Children in Need - anyone watching?

[Petalflowers]

The Doctor Who segment was very sweet.

DH and I just switched on the TV for HIGNFY - joint groan at realising this was on instead! I wish them well, but I'd donate more money not to have this on TV.

Shane's had a haircut and lost his beard!! 😂 😂

It's not been great so far has it? 😕

Tess looks beautiful today

Maybe that's it Elderflower, he's starting to act like a grown up and look his age! The other 3 don't look like they've changed a bit but Shane looks different.

I'm watching. CIN have done a lot for 3 of my dc over the years. I missed the first bit though, ds1 and ds2 were both having a meltdown because I won't let them watch until the very end. They are allowed to watch until the news comes on which they think is very unreasonable of me.

I thought Tess looked nice as well.

It’s like someone turned on a light switch when Graham and Mel took over!!! I did love Ade’s suit though.

Not sure about jo wileys outfit...

As soon as that Mel woman came on turned it off. She is deadful, so full of herself and not funny at all

Terry Wogan so missed, just not the same.

Tess Daly? Really?

Children's choir - poor song choice.

Don't watch Eastenders but they were fab. Brilliant song choices, makes all the difference.

CIN help fund the drama group that ds2 attends. Its an inclusive group for mainstream and special needs young people.

Loved terry Wigan
Refused to ever have Jimmy Saville on the programme
Wise man

I'm sitting in a call centre in Sussex taking donation calls

Its a lovely atmosphere, but this year we cannot see the show so it's a bit weird

This poor family... Such heartbreak.... 😪 😪 😪 😪 😪

@Sussexbonfireviking. Why can't you watch??

The EastEnders girl who was Belle has a lovely voice. I think they spoilt that segment a bit by so obviously having recorded the songs in studio. The sound is different and wasn't remotely synced with lips.

The One Show bit was hilarious! Did it go out live? I saw a clip earlier that wasn't in that segment - would love to see the full thing. Alex Jones was hilarious and I did think the two actors worked things in pretty well.

I'm bringing my boy in my bed tonight and I'm going to cuddle him tighter than I have before. These stories are just utterly heartbreaking I'm a mess just watching them

So far my son has been reminding me how disabled he is and berating me for not getting him to meet Dr Who 😂

Didn't like School of Rock; the rest is standard fundraising fare surely? Do t mind it, does a lot of good.

@Elderflower14
We have screens up, but the feed is not working
We are just normal office workers, plugged into a phone, I'm a data analyst!! I don't normally actually talk to the general public

@Noeuf love it, your son sounds like mine. He would love to be on children in need.

Shane Lynch's beard is back! That grew quickly in 2 hours. Presume the Strictly segment was filmed weeks ago. Very weird for continuity though!

Shane seems quite intense

Is Shane yer man in the floral jacket? Very odd behaviour & the other 3 seemed to distance themselves from him.

Never watched it.
