BBC Begathon 2001

Yeah,I know it`s for a good cause and all that,I dont mind.

But it doesnt half make awful television! Bloody credit cards across the screen every 5 minutes,Gaby Roslin,irritating guests you`ve never heard of!And it drags on for oh so long!

I must say that it does make brilliant radio material, as BBC Local radio stations take part in charity events and stuff.

But I dare say that i`ll be taping the BBC Dance!

Stu

what BBC Dance?

See the thread about 'Jeremy Bowen's Dance' for info on that...

I have nothing against Children in Need but WHY TERRY WOGAN???????

Not funny at alll

Well Terry Wogan will have to stop doing it someday (eventually!) so who would you replace him with? And if you wanted a whole new pairing - who would you have?

Digital Cable and SKY digital can press red and donate through their TV. SKY is 15p per donation (in phone call charges- some of which goes to CIN) but cable is free of charge (apart from, of course the donation).

The reason you can't get rid of Terry Wogan is because... Children in Need was his idea. It's his baby. He openly says that he knows the BBC executives hate CIN, but haven't got the guts to get rid of him and Pudsey because of the publicity.

I don't think the BBC would tell Terry Wogan to bugger off of CIN if it is his own charity - otherwise he would leave the Beeb altogether and what would the general public think?

TW's here to stay...

So in 30 years we'll have to watch an aged Gaby Roslin next to the propped-up corpse of TW? aagghhh;)

Most probably, yes.

Im sick of all this Children in Need palava.

Why dont they launch BBC STUDENTS in NEED!!!

I think Terry Wogan is best at doing 'Auntie's Bloomers' and also 'Wake Up To Wogan' on weekday mornings of Radio 2.

I thought CiN was going to be 75 next year (since it first started on BBC Radio).

Blimey, that young Terry Wogan had some good ideas...
