What next? Someone sitting in a bath of baked beans!?

People have sat in baths of baked beans before to raise money for charity. A waste of baked beans really, who'd want to eat them after someone's been sitting in them?

I am enjoying this Dragons' Den sketch. I particularly liked the bit where Evan was standing at the bottom of the stairs with the microphone.

If this is meant to be the official Children In Need single 2011, I don't think much of it. It's a terrible song.

Worst charity single ever, most of them can't sing, can't see this getting to number 1. Rolling Eyes

It was a bit ... chavvy, was it not? A somewhat tuneless pile of ... meh!

Got the obligatory mic fail, on Tulisa this time. No-one around to throw her another one until after it finished and Terry seemed to think it was for him.

Nice of The One Show to make such use of the front of TVC, shame about the harsh cut into the main show.

Latest total £15,274,911 just before the 10 O'Clock News. Hopefully they'll have in excess of £20 million by 2am.

Now they're on BBC2 for half an hour.

Isn't the whole Susan Boyle joke wearing a little thin now?

What joke?


The whole man in drag singing out of tune thing. Dame Edna did it years ago. Yes, Dame Edna is a man!

I think, given the circumstances they could donate a bath tub full of baked means to a local orphanage and they would be very grateful for them, even if someone had sat in them, as long as said persons sexual organs hadn't made contact with the beans or juice (bloody political correctness).

Oh well, coverage is now back on BBC1. I'm now watching on BBC1 HD.
