Despite me being quite a fan, I still haven't heard Emma Bunton's new single for it ^_^

If there were actually any music shows on terrestrial TV you might have done. Oh well, people obviously don't want music anymore do they.

Saw the studio this morning and that looks pretty good - but it's the same old same old of people plugging records and newsreaders doing their bit for charity!

And Kaplinsky and Cotton one year was bad enough - but two is unforgiveable! If they want to raise alot why don't they pledge that they won't be back next year if they raise a record amount!

.. and of course for viewers in Northern Ireland that's not the case.

Expect a John Daly fest, with Spiral trying to sing with Sonya (it's so bad it's worth listing for amusement) and Hugo Duncan.... as a schoolgirl.

No Doctor Who? Boo.

Now that would be good ! I'd definately donate money. There hasnt been much promotion I feel for CIN this year and I didnt realise that Emma Bunton's song was for CIN until last week.

I think there is a karoke as well, dunno though but there was something on at Bar 7 last night at the Odyssey with Jackie Fullerton, so i assume it for cin

It's duets, a local "celebrity" with someone famous.

Famous obviously meaning Bradley from S Club 7 and that other bloke from Hear'Say.

Tony Christie's in it though...

I wonder how Jackie intends to ruin it this year.

I do love Jackie, she's fab, but she always ruins CIN with her shoddy opts.

Has Children in Need always been wall to wall musical acts?

No doubt Terry and his co-presenters will be reading from different hymn sheets as per usual

yeah, no mini episode but there are some links from the TARDIS with the doctor and martha.
