CHILDREN IN NEED - 2012

And in other news............Kaye Adams is to stand-in for Jackie Bird in the Scottish end of things, whilst Jackie recovers from illness.

So, what are the newsreaders doing this year? Will it be Gangnam?

Not Gangnam. Bill Turnbull, Fiona Bruce and Sophie Raworth will be pitting their driving skills against each other in a special edition of Top Gear's 'Star in a reasonably price car'.

More on the line up here:

I thought it would have went to Catriona Shearer, she's the obvious choice imo.

In Local News for CIN Stuart White wont be presenting for the Look East Team.

Julia George on BBC South East.

Also, which region (if any) will BBC One HD take?

Wonder if West Midlands will have Joanne Malin, now she is technically freelance?

Joanne is presenting the Midlands opt from the Mailbox.

Presenting from the Public Space then. No money for an OB?

Laura Trant and Tony Husband on BBC South from Intech Science Centre in Winchester.

Riz Lateef on BBC London from the Tower of London.

Anne Davies on BBC East Midlands from Conkers.

Looks as if they've updated the set for this year according to some Children In Need tweets.

As tweeted by Alex Lovell, BBC West's team are Naomi Wilkinson, Mark Millar, Ben Prater and Martin Hughes-Games.
