You're going to Reading to avoid Children In Need??
So every charity appeal should be split amongst every charity?
Some might argue that the RBL should give to the DEC Ebola appeal.
It is more effective to target appeals at particular causes. One reason that I never buy lottery tickets is that I do not approve of some of the organisations they have given money to in the past.
I didn't say every appeal should be split between every charity, I was suggesting that after years of raising money for CIN the BBC should balance it by adopting some other charities. What is the logic of the RBL giving money to the Ebola Appeal ?
No need it is live from the Queen Vic
I don't think they're on it this year. Don't worry though - you can get your fix as they'll be on XF and Graham Norton at the end of the month. Lucky you!:D:D
Hey - Norton's not one who's shy of asking touchy questions - I wonder if he'll mention the tax thing?
Children in Need has operated successfully for many years by guaranteeing the money goes to children's charities in the UK. You suggested that they change their whole policy which would probably need changes of their charities registration etc. I just pointed out that it was just as crazy to suggest that RBL should give to other unrelated deserving causes.
Children in Need work by giving to many charities, often small local ones where quite small sums can be crucial. So they are already supporting other charities but all UK ones associated with children.
Other broadcasters can run their own charity appeals with a broader range of charities if they wish.
Oh good I thought they would be on The X Factor at some point
It is only on BBC 2 from 10pm - 10.35pm

You and me alike
BBC continuing to promote Nick Grimshaw for reasons best known to themselves
Yes, I'm sure all the children's charities who benefit would easily be able to find the £50m they would lose by having the money diverted to any other cause, let alone one which has already grossed tens of millions of pounds over the last few weeks.
Did you think this through properly?
Looking forward to Gareth Malone's All Star Choir and S Club 7.
Cheryl Cole will be miming I heard, so another reason to watch another channel
I think Cheryl singing live is a better reason. ;-)
