No, not now you mentioned them :yawn:
What's wrong with them?
I think they will add some fire to the show!
Not Alesha i don't think...not sure about Cotton
You're right I just checked. Alesha didn't present but sang Radio. Fearne Cotton did the back stage stuff. It was Tess Daly presenting with Sir Terry last year.
I'd like to add some fire to Alesha Dixon and Fearne Cotton tbh
I'm not going out on Friday so I imagine I'll be watching, along with keeping up with the CIN thread on here. Last year it was hilarious with DS users taking the piss out of everything!
Haha, if the BBC simply pledged the money wasted on CIN instead of airing it they would smash all records for money raised in a Year.
you missed out Tess and Sir Terry
Yeah i know and Gaga is performing!
And no doubt the news readers will be dancing yet again yawnnnnnnnnn
The totals `raised` on the night include money already collected in the year before, plus what ever is pledged on the night.
Does some good, but to me, just one big `yawn fest`, so once again, off to Sky Movies.
Yes, those delusional, ageing trollops Reid, Raworth, Williams and Maitlis have been 'persuaded' to inflict themselves on us again.
As they do it every Children in Need it has none of the appeal for me that it did when I first saw it done on Morecombe & Wise's show over thirty years ago. It was seen as a "wow" with people thinking things like "I didn't know they had legs" and "oh look they have a sense of humour and are fun" . Now as you say, it's become an extremely tired and very very old idea. :yawn: But, I'm sure some people love it will come on to post that we who don't are grumps and have no sense of 'fun'.
Different year same old crap. Dont do anything different whatever you do, dont get Woss camped outside 10 / 11 Downing Street, or Roslin at the H of Commons or Evans / Moyles at the HQ of Tescos , Sainsburys , Asda , Morrisons , EDF , Eon , British Gas & the other cartels that could donate so much more , but are quite happy to use every tax loophole going.
I certainly will not as I agree with you and Doghouse Riley:)
I think you are mistaken, if you total up the whole cost to he BBC it will not be that far off, At a guess i would say they must spend 5million+ on the logistics and the celebs 'fees'
How many regional events are linked up around the country? (Meridian,Calendar etc etc) they are all paid for by the BBC.
You would be surprised how much it costs to put on CIN. It isn't a case of ringing Terry Wogan and decking out Studio 1 with a set and an audience!
And being the BBC i am sure they might have something in the archive they have produced that they could repeat instead for literally no cost.
Is not that where BBC2 Daytime is heading anyway?
For Perfect Day the performers all had to paid for contractual reasons so everyone got Musicians' Union minimum rate. I suspect that most would donate that to the appeal. Quite possible the same happens for the live programme though the Daily Mail will like to think they all get paid huge fees.
