Soon after, he was commissioned to make a series of short films for the BBC Comedy website, all of which are now available to see on the BBC\u2019s YouTube channel. In 2011, Misery Bear appeared in a Comic Relief video with Kate Moss which was broadcast on BBC1 for Red Nose Day. <\/p>\n

Since then he has starred in videos for Sport Relief, Amnesty International and Children in Need, as well as penning his first ever book, Misery Bear\u2019s Guide to Love & Heartbreak<\/strong>, see picture below, which was published by Hodder & Stoughton on October 13th, 2011. <\/p>\n
