A much better effort from BBC London this year. At Hyde Park instead of TVC with Wendy Hurrell and Mark Ashdown.

What times are the regional opts tonight?


Right now. God I wish I was in the North West. This and Midlands Today are dire in comparison!


Yes boys & girls, here in the West Midlands we've got Joanne Malin(ex of Central News & now BBC WM!) & Ben Rich the weatherman, live from Aston Hall in North Brum!

(Still could be worse, all the local radio stations have got Vanessa Feltz networked between 10 & 1 tonite!)

£4,364,411 so far. Well done so far. Can anyone remember how much the running total was circa 8pm last year or prior years?

What's is with the BBC, they have computerised Pudsey (again), they did it with the original, and now with this, last years affect was better, but not liking it.

No. I've had several sleeps & several pints of cider since then!

So The One Show was basically them trying to make Matt Baker into David Walliams. I'm not sure at all about these big celeb led stunts for Comic Relief, Sport Relief and Children in Need - seems to have taken the emphasis away from the general public doing their bit when it comes to fundraising.

I get what you're saying re: Walliams. What he's raised is wonderful and I wouldn't wish to take that away from him, but sometimes it seems, er.. a little self indulgent (if you can consider swallowing Thames water in such a way).

But Matt Baker has something so completely charming and humble about him that I think it worked great.

All? Last year WM and others opted out.
