Pudsey's Big Welsh Party BBC Children in Need

# We're here in Swansea, at Pudsey's Big Welsh Party.

# And I'm Wynne Evans to get the party started

# So much Welsh talent from across the nation

# And all we're asking for is your kind donation

# And Jodi Bird will be taking flight.

# The Baby Queens, they're all agreed to help raise cash

Yes, hello and welcome to Pudsey's Big Welsh Party,

coming from the Great Hall at Swansea University!

We have a great show for you tonight,

and the first of our brilliant guests is a group of

unlikely lads who have only gone and bagged themselves

a residency on the strip in Las Vegas ? ladies

and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's Tenors of Rock!

# There's a lady who knows # All that glitters is gold

# And she's buying a stairway to heaven

# When she gets there, she knows # If the stores are all closed

# With a word she can get what she came for

# # And she's buying a stairway to

heaven # And she's buying a stairway to

heaven # Baby I ain't fooling

# I'll have to send you back to school

# Way down inside I'm going to give you my love

# Want a whole lot of love # Want a whole lot of love

# Yeah, yeah, yeah # Want a whole lot of love

# Still got a whole lot of love # I'm here to say

# Let loose # People looking to the stars

# Each and every one of ours is running wild

# Yeah, yeah, yeah # Want a whole lot of love #. Thank

you. Gareth, tell us about this

Las Vegas booking. We've been going back to Vegas a few

times, and we got the attention of some bookers. We got a phone call

when we were in Manila. Only two other Welsh acts have done this,

Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones. We cannot really believe it. Tom is a

legend out there. Five is great, but six would be better, wouldn't it?

Yeah! Let's do it. Thank you very much to the Tenors of Rock. You can

donate ?10 by your mobile to Children in Need. We have to tell

you the terms and conditions. Tonight, we have to sing the terms

of conditions to you to make it more interesting.

# Texts will cost your donation, plus your standard network message

charge # And all of your donations

# Will go to BBC Children in Need # You must be 16 or over

# And please ask the bill payer's permission

# For more information # And for terms and conditions

# Go to our website # Please donate your money today #.

Never have I been so interested in the terms and conditions. We will be

hearing more from Jodie later on. Now, throughout the show we'll

have our pick of the best of last night's fundraising extravaganza

on BBC One. First up is this performance

from Little Mix. Welcome to Haringey Shed,

one of the amazing projects funded Today, the children think they're

here to rehearse our version They just think it's

an ordinary rehearsal, but they're in fact in for a little

bit of a Little Mix surprise. Whilst the children are going

through their warm-ups, unbeknown to them, we'll be

watching their every move. We've put a team of workmen

in disguise in the studio to really throw them

off the scent. And the staff and all the volunteers

are all involved. All right, ready,

Terry, thanks, mate. Sorry, we're just trying

to do one chorus. # All the girls

on the block knocking at my door # Want to know what it is

make the boys want more # All the girls on the block

knocking at my door # Want to know what it is

make the boys want more # And it's called

Black Magic... # I was, like, oh, my gosh! I can't

believe Little Mix were here. And it's like my dream world has

come true. We wanted to come down here and see

what everyone does So, what sort of activities

do you do here? We do acting, singing,

and playing instruments. So what would you guys

say is the best thing If you mostly come

here all the time, It was really amazing

when they just popped out of there because we never

knew they were there. Little Mix were burst out,

I was actually crying. It was the best day

I've ever had, ever. Now, one of the big highlights

of every Children in Need is where choirs from around the UK

all sing together to help raise This year was no exception,

and I went along to one of the local Swansea schools as they rehearsed

for this year's song. So I've come to this primary school

to find out how rehearsals have been going. We asked some of the kids

hear what they think of Children in Need. Let's get this choir into

shape! I want you just clap. One, two, three, four. So what is

Children in Need all about? To help children that are in need, and that

need help with some things. Yes? It just helps other children get a

better life. Can't argue with that. What have you been up to this week?

Trying to get lots of money. Now time to pass on some of my many

years of musical training. Don't show that bit! What is it like being

in the choir? It's really fun being in the choir, because I like

singing. Not everyone gets to do this. I might get a bit nervous. I

don't think I'm going to be nervous, because I will be singing with other

people. Singing is great. We will be superb in Swansea. We are going to

be the best. Why is Children in Need so good? Pudsey Bear. We are

donating money and it is a special day. I really, really love Children

in Need, because you are helping people by raising money. And we will

be seeing the full song with the massed UK choir later on.

Plus we've got magician and Britain's Got Talent

winner Richard Jones, more of the best bits from last

night's show and also lots of homegrown Welsh talent,

all helping us raise as much money as we can for Children in Need.

And talking of Welsh talent ? time for some music now from a band

They have a bit of a gender imbalance going on -

there are five girls and one boy in this band ? is that allowed?

Of course it is, please give a big welcome to Baby Queens!

# Thinking the ways that I can break it to you

# This love's overdue, gotta be honest with you

# I wish my mind would feel the way my heart feels

# This emotional attachment is so real

# This predicament is one big mystery

# This predicament is one big mystery

They are brilliant, thanks so much for joining us in Swansea tonight.

Last night, of course, was the big Children in Need show

from Elstree, and here's one of my highlights.

Keeping the Welsh connection going, Rob Brydon was in the chair for one

of my favourite shows. Good evening and welcome

to a very special edition of Would I Lie To You

for Children In Need. On Lee Mack's team tonight,

ten-year-old unicorn And 11-year-old football mad

Jack from Wrexham. And on David Mitchell's team

tonight, nine-year-old self-confessed tomboy

Zara from Nottingham. And nine-year-old aspiring inventor

Adit from Harrow. This is the autograph I got

from Lee Mack after I accidentally Now, Lee, maybe you could read to us

what it was that you wrote It certainly sounds like the sort

of joke you'd to try to make. So where did this happen,

Kitty? It was in a Waitrose

cafe. Very working class

and down-to-earth. Could you change that

to ASDA or Lidl? Lee Mack was in a Waitrose cafe

having a pheasant wrap? I wanted to get his attention,

so I walked over. Why didn't you want to

meet her again? Why did you wish

you'd never met her? I think it was to do

with the scalding pain in my legs. So, what do you think

then, David's team? I don't think you would

write on a napkin. OK, right, Kitty,

truth or lie? I can play a TV theme tune

on the thing Rob is about to I tell you what, this

is going to be interesting. I mean, first of all,

what is it? Well, I don't know,

you're so small, Rob, It could be something

you find in a Kinder Egg. Well, you tell us,

you know what it is, Adit. It's not a trumpet, it's not

a trumpet. You say you play the theme tune

to a television show? That's a good question,

which show? I can't really remember

the other ones. You see, now we're in this tricky

situation, aren't we, because if we ask him to play it

and he's telling the truth, he will deliberately not be able

to play it, won't he, to trick us. I think if we just discuss it,

and then if it's true, Adit will play the tune,

and if it's not true, You think it's true and he's

pretending he didn't know what kind of instrument

it was? I'm going with Jack

and saying it's true. You are watching Pudsey's Big Welsh

Party. from the Great Hall

in Swansea University! Been busy raising

money for Children in Need - and this next

film is just one example of where that money

is spent in Wales - it's a This is Cwmparc at the end of the

Rhonda Valley. There's one road in and the same road out. Like many

parts of the valleys it's a former mining town with a strong sense of

community. And one of the focal points of this community is Alison

House, a former old people centre which for 15 years has been a safe

centre for young people to come, played learn and have fun. And this

place wouldn't be here without Children in Need. Ask almost anyone

in Cwmparc and they will know Beth Williams. She is the driving force

behind Alison house and she is like a second mother to lots of these

young people here. Bev's everything, you can always trust her. Awarded to

diesel Fisher for outstanding performance in the challenges. She's

such an easy person to get on with. She's loyal, respectful, and

anything you need, just ask and she will help you. Terry came here as a

teenager and Bev stuck with him through some tricky times. From the

ups and downs, from turning 18, I decided to go on the wrong path but

I was fortunate enough to have somebody like Bev go out of her way

to say, come on, let's give you a boost. Bev asked Terry to volunteer

on a sent him on courses and sent him for interviews. He has a

full-time job working on the railway. When I look at Kerry I

think, look how well you've done. You had problems, look how well he

has done. You can see that there are ways out of things. I come back to

visit, I see the youngsters in my shoes five or ten years ago, helping

out and volunteering. You realise them how lucky you are to be able to

use a club like this. Hopefully the funding will carry on. And that's

the point. Without your donations, Alison house would shut and Bev

wouldn't be able to do what she does, helping children become adults

and showing them it is good to help others. We have kids here five years

old, sitting in the corner, don't know what to play with, don't know

what to do. The old ones will come along and take them under their wing

and that's fantastic. That's the best feeling in the world for me.

Best job in the world, I love it. This is so much more than a youth

club. It's a special place which, for 15 years, has been a vital part

of Cwmparc. When people are in the shop buying Pudsey Bear and things,

it's all coming to good causes like ours. You are helping causes like

ours, thank you very much. Perhaps we should leave the last word to

Diesel. It's fun, there are lots of things to do around here, it's the

best thing you can basically do. Here is the star of that film,

Diesel. What does Alison house mean to you? My childhood, all my

memories and everything. How crucial is the Children in Need funding? It

is crucial, we are in a deprived area and Children in Need has been

funding us for 20 years and without it we would not be able to run. Did

you enjoy seeing yourself in the film? Yes, and I was so proud of

everybody, especially Diesel. Absolutely brilliant.

Well, if you want to help projects like Alison House,

you can give ?10 right now by texting from your phone.

# If there is a load you have to bear

Well, I am sure you agree, our choir was amazing!

Let's take a look now at another highlight

from last night's big Children in Need show.

I couldn't have wished for anything better than this performance from

the cast of the West and's latest show, Aladdin.

# A whole new world # 100,000 things to see

# I'm like a shooting star # I've come so far

# I can't go back to where I used to be.

# A whole new world # With new horizons to see

# An chase them anywhere # There's time to spare

# Let me share this whole new world with you.

# A whole new world # I swear we'll be

# For you and me # You've got three wishes

# Master, you're in luck # Because up your sleeve

# The magic never fails # You've got some power in your

corner # You've got some punch, all you've

got to do is run that lamp # Mr Aladdin, Sir,

# What will your pleasure be # Let me take your order

# You've never had a friend like me # Come on, kid

# Listen up # Can your friends do this?

# Can your friends do that? # Can your friends do this?

# Can your friends do that? # Can your friends go, abracadabra?

# Somebody call me a taxi # And I'll take it home

# Come on! # Mr Aladdin's cave Sir

# You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend

# Never! # Had a friend like me!

# Never had a friend like me #. Now, we're in The Great Hall,

which is a brand new venue on the huge Swansea Bay campus

of Swansea University. And earlier on this week,

this very building hosted a night of comedy to help raise money

for BBC Children in Need. So I'm down here in Swansea for what

I've been promised is going to be a great night of comedy, but I will be

the judge of that. Let's check it out. Good evening and welcome. A

quick round of applause for Children in Need night! Come on, here we go.

Nice to be here. It was my birthday recently, and as a present, my

girlfriend got me a square box for the flat. And now, every time I say

a swear word, I have to spend the night at home. Have a walk down our

lovely canal system, and over the other side of the canal, I saw a

little baby seagull with a broken wing. I rang the RSPCA.

Unfortunately for me, I got through to the West Midlands switchboard,

which did nothing to the stereotype. I said, I'd like to report an

injured seagull. She said, you would like to report a ninja seagull? I'm

from a place called Chatham. I know it was the birthplace of the chavs,

because I was a chav. I used to get a bus in two BH have. I am not in

character. I always dress like this. It is not 1975. Putting it out there

early on, because when I did a gig from Llanelli, I freaked a lot of

the audience out. They thought I'd come from the future. We are taking

part in something called the one-liner challenge tonight. It

could change your life. Who is up for it? I'm here backstage with some

of the high-quality talent, and I've brought some of our guinea pigs with

us. Any advice for this lot before the one-liner challenge? Timing, and

don't worry about the audience. You cannot see them anyway. Just enjoy

yourself. If you enjoy yourself, they will. Two very different

styles. Do you feel confident? Absolutely. Let's unleashed the

Dragon. Welcome! What did the cheese say when it looked in The Mirror?

Pellu me! - Mac Halloumi. The other evening I

was in the kitchen washing up, when I picked up a saucer, and I happened

to glance at it. To my amazement, there was a group of spiders on it.

They were kicking around a very tiny football ball. One takes out a tiny

whistle, and he says, I've been watching you for a few minutes, and

that's not good enough. Remember, in two weeks, you are playing in the

cup! It was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. It wasn't too bad. A fun

experience. Hopefully get to make it on TV. Ladies and gentlemen, give it

up for them! And natural. Like Ross Noble, but more beautiful. Thank you

to everybody who took part, laughed, and paid to get in.

It was a great night of fundraising for Children in Need.

Now time for a performance from someone very special.

She first appeared on Britain's Got Talent,

Singing All Of Me, accompanied by our musical director,

# What would I do without your smart mouth?

# Drawing me in and you kicking me out

# What's going on in that beautiful mind?

# My head's under water but I'm breathing fine

# You're crazy and I'm out of my mind.

# Love your curves and all your edges

# How many times do I have to tell you?

# Even when you're crying you're beautiful too

# My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

# I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you

# My head's under water but I'm breathing fine

# You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

# Love your curves and all your edges

# Love your curves and all your edges

Thank you Jodi - what an amazing performance.

Acra how has life been since Britain's got talent? Life has been

great, Simon Cowell and I are still besties. And you have just done your

A-levels. They went well, I am so grateful. Plans for the future? Some

very exciting project up in London that I can't talk about. That's what

we love, projects in London that we talk about.

And you can still help us raise as much money as possible

And here with the terms and conditions, is Jodi!

Now we are in Swansea University, where earlier this week,

lots of students got involved with fundraising

Raising money for Children in Need, come on guys! Haircut, ?5.

Candyfloss, ?5. Thank you, have a nice day. I'm in my hometown of

Swansea, lots of fundraising going on. I am protecting icy conditions

later on. But first it into the warmth of the students nursery. How

cute are these fundraisers? Sponsored Kate, lots of colouring,

the children are wearing pyjamas. Where are your pyjamas? Mine are at

home. No pyjamas but she put something in the pot. Helping the

kids today. Or the sports science societies are playing their parts.

Go Swansea for Pudsey. Their kids have a special Pudsey twist. We've

got all the sports team in these socks, we are hoping to sell 1000 by

the end of the week to raise ?5,000 for Children in Need. I braved the

rain to meet the ultimate Frisbee team. Ultimately I'm pretty useless.

Great chance to give back to the community. We are really keen on

raising money for children. These Pudsey Sox are a cool way of doing

that. Children in Need mean Strictly and the dance Society have laid

their parts. We did a Strictly Come Dancing event, we had a winner at

being of the night. How much did you raise? ?474. After such an

impressive effort from all, those icy conditions are now unavoidable!

This is for Pudsey after all. If you can't beat them, join them!

This year we were reminded of the incredible support Terry Wogan gave

to Children in Need. I picked this performance from take that as my

highlight. # You, you're such a big star to me

# You're everything I wanna be # But you're stuck in a hole

and I want you to get out # But I know it's time

for you to leave # We're

all just pushing along # Trying to figure it out,

out, out # All your anticipation

pulls you down # When you can have

it all, you can have it all # So come on, come on,

get it on # Don't know what you're

waiting for # Your time is coming

don't be late, hey hey # Stop being so hard

on yourself # It's not good

for your health # I know that

you can change # So clear your head

and come round # You only have

to open your eyes # You might just

get a big surprise # And you might want to smile,

smile, smile # So come on, come on,

get it on # Don't know what you're

waiting for # Your time is coming

don't be late, hey hey # You're all that matters

to me # So come on, come on,

get it on # Don't know what you're

waiting for # Your time is coming

don't be late, hey hey # You're all that matters

From the Albert Hall in London back to the great Hall in Swansea and my

chance to meet the reigning champion of Britain's got talent, magician

Richard Jones. Loads of things I did not know about

you, you only took magic two years ago, you still in the Army in the

cavalry? Yes, a lot of people assumed I left the army when I won

but I am still there. I took up magic when I joined the Army,

travelling the world, a lot of time on coaches and aeroplanes to learn

sleight of hand techniques. I have fast tracked the last few years.

Swansea will be your home over Christmas, you are doing a panto?

I'm really looking forward to the panto season, hoping to see as many

people are here tonight in December. What are you going to be, Aladdin or

something? I'm Merlin. Absolutely brilliant. At the grand Theatre?

Yes. I presume you are going to do some magic? Absolutely. I need to

macro volunteers. Can we have two volunteers from the audience? You,

madam. And you, Madam as well. Fantastic, give them a round of

applause as they come up. Thank you very much for joining us. If you

could join us on the sofa. Going to do a bit of mind reading. I've got

some books here. I'll give you the dictionary, and if you both take a

book. We will try to find a word at random. Would you mind saying stop?

Stops. Look at the page number we have stopped on and find it in your

books as quickly as possible. Quick as you can, find the page. I just

want you to remember the first word on the first line of the page for

me. You have both got a word locked in your mind. Now it all depends on

how well I can read people. I'm going to try it with yourself. Think

of your word, have you got one? Yeah. Good stuff. I don't know why,

but I'm getting a number. I'm getting a number. I don't know why.

Does that mean anything to you? Knows.

It's not a number plate or something. What is the word you are

thinking of? Design. This is a tough one but I'm going to try and put

this back with a big finish. You've got the dictionary in your hand. Can

you turn to page 88, quick as you can. Hopefully this will be a big

finish. You chose design. 88, there should be two columns, left and

right. Look down the left column, count down 12 words and tell us what

is that word? Am I allowed to show it to the camera? Go for it. Design.

Thank God. There we go. Wow. Wowee. Thank you, Cheers. Richard Jones,

thank you so much. Now it's time to see a film about a little boy called

Eli. Eli is for now. When he was born,

there was a high number of children born with downs. We had a network of

parents of children, and we started doing more activities together, and

then we eventually decided to form a hands up for downs. Just a few hours

after Eli was born, the doctor sat us round the table and said, we

think he's got down syndrome. For me, he was just my little boy. I

didn't mind that he had Down's syndrome, he was just my boy. You

find the things that are needed and required, and you think that if you

need it, you will get it on the NHS. But that is not how it works. We

started looking at services, and it is hard. So we started looking at

fundraising. Can you find? Without the Children in Need funding, our

children would not be accessing one-to-one speech and language

provision. It's just been amazing. To be able to join in with other

children and play games, important things like sentences, who is going

neck? Whose turn it is? Eli can join in. It is very rewarding them that

you are helping them to successfully join in conversations, and enjoy

communication. It's lovely to see that. Goodbye, Eli. And that is why

we are here. Seeing the difference

that your donations can make to young people like Eli,

it explains why we are all here tonight, and there's still time

to give money to help children You can give right now

by text or via the website. # To donate ?10, text

the word Donate to 70410 # Plus your standard network

message charge # And please ask

the bill payer's permission Now, we have a certain bear

who's desperate to join Gareth, can Pudsey have a go, too?

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, a very special

performance from Pudsey # I'm just another heart

in need of rescue # And I'm gonna hold on for

the rest of my days # Cos I know what it means

Whoa-oh-oh # To walk along

the lonely street of dreams # Goin' down the only

road I've ever known # Like a drifter I was

born to walk alone # Again

# If you wanna be a singer or play guitar

# Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far

# Cos it's never too late to work nine-to-five

# You can take a stand or you can compromise

# You can work real hard or just fantasise

# But you don't start living till you realise

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. The Tenors of Rock. We need

everybody on their feet, and hands in the air!

Because of you, Children in Need helps children across the UK. All

across the UK. From Scotland. To England. Wales. To Northern Ireland.

Because of you, help is never far away. Your parents are always there

for you, but she's someone else. She's very special. Because of you,

there is a bright future. Because of you, there is help in the toughest

times. I knew from that moment on that he would be OK. You have helped

children smile and laugh, even when life feels really hard. Children in

Need can make a difference, and it's all because of you. Any-macro thank

you. Thank you. You. Thank you. Well, we've come to the end of the

show. Thank you to everybody who has donated and supported Children in

Need. Thanks to Pudsey. Thanks to our hosts, Swansea University, and

to our artists, Tenors of Rock, Richard Jones, Baby Queens, and Jodi

Bird. Jodi is going to join me now and our choir to sing us out. From

Swansea, good night. # When I'm down

# And all my soul is so weary # When troubles come

# Then I am still # Right here in the silence

# Until you come and sit a while with me

# You raise me up so I can stand on mountains

# You raise me up # To walk on stormy seas

# I am strong when I am on your shoulder

# You raise me up # To more than I can be

# You raise me up so I can stand on mountains

# I am strong when I am on your shoulders

# I am strong when I am on your shoulders

And I'm so pleased to say, Wales raised a record breaking million.

Christine, what would you like to drink? Have you any white wine? Yes.

I'll have a large white wine, and a whisky and soda.

Make sure that chicken's cooked properly. I will.

I had a couple of peri-peri drummers when I was at that air show.
