Children In Need

[CrazyLea]

Everyone enjoying it so far??

I liked the Eastenders thing. And the Doctor Who thing. "Not many men can pull off a vegetable" haha.

I'm quite annoyed though, sometimes it goes to the Wales one, and we miss some stuff (like the Holby City thing for example!!! :(). But I'm just putting on BBC London sometimes when it's on the Wales ones.

Those who are in Wales, the newsreaders were funny weren't they :p.

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Recorded the Eastenders thing as I went to have a shower. Spice girls were alright, doctor who was good, dragon's den was good too!

[CrazyLea]

Oh yeah, Dragon's Den was good too. That 9 year old was cute, James I think?

Never seen Dragon's Den though lol.

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Yeah lol! I always wanted to watch Dragon's Den.. The first time I ever saw it was on Thursday I think it was, problem is it clashes with Eastenders! Jeez I wish I had sky+!!.. It's really good though!

The spice girls song has to be the worst CIN song ever. For those of you south of the Border who may not have seen it. Up in Scotland we had Runrig singing in support of the Scotland Football team tomorrow also it has been re-released as a single for CIN 10 ten times better than the Spice girls. Liked Dr Who and boyzone even if they still can't dance after all these years.

Im so annoyed had to work and now Im bak and Ive missed all the good bits

However I did my bit today and got sponsored and raised over £50, not bad for a last minute thing

Spice girls miming - great, then they follow with the wonderful Annie Lennox who shows what a real singer can do, she was fab.

[CrazyLea]

Yay, I'm pleased now :p. Someone uploaded the Holby City bit onto YouTube, so I just watched it. Sharon is awesome! And Nadine looked gorgeous :wub: :p.

[StarsOfCCTV]

That's fast!
Loved the Holby bit :p I knew Sharon had done some singing before but she was really good! They were all great actually :thumbsup:

Hollyoaks, good but..was the aim for..Sarah and Summer to wear as little as possible?! :lol: Summer's skirt (sorry dress) needed to be pulled down a bit :rolleyes:

Doctor Who and Eastenders was great. The outfits in Eastenders! :rotfl::thumbsup:

Newsreaders were funny, as always :p

I've stopped watching now because they're starting to repeat everything! :rolleyes:

[Katy]

Eastenders was funny, that must have taken ages. I just kept flicking like i usually do. I donm't rreally like Wogan.

My favourite was Boyzone, although who is the guy in the middle he is always the one i forget about. Is is Mickey.

[CrazyLea]

I think it's Mikey :hmm: I always forget him too :lol:.

The BBC's Children In Need appeal has raised a record-breaking £19 million for charity.

The 28th annual fundraiser had generated £19,089,771 by the end of last night's seven-hour broadcast, beating last year's 'on the night' figure of £18.3 million. This total will increase as more cash raised from fundraisers held across the country is donated to the appeal.

"We are overwhelmed by the response of the British public tonight and want to say a big thank you to all those who donated or Did Something Different for Pudsey," said David Ramsden, Chief Executive of BBC Children In Need.

"Even more money will pour in over the weeks and months ahead and we will now be looking for great projects around the UK that can make a real difference to young lives."

Last night's show saw the Spice Girls performing their new song 'Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)' from Los Angeles. Kylie Minogue, Annie Lennox, Westlife, the Sugababes and Leona Lewis also performed on the programme.

Meanwhile, BBC newsreaders Fiona Bruce, Dermot Murnaghan, Andrew Marr, Nicholas Owen, Bill Turnbull and Ben Brown gave a rendition of 'All That Jazz' from West End musical Chicago.

Donations for the 2006 appeal eventually topped £33 million.

Hang on were the spice girls not there?

[Abigail]

Hang on were the spice girls not there?

I don't know. They are in America at the moment preparing for their upcoming tour, I think they did a gig sometime yesterday which meant it would be a close shave to get back to London in time to perform.

It might have been pre-recorded, the article doesn't actually say they performed live.

[Chloe O'brien]

The spice girls were on early as they were in America. They sang (or should I say mimed) the CIN need song then they were back on later to sing "Stop right Now"

[Abi]

Boyzone really put the Spice Girls to shame, didn't they? :)

[Abigail]

They did. SG are all about how they look, they're not really bothered about what they sound like or if they sing live (IMO).

I liked the East Street thing :D Made me laugh.. from what I could hear of it (bf snoring in my ear grr).
I didn't see much of CIN last night (watching Wales draw :crying:). Shall have to catch up on iPlayer.. I quite liked the Loose Women and the News reporters were quite funny.

[Chloe O'brien]

I didn't see the point of having CIN in Wales, Belfast and Glasgow last night as we never seen much of the performances there. We had John Barrowman at the SECC. Usually we have about two hours or more of the scottish part of CIN with loads of guests this year it was all from London apart from the performances of Westlife, The Saturdays. I take it the beeb were wanting to save money and cut back on the number of locations they brodcast from. But why have other locations than from London if they are not using them. They should have just had London with Terry and Tess. Saying that I loved the Loose Women and the News readers.

Kym Marsh wasn't the only member of her family appearing in the 'Coronation Street' and 'EastEnders' crossover episode on Friday night (19.11.10).

The actress - who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap - travelled to Albert Square to film the one-off scenes for Children In Need alongside her mum, who got roped in as a cast extra.

She explained: "It was fun filming 'East Street', the 'Corrie' and 'EastEnders' crossover for last Friday's Children In Need. I went down to the 'EastEnders' studios with Beverley Callard (Liz McDonald), Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw), Jimmi Harkishin (Dev Patel) and Helen Worth (Gail McIntyre) and the cast were very welcoming.

"Did anybody spot my mum serving behind the counter in Minute Mart? They roped her in as an extra!"

Despite the scenes being fun to film, Kym admitted she wouldn't fancy her alter-ego's chances if she were to get involved in a fight with feisty 'EastEnders' barmaid Kat Moon.

She added to new! magazine: "I did a scene with Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie, who play Kat and Alfie

Moon, where Kat thought my character Michelle was after her man. I wouldn't like to put money on which of them would win in a fight!"
