Latest total £8,911,090. Not bad for just after 9pm I suppose.

Well done to the kids from Outnumbered with their first class performance of "Hey hey we're the Monkees". All those different costumes, including pirates and a fairy.

They bounced on Spacehoppers and one even jumped on a pogo stick. Well done them. The only bit missing was time in a ball pit, but you can't have it all I suppose.


It's the big one that I feel sorry for. He is [checks wikipedia] 15 years old but is still billed as [one of] 'the kids from Outnumbered'. He is practically a fully grown man with facial hair. I suppose it is all paid work, apart from the bits that aren't like maybe The Monkees routine from tonight. I bet he feels like a proper nana doing all the mucking about with the kids. I expect he would have preferred to sing a medley of The Beatles songs with Hugh Dennis and that woman instead of dressing up like a goon.

I bet The Inbetweeners bully him.

What an odd thing to say.

If it were true, it would be merely out of jealousy because Outnumbered is 100 times the comedy that The Inbetweeners "ooh, sex" is.

Now for the cast of EastEnders to do their bit, like they always do. This year they're singing Queen songs.

I'm very dubious of how accurate and truthful these totals are; does anyone know how exactly these are calculated and what money is included?

Is TT audio description optional?

Now another regional split.

I'm seeing the South version, from Beaulieu.

Someone swam in the sea in Bognor Regis in pyjamas, what an odd thing to do to raise money for CIN.

What is the sustaining feed for the regional opts? What are BBC One HD showing?

Whenever we go back to London, we seem to hear the end of a Rock and/or Roll song. Where is this coming from? Is that the London opt?

They could jump in a ball pit instead maybe?

This is pretty annoying switching from BBC One HD to BBC One. At least ITV1 have HD regions.

BBC One HD are on London thankfully so I can watch this rather than the Midlands.
