This clip from a BBC Children in Need special features a lively TV duet parody of Rita Ora's hit track R.I.P. performed during a game show segment titled Round Two: The Duet. The act opens at 00:00 with the singer in a sharp suit delivering the dramatic pop opening while his partner lies face down on stage before dramatically rising at 00:03. Sitting just off to the side, watching and laughing, are broadcast legend Sir Terry Wogan and rapper Tinie Tempah, who performed on the original song.
At 00:28, the second performer—wearing a patterned shirt, cap, and glasses as an affectionate caricature of Tinie Tempah—takes over the stage to launch into the rap verse with exaggerated moves and tons of energy. The lead singer rejoins at 00:57 for the pre-chorus sequence ("Put 'em on, switch it up, put 'em on, zip it up"), striking melodramatic poses before the pair come together for a hilarious climax at 01:22, sinking to their knees and collapsing onto the stage floor as the song finishes.
It is a great piece of television comedy that strikes a nice balance between real musical commitment and complete camp fun. Having Tinie Tempah himself sitting right there and genuinely enjoying the lighthearted take on his own verse adds an extra layer of charm to the clip.
