An extended Love Actually reunion trailer has landed and we can't even deal.

Anticipation has been building for Red Nose Day Actually since a short film sequel to the hit 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually was announced.

And just when we thought we couldn’t get more excited – a second, longer trailer has been released ahead of the 10-minute special, which is set to air in the UK on Red Nose Day, Friday 24 March.

Building on the first nostalgia-filled teaser-trailer, most of the original film’s leading actors join love-lorn Mark (Andrew Lincoln) in flashing cards to send fans a hilarious message.

"ACTUALLY, no, I still communicate exclusively with signs."

Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rowan Atkinson, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Olivia Olson, Hugh Grant, Lucia Moniz, and Bill Nighy all appear, while Emma Thompson and Colin Firth (and the late Alan Rickman) were notably absent from the clip.

The stars let us know the real reason for the sequel-of-sorts - to find out who has aged the best.

Red Nose Day Actually will screen during live televised special, Comic Relief, charity event to raise money for research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

It will air in the UK on BBC One after 7pm - that's 6am Saturday, 25 March for Aussies on the east coast.

We can only hope that the film is promptly made available to us non-UK folk through the magic of the internet.
