Children in need.

[Kurt.]

Sooooooo... It's ace.... It's fantastic... It gets money to the people who need it most.... But........ The hosts, the guests, the organising, all that goes with it..... I'm gonna be honest, times are tough.... I don't like millionaires on the telly telling me to dig deep. If the top 30 richest people in the uk donated 1 million each ...job done ..... Are they gonna miss 1 million out of their vast fortunes.... Anyway, I'm going to bed.

The top 30 richest people in the world could solve world hunger overnight and it wouldnt even leave a dent in their bank accounts.

Wogan gets paid to do it.

I'd be amazed if Gary Barlow didn't stump up a few quid for the hospice he was at tonight..

Here's something to get your chops around.

The BBC spent 58m in 2011 on severance payments to their fatcat bosses.

Now they're asking skint Britain to put their hands in their pockets to fund their charity.

Don't get me wrong, I think charity is fantastic and Children in Need helps thousands of kids and families, but the money that corporation wastes year after year after year...

 

[BlueLlama]

Dont watch it exacly because of that stuff

 

[Clint Planet]

There are children in need? in 2013? So much so that we need a telethon about them?

For feck's sake.

Vile, if you only think about it.

 

[coollino]

Too much PR. I saw 5 mines where One Direction were appealing, all saying half a sentence each with 'sorrow', so contrived.

 

[noharmdone]

I've text donated a tenner like...

There by the grace of god..

 

[Cena]

I hate Gary Barlow

He's an ex fat lad..
Give him credit, must have been tough as a kid..
I'm a new fat lad.. It's much easier..

 

[ricardobee]

I've heard that Stuart Hall is pulling out of children in need

is always nice to see a tax evader telling you to give money
