You just know the Corrie sketch is going to be cringey, like last time. So will Birds of a Feather.

Not interested in Downton sketch either and not keen on Paddy and Alesha.

So that just leaves Phillips Shard piece and Ant and Dec...

Is any of it actually live as all I have read about it so far seems to be pre-recorded inserts.

sarahj1986 · 19/12/14 - 18:35

If I remember correctly the studio part was live with the features pre-recorde, abit like Comic relief is. I dare say they will do live total raised updates?

I can't remember seeing this last year so this is me guessing....

They really are spoiling us by having Paddy McGuinness a part of this

>:(

Piss taking roll call

LadyOfShalott · 19/12/14 - 20:08

Six very worthwhile charities but I'm sure the keyboard warriors who have no lives will sneer and snort....

Hope it does very well.

Have made my donation.

Truly amazing charities and I really hope they raise lots of money. Really enjoyed the last two years of Text Santa. The opening to this years though seems very poor and lack luster.
Compare it to last years opening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C83TZ7MVWJA

Not seen this before but so far it seems to just be a charity version of saturday night takeaway.

Summer Breeze · 19/12/14 - 20:11

Ha....found you all.

Loving Ant and Dec as ever here.

[Deleted User] · 19/12/14 - 20:12

She should throw boiling hot water on them for disturbing her

Fudd · 19/12/14 - 20:13

Evening all and thanks for the thread.

What would they have done if she'd just shut the door in their faces?

i noticed during Children in need that there were no ITV people involved, now i know why they were waiting to do their charity night

Lisa.B · 19/12/14 - 20:15

She didn't know what sprouts were. I despair! :eek:

mimicole · 19/12/14 - 20:17

We're watching

I love Ant & Dec

Fudd · 19/12/14 - 20:17

When Peter Andre looks in the mirror he sees an Iceland advert.

It's been the same over the past couple of years. Is this the third version of Text Santa?

[Deleted User] · 19/12/14 - 20:20

The camera's have to be a few miles back to fit Murs face on screen

Ollie_h19 · 19/12/14 - 20:24

Sort of watching. Not sure whats happening.

This seems like nitpicking.

CIN is awful - an unbelievably terrible programme that raises a lot of money for good causes, Why shouldn't ITV also raise money for good causes?

Straker · 19/12/14 - 20:25

When`s the Downtown bit on so I don`t have to sit through the rest of this?

owen10 · 19/12/14 - 20:36

I like Olly Murs I think he is great

The man is so fit.

Casper Gomez · 19/12/14 - 20:37

Ant & Dec are so overrated & so over used. Dec's a bit funny but Ant is not funny at all, Ant really has alot to thank Dec for imo.

Ollie_h19 · 19/12/14 - 20:38

The boyband in the Morrisons Sponsorship thing. Are they made up or something I should have heard of?
