- The cast from The Bill perform The Blues Brothers.
- Children's Masterchef.
- Appeal messages from a host of celebrities, including Stevie Wonder, Jack Black and The Osbournes.
- And, of course a very special, live performance by the BBC newsreaders.
The programme will also feature broadcasts from around the UK, as BBC presenters join their local communities to catch up with some energetic and creative fundraising exploits.
This year the fundraising theme is Do Something Different, and all those who step up to the challenge, or pick up the phone to pledge money for the BBC Children in Need appeal, will be part of a huge community of supporters that make a huge difference to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.
One reason for Doctor Who fans to tune in is to watch the pre-titled sequence of this year's Christmas special, The Next Doctor. Children around the UK are living in poverty, could you help them?
