Hey BG, It could be worse. Do you remember ITV's Telephons for the late 80's, early 90's with Michael Aspel? Over 24 hours of continuous fundraising tv, let alone the 6 or 7 hours Children in need broadcasts!!
I've watched Children in need evenings over the years but you'll never be able to replace Sir Terry Wogan who for me, was the face and voice of Children in need over many, many years. He and Gaby Roslin ( to me ) made the event worth watching.
