleneck, and his Portuguese is still terrible. At the end of their segment, Aurélia reveals she’s pregnant with their fourth child.
Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and Joanna (Olivia Olson) are very serious about each other

You will remember that in the original it was Jump by the Pointer Sisters. But OF COURSE it’s Hotline Bling this time.
Martine McCutcheon pops up again as Natalie, and it appears that she and David are still very much together.
