The spice girls, like Leona were also miming.

Westlife and Annie Lennox were live though as was David Gray. Ipersonally would pay good money to see Annie Lennox live, I think she is one of the most extraordiary female singers ever to appear on stage. She's just fab!!!

Great that so much money is being raised for worthy causes, however the whole thing is tainted for me since it was revealed that Sir Terry Wogan pockets a fee for tonight of £75,000, and has done since the charity was launched, even though all the other performers and presenters give their time for free.

The whole thing is a bit of a shambles. It's like watching Saturday night telly in the old East Germany.

After a very unfunny Hotel Babylon/Fawlty Towers scetch, Sir Tel asks Prunella Scales if she enjoyed reviving the role of Sybil Fawlty, to which she replied she'd forgoten what to say. Silence.

Still, lots of money for charity, and the lovely Fiona Bruce's legs looked great in the Chicago set.

OMG ..... Tony Blackburn is on it aswell ............... I don't fffffffluffing believe this. How weird, the 2 most annoying men together!! as i predicted... :(

Re: Children in Need
 

I thought Terry Wogan wasn't taking his fees for tonight.

Re: Children in Need
 

I hope so. Good to hear, though I think the fact that this was exposed earlier this year, and made public, may have something to do with his change of heart.

You have to feel sorry for Fern Cotton. Co-presenter of the show, not only having to work with some dementia stricken geriatric but she also gets last pick in the wardrobe department.

A re-united Boyzone was my favourite bit - at least until Stephen Gately started getting all hyper about it - bless him :)

Re: Children in Need
 

Him not being paid his seventy five grand fee this year, doesn't benefit the charity.

I suppose it allows him to stand there, not feeling guilty, amongst all the other performers who have given their time for free.

The BBC will probably just split the £75,000 between those other two underpaid presenters, Ross and Norton. :D

i was gobsmacked when i found out he got paid a whopping big fee,,,i always thought he did it for free:(:(:(
