[ChoochiWoo]

Apologies if late to the party couldn't see anything so i thought id make one...... just in time for strictly ...

Rya n's story just made me cry !

Yep me too. Just seeing that he returned home made me sob.

Oh no here comes the east enders nonsense. ..

And yes Ryan story very emotional

At the beginning i thought hed died ....hope all goes well to the family , bless him what a trooper

Is it me or did Greggs not raise that much?

Not sure I can watch this one

I liked the Eastenders story. The 'i love you' on the crossword was a lovely touch.

sniff

Yes eastenders better than I thought. Well I'm crying again.

Eastenders was fab I really enjoyed it. I'm look forward to s club 7

re picture, isn't that a young Chrissie Hynde?

Yes when is s club! Can't wait

ever since i read they have 9 million banked away I can no longer watch it, fuckers. so take peoples money..and invest it??? hopefully not in icesave equivalant

it is supposed to be a reserve to pay wages etc. which (on another thread) was suggested was the sensible and expected thing for such a large organisation to do.

Why is the singer from The Script wearing a breastfeeding top?

Is it true that Terry gets paid an obscene amount for presenting CIN? I'd always assumed that he did it for free, but according to people at work he's paid an absolute fortune.

Ooh Donny!

Who are Shane riches sons band then? Bit confused!

Liked Perfect Moment by Martine 'Tiff' McCutcheon playing in the background of Eastenders sketch.

This gets brought up every year. The fee for children in need is part of his general contract with the BBC I believe. It was back in 2009 or so when it came to attention and was worked out at about £1200 per hour of the show - however since this was made known TW did come out and state that he was unaware of this - probably never itemised I guess but who knows and since then he has deliberately and explicitly waived this fee and therefore receives no wage.

Who knows the full story but it would seem that at least for the last 5 years he has not been paid for this work.

I've got to go to bed I'm so tired! I'm going to miss s club 7!

Just to get this cleared up.

Children In Need = BBC charity

Daily Mail's Mission = Destroy BBC

Therefore: Daily Mail prints shit about Children In Need to discredit and bring about the downfall of the BBC.

Poppy Maths/logic part deux:

But if: Daily Mail = a pile of untrue wank (allegedly)

And maybe: BBC = on-the-whole-not-a-bad-thing

Then possibly: Children In Need = Lots of cash for good causes?
