Now for the Cast of Hollyoaks singing "Get You".

Stop spewing erroneous info, Tumble! It's actually "Forget You", as made famous by a Mr Cee Lo Green

Thanks for correcting me. Going by the sound of it I wasn't 100% sure whether it was "Get You" or "Forget You". The "for" part of "forget" was barely audible.


Do you know what it was originally before that radio friendly version was made?

You could tell him but it'd be Tommy rot to him.

Thank you cast of Crazy for such a superb musical performance with great dance routine, who could ask for anything more?

Latest total just after midnight £22,207,844. I'm sure they've beaten the highest end-of-night total on record now. Any chance of hitting £25 million by 2am?

Any it's now gone midnight, and I'm off to bed. Goodnight.

£22m - amazing total and still two hours to go...

What recession?!

Shame The Voice of the Balls isn't on live tonight like he usually is.


Also by the looks of it they're also including pledges in this years running total and not just straight donations.. something I'm sure they didn't use to do before. Must be in response to last years disappointing shows end total, and must be what's bumping up the total this year.

Good night, Tumble Tower. I'm off to bed now too, although I'll probably listen to Vanessa Feltz for a bit before I close my eyes.

You say that, but prior to crossing onto BBC Two, they must have been running out of time, as his voice came into the studio and said 'I think its time for a total', it's missing deadly reading the total as the presenters saying it an be washed out by the audience noise.

All in all a good night of fundraising, a few good bits on including Alan sugar v dragons den, vic & bob with dynamo, buzzcocks & the outnumbered skit.

And, to clarify for Tumble Tower, that amount isn't a factorial, and therefore isn't £10^(10^8.264730042935872); the exclamation mark is a mere representation of excitement.

LOL. Thanks everyone for the regular updates.

Didn't get to see any of CIN at all, but TVF's coverage was, in fact, a whole lot more entertaining than CIN ever was.

In fact, maybe five of us could go on next year and do a dance from Chicago? Any volunteers?
