BBC Children In Need aims to raise millions again
BBC's Children In Need has triumphed again - and looks set to beat last year's total of £37million.
Economically, these may be trickier times, but viewers have kept their faith Children In Need and dipped into their pockets generously. When the show ended, the total raised had reached £20,991,216.
Last year's event raised over £19 million on the night, with the final appeal total topping £37 million.
Host Terry Wogan described it as the "greatest" show to date. Viewers were treated to a special edition of Strictly Come Dancing and a preview of Doctor Who's Christmas episode too.
The biggest stars helped bring in the money for good causes. Take That, Girls Aloud, Boyzone and the casts of EastEnders and The Bill were among the stars who joined forces for last night's appeal.
