No they don't, as the B.B.C. stated in their letter. Fact.
The employees who don't 'appear' in the show, such as producers, researchers, electricans, wardrobe assistants, etc. etc., will be paid.
For seven hours of television it may be the case that the production costs are actually less than that of a normal Friday's television.
After all Jonathon Ross gets paid £6 million per year, which when costed out per hour, which is Friday night show was, and taking into account his other B.B.C. shows, works out very costly. Plus there's the fees for his Four Puffs, hospitality and fees for his guests, and there's still another six hours to account for.
Children in Need might actually be a cheap night for the Beeb. It certainly looks cheap.
