Here we are again, at the climax of Children in need, it's Friday, Sir Terence will yet again be encouraging people to make complete fools of themselves all in the aid of Charity.


Now hang on, before you start sharpening your axes in preparation to cut me down to size, let me first of all state, I am all for helping children.

However this year will be the same as last year and all the years back to the beginning of this farce.

spoken with that cheeky little lilt of his Sir Terry will be cajoling us all to beat the amount we donated last year, get out your credit cards and pay until it hurts, lets make this a great amount that we need.

Why do we need it? Children are still starving in Africa, children are still dying of neglect here, it's not more money we need,


It's, more compassion, more care, more love.

Yes I do agree, let's make this a record breaking year for 'Children In Need', let's all actually give a damn!

Think that says it all Less, karma on its way
 
I agree with whats been said about helping the children,
but how much of the money collected, actually gets to them,
what with all the bribes and backhanders, tyrants loading their
pockets, bigshots administering the funds, armed insurgents
creating road blocks, and looting supplies, etc etc.

Retlaw.
 
I can't feel quite the same about it since I learned that Mr Wogan gets paid for his charity stint.

Well that's two of us then,It also annoys me when millionaires use these events as a huge publicity stunt to swell their own album sales.
You can throw as much money as you like at Africa but it will not make one bit of difference.
History tells us that,Until they stop killing themselves there will be no end to the suffering.

Rant over.:hidewall::hidewall:

I totally agree, though I believe he doesn't charge them now the £9,065.00 fee that he's taken since 1980, but only after the matter became public, and the public outrage that ensued.

Think I must have been asleep cuz I didn't know he got paid. Good job my old man ain't still around, he'd be frothing, he just couldn't stand Wogan one little bit

Not according to the press, after the details were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

His co-hosts, Natasha Kaplinsky, Eamonn Holmes and Fearne Cotton etc., are, or have been employed by the B.B.C., and did the event for free.

I would suggest that you look a little more closely at the figure of £1.2m (quoted in the article above) which it costs to stage this garbage.

...and I would suggest you note the direct quote from the B.B.C., given in the form of a letter, after being forced to by the Information Commission, that says, and I quote, 'No other B.B.C. presenters or personalities were paid.';)
 
Garinda, please give us a breakdown of the the £1.2million. The BBC is an organisation that cannot even be trusted with allowing children to name a pet on it's flagship kiddies programme. Do you really think for one moment that payments are not being made to these celebrity employees? Get out of Ossy and into the real world.
 
If they see they need paying for a fund raising event like this, then they are not they type of person that should be hosting something like Children In Need

All BBC employees appearing in this event get paid. It is part of their contract.

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.:D
