Almost time for Bridge Over Troubled Water to be sung by regional children's choirs all around the country simultaneously.

Don't worry folks, I promise this will work perfectly, this sort of thing has been done before on CIN night many times before.

They're clearly reducing Wogan's role as the years go by, he gets a lot of support these days. Nowt wrong with him remaining the "face" of Children in Need as long as they're not relying on a man in his mid-70s to anchor 6... hours of live tv...

I notice Nick Grimshaw is down to do a bit later, does that mean Terry's heading off early or will they be using him in some other capacity?

Also - noticed they addressed the elephant in the room early on and got it out of the way (Savile scandal). Very nicely done.


I think Fearne is supposed to be going off at 10pm, what with her being pregnant. Having said that Tess Daly is billed to be presenting alongside Fearne and Terry, so it may have changed.

Wogan becomes more out of place as the years go on, Fearne delivers her links in a fast paced manner and then all momentum slams on the breaks as Terry takes an age to read the next line.

I assume all the choirs across the country are being linked back to TVC through the respective BBC regional news galleries? Certainly shows which regions have newer equipment with the picture quality of each link!

The PQ from Belfast was excellent watching on BBC1 London SD.

I think Wogan has got into his stride now... I sometimes forget that he's always had at least some huge gaps in his speech.

Now another regional split is under way.

Nice colourful ident this year. Had expected they'd just use one of the regulars with the pop-up Pudsey animation so, a bit of a surprise.

Well I don't think much of the official CIN single. To be quite frank, I thought Bridge Over Troubled Water was much better; it ought to have been the CIN single.

They said this CIN single is available to download. Will it also be out as a CD single?

Sounds like Cheryl's mic was turned down a lot.

First dodgy mic incident of the night?

(We should make a drinking game out of this!)
