Was 2009 the one where Terry finally admitted he gets paid - and has always got paid for presenting it?
It was in the news in 2007 that he was paid an honorarium for hosting the programme, and was the only celebrity to receive a payment (contrary to your assertion in another post). He had never negotiated the fee and had never asked for one, and always donated the fee back to Children in Need.
The fee was part of his overall BBC salary, and was never discussed with Terry or I believe his agent, it was all included in his package for hosting his Radio 2 show etc.
Let us rewind back to 2009, ten years a go and look at what Children in Need offered for their telethon night then.
Friday 20th November 2019 on BBC One:
Sir Terry Wogan, Tess Daly and Alesha Dixon hosted for the night - with the stars of Strictly opening the show.
A special edition of the magical series Merlin
A special edition of Casualty
The launch of the official Children in Need single by Peter Kay and "a host of famous faces"
The cast of Hollyoaks rock TV Centre with their tribute to Queen
A peek at the 2009 Dr Who Christmas Special, the final one for David Tennant
The One Show team perform the street dance from Fame
A special edition of Dragons Den
Westlife perform live in the studio
A special edition of Lark Rise to Candleford with Terry Wogan in it
The cast of The Bill perform a rat pack classic
Eastenders cast celebrate the Magic of Motown
BBC Newsreaders perform their special dance and music routine
All that was on before the BBC News at Ten
