So, how many old Pudseys vs New Pudseys have we seen so far tonight?
You'd think seeing as this is the second year of the new Pudsey they'd have more people in the new costume.
There were people collecting with buckets at Liverpool Street and Paddington stations this evening - and an old Pudsey at Paddington!
Do we know whether the Pudsey costumes are kept by the BBC or the people who actually wear them? I'm sure if they were kept by the BBC they'd all have been swapped for the newer Pudsey.

Can you remember when Chris Evans gave a way a million pounds to a listen to Virgin Radio who won a quiz (as he did on his TV show)?.
Well, Russ Williams revealed on the final day of Virgin Radio that he gave the runner up a cheque for £100,000 which was never revealed till that day.
It was nice of him, considering he was not getting anything out of it!
Nowadays that kind of generosity probably would result in accusations of "fix" and an OFCOM inquiry!
Pretty sure Chris Evans gave £1m to Comic Relief a few years back (possibly when TFI was still around). I think he pledged to match whatever was pledged during his slot (up to a limit of course!)

Very convenient - waiting until they get a cheque for £2million from Radio 2 until they unveil the first "total". It was mentioned Chris Evans contributed out of his own pocket to round the figure out.

Although he does seem to be the only one really on the ball tonight (another one of my excused puns) interrupting Wogan with the total at a "bumbling" moment.

I wish they wouldn't use Alan Dedicoat as the voiceover. I always think he is about to give us one of his famous time checks or read out the Dream Number results

Well, if it's him or Peter Dickson I think it's the better of two evils.
Whatever happened to "Mitch" from Live and Kicking - didn't he do Children in Need at one point?
