Tony Blair’s appearance on a fundraising show has helped fuel the fastest-selling pre-order DVD ever on the Amazon website.
The PM left Catherine Tate’s character Lauren speechless when he stole her catchphrase "Am I bovvered?" for a Comic Relief segment.
The sketch is part of a special DVD which goes on sale on 16 April.
Ms Tate told the BBC that she admired the PM’s comic timing. "He is one of the finest comic actors of his generation,” she joked.
Describing her visit to Number 10 to record the sketch as "surreal", she added:
"It is a bit like a Tardis… it goes back and back. I wasn’t nervous because I don’t particularly get nervous. I’m too busy thinking about what I’ve got to say - but there was a sense of occasion about it. We were all thinking: ‘This is history’."
