0:00:02 > 0:00:05Good evening, and welcome to this extra special Children In Need night.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12For the past 30 years, Children In Need has raised
0:00:12 > 0:00:17a staggering £550 million for disadvantaged children in the UK.
0:00:17 > 0:00:22The amount of money it raises for the kids is unbelievable.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I like the way it unites the whole country.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27People pull together and want to help out.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Everyone is clubbing together for one cause.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31It's a way of life in this country.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Over the next two shows,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36we celebrate the weird, wacky, and wonderful ways
0:00:36 > 0:00:39in which our most cherished celebrities
0:00:39 > 0:00:43have gone above and beyond their duty, all in the name of charity.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Here at Children In Need, we've spent almost 200 hours
0:01:08 > 0:01:14selecting our favourite clips from the show's 30-year history.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Tonight, as we enjoy this veritable smorgasbord
0:01:17 > 0:01:20of Children In Need sketches...
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Yeah, baby, it's time to get naked.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23..songs...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25# You would be there when I needed somebody... #
0:01:25 > 0:01:27..and stand-out moments...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- That's, like, freaking me out. - That's, like, freaking me out!
0:01:30 > 0:01:34..we'll be joined by some familiar faces keen to relive...
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Children In Need is obviously the most important thing
0:01:37 > 0:01:39in my professional life.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40There wasn't a better platform
0:01:40 > 0:01:42for us than Children In Need. It was amazing.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44..or maybe forget...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Looking back, it is a bit embarrassing, yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Why on Earth did I say yes?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50..their time on Children In Need.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54In this show, we count down from 50 to 21,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57so let's take a look at our first clip.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We're back in 2007,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and it's the satisfying moment
0:02:04 > 0:02:07when the hard-bitten Dragons of Dragons' Den
0:02:07 > 0:02:11were brought down a peg or two by some brave young entrepreneurs.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16If we had any thought at all of patronising those kids -
0:02:16 > 0:02:18straight out the window as soon as they came up the stairs.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Hello, I'm Callum.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Last year, I noticed that my guinea pigs were getting bored
0:02:22 > 0:02:24with nothing to do but eat grass,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28so I designed a house and got my granddad to make it with me.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30There was one little guy called Callum
0:02:30 > 0:02:33who was absolutely cool as a cucumber,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35very serious about his pitch, and quite rightly so.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41I'd like £1,000 for heating in granddad's workshop,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43so it doesn't get cold in the winter,
0:02:43 > 0:02:48and also for some wood, instead of the other wood that we've got.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well done, Callum. Excellent presentation.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Surely everybody's on board.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57'Callum was pretty confident. I never would have thought'
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I would have had a pitch given to me by a ten-year-old.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It looks like the hamster could escape,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- because you have holes coming out. - They're windows!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Ah. Some of these Dragons aren't as bright as they look.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11They're windows?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Yes!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Yeah.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17The hamster doesn't jump through windows?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Come on, Peter, keep up.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, they'd be a bit silly if they would.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I think we're wasting our time, Callum.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Every single retort was pretty strong.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27In fact, that ten-year-old boy
0:03:27 > 0:03:30was probably better than half the people we get in the Den for real.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33It's better than just running around in an empty cage.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34It's a lot better.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36He made me feel about six years of age.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Confident pitch, fielded the questions well,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42but what did the experts think?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47You haven't really got an idea of how you're going to grow the business.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48That's a bit harsh.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50If that's the best you've done, you've done a very poor job.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Come on, guys, he's only 10.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57I don't like the way you presented today.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I don't like your business plan.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01That's the reason why I won't be investing.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Hold it there, we're only joking!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Let's rewind the tape and see how it really went down.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- It's better than just running around in an empty cage.- It's a lot better.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Callum, I like the idea that you care about the animals,
0:04:16 > 0:04:17and I will give you the £1,000.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Have we got a deal?- Yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Let's shake hands.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Ahh, well done, Callum.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26There we are, the spirit of Children In Need in action.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32At number 49 is the first Children In Need charity single
0:04:32 > 0:04:37to feature in our countdown, 2009's All You Need Is Love.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47As with all the Children In Need singles,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51a percentage of the sales went directly to the charity,
0:04:51 > 0:04:55and this helped raise £40 million last year.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57# All you need is love... #
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Pretty good, huh?
0:04:58 > 0:05:05And next on the countdown, it's time to say hello to an old favourite.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Back in the '80s, Sir Terry Wogan entertained millions of viewers
0:05:10 > 0:05:15hosting Blankety Blank, a kind of "finish my...sentence" panel show.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Fast forward to Children In Need 2004, and the stage was set
0:05:19 > 0:05:21for a triumphant return,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26reuniting Blankety Blank and Sir Terry once again.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27We were in for a treat.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Much may have changed in 21 years since I last held this microphone.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It's extraordinary what a feeling of power it gives you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36'I'm not a great one for preparation.'
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I had, frankly, forgotten completely how to play Blankety Blank.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Oh, dear, and forgetting
0:05:41 > 0:05:44how to play the game was only the start of Terry's problems.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47First, there were the unruly contestants.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Don't do it now, put it back!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50For heaven's sake!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Then the set went on strike.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58The automatic...roundabout will take you away...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01because it works like clockwork.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03You got the sense of, "Still sat here!
0:06:03 > 0:06:04"I think we should be moving!"
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Shall I just go and push it? - I would, yeah.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Shall we all pull together?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's all going wrong!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Poor Terry. What else could possibly go wrong?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I hope we're not going to have a lot of trouble from you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I understand you're a troublesome person.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I've never seen you on television myself.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34When you end up on one of these things, you're thinking, "Why on earth did I say yes?"
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I'm always going to make a complete idiot out of myself.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I understand you that have a tart way about you?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Occasionally, Terry.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43He was provoking me with his silly microphone.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Stick that any closer...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50'So I decided to break it!'
0:06:51 > 0:06:55You're a brave man, Cowell, very brave.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57He got a bit sulky. I don't think he was too happy about that.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Anybody got another one?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01The thing didn't work.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Nothing really worked.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Except that it was fun to do.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08That wasn't as slick as we were hoping!
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Sir Terry there, doing what he does best, keeping cool under pressure.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19And here at number 47 is another lot who know something about being cool.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25In 2003, the cast of Coronation Street
0:07:25 > 0:07:29gave us their expert rendition of Grease.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Casting for the male was easy.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Boyzone stud Keith Duffy assumed the lead role of Danny.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40But the role of Sandy needed someone real special.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43But, hey, there's over 35 ladies in this soap,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46surely it can't be that hard.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47I wasn't in Grease!
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Sorry, Fiz, to play Sandy, you need a striking stage presence,
0:07:53 > 0:07:58a fierce musical ability and years of dance lessons.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59I don't know if I would have been Sandy.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02# You better shape up... #
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Oh, and looking good in leather doesn't hurt much either.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08# And my heart is set on you
0:08:08 > 0:08:11# You better shape up... #
0:08:11 > 0:08:14There's pictures up on the wall in the green room
0:08:14 > 0:08:20of Nikki Sanderson in some very tight leather trousers.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I wonder why that's still up in the green room.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24# Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey... #
0:08:24 > 0:08:29I watched it with a bit of a tinge of...hmmm!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30# The one that I want... #
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Fiz may not have been the one they wanted,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36but Corrie's effort helped raise £15 million on the night,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and the cast had such a great time,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42they like to keep a permanent reminder somewhere very special.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44We have a photograph of that up
0:08:44 > 0:08:47on the set behind the Rovers.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50When Fiz goes to the toilet,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I go to the toilet and then that's where it is,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54hanging, Coronation Street do Grease.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56# You're the one that I want. #
0:08:56 > 0:09:00OK, Corrie, we know you can sing and dance, but can you act?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Ooh! Fabulous bangers.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Pay attention, girlfriends,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06it's time for some Children In Need Gok Shock.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Do you have any idea where I am?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Yeah! You're on Coronation Street, cock.- No, it's Gok.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Oh, cock instead of Gok.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Cock meaning the northern colloquialism,
0:09:17 > 0:09:22not the rude... We weren't calling him a rude word.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Right, glad we got that cleared up. Oh, yes, where were we?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26In 2008, the Fairy Gokmother
0:09:26 > 0:09:28really had his work cut out
0:09:28 > 0:09:32making over the residents of Coronation Street.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Yeah, baby, it's time to get naked. - Naked?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I know the other three said "Yes, I'll do it, as long as I don't have to be naked."
0:09:39 > 0:09:41But for me, I'd already spent half my time naked,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43practically, on that show anyway.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Blimey, must have missed that episode.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Listen, Auntie Gok's in town, and it's time to dress.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50So to cut a long story short,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Auntie Gok strips them down putting on a Gok-tastic fashion show.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55You go, girlfriend.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Shouting out some trademark catchphrases
0:09:58 > 0:10:00before inexplicable smoke appears,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02fireworks explode, confetti falls,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04oh, and a big, butch, manly fight breaks out.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Gok, I'm going to make you ten years younger!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Actually, it was probably a normal day in that factory.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Then style icon Gok Wan shows just what a good sport he is
0:10:13 > 0:10:15by modelling next season's new look...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18The Haley Cropper!
0:10:20 > 0:10:24We're counting down the top 50 moments from Children In Need,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and that was Gok Wan making over the cast of Corrie.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Let's see what's at number 45.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Right, you'd better wake up your mum and dad. This one's for the oldies.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Yes, Children In Need has the brilliant knack of getting
0:10:38 > 0:10:41old comedians to step out of retirement
0:10:41 > 0:10:43and back into the limelight.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45This has never been demonstrated more clearly
0:10:45 > 0:10:47than when Prunella Scales
0:10:47 > 0:10:51returned as the nation's favourite hostess, Sybil Fawlty,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55leading a merry band of comedy legends
0:10:55 > 0:10:57in 2007's take on Hotel Babylon.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01'I don't think anyone else could have pulled off a sketch like that,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03'getting actors all together'
0:11:03 > 0:11:07to do something of that scale for what is a couple of minutes of TV.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Like the best hotel mixologist's cocktail,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16this sequence was a finely balanced blend of ingredients.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Start off with a couple of handfuls of Dorien from Birds of a Feather.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Next, take a sachet of Yvette from 'Allo 'Allo,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28a subtle drizzle of Captain Peacock from Are You Being Served?,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30a meaty slug of Ted Bovis from Hi-de-Hi!,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33and a squeeze of June Whitfield.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Then shake it up with refined Adam Chance.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39What do you get?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41A Comedypolitan!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Sorry about that. Right, who's next on the list?
0:11:48 > 0:11:54Power-slide, high kick, is this Tom Cruise?
0:11:54 > 0:11:59No, it's Children In Need favourite, John Barrowman.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03# Today's music ain't got the same soul
0:12:03 > 0:12:07# I like that old time rock and roll
0:12:07 > 0:12:10# Don't try and take me to a disco... #
0:12:11 > 0:12:15When I was told I was going to be performing live in my underwear
0:12:15 > 0:12:18in front of the nation, part of me went, "Oh, dear!"
0:12:18 > 0:12:19And the other part went, "Yes!"
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# Old time rock and roll... #
0:12:22 > 0:12:26'I was doing this pastiche of Risky Business.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28'Tom Cruise has got great legs.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30'I kept thinking to myself,'
0:12:30 > 0:12:35"When he's in briefs, it looks like two teacakes". You know, tight.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40'And then I come out in boxers, which will look saggy.'
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So I was nervous that people would think I had a saggy butt.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Now, I've been to Barrowman's house,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49and what you're seeing there is pretty accurate -
0:12:49 > 0:12:52the relentless singing, the resident dance troupe
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and the unabashed prancing around in questionable boxer shorts.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58# I've got to hear some blues or funky old soul... #
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Personally, I'm a tidy whitey.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I'm a Y-fronts person.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Actually, I was meant to dance in tidy whities.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12But I was pulled aside and told, "We can't do the tidy whities.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15"You have to do boxer shorts. Tidy whities are a little too revealing."
0:13:17 > 0:13:20# I like that old time rock and roll... #
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Why do you want to know what happened to my underwear after the performance?!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30After the show, my underwear went onto the Pudsey website.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I actually know who bought the pants.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Wow, lovely!
0:13:36 > 0:13:42£3,000 for John Barrowman's sweaty boxer shorts!
0:13:42 > 0:13:43I should be selling them.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47I should have my own site to raise money for charities.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51# That old time rock and roll! #
0:13:54 > 0:13:56From bare legs to three legs.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59In at number 43 is singer-songwriter,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03painter and all-round entertainer, Rolf Harris.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Wow, what I wouldn't give to have a third leg.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13How on earth do you do it, Rolf?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Good question. I'm not going to tell you. What's the matter with you?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18# I'm Jake the Peg... #
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Oh, go on, Rolf, please.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm not going to tell you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Stop playing games!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28There's got to be some kind of trick to it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31# Jake the Peg... #
0:14:31 > 0:14:37I'll let you into the secret. There is a false leg involved!
0:14:38 > 0:14:42What?! A false leg? Of course!
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Oh, I feel such an idiot now.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48It's that one, look.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50No, hang on, it's the one in the middle.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Which one is it? Oh, I give up.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00# And then they shout at me
0:15:00 > 0:15:03# "Put your best foot forward"
0:15:03 > 0:15:05# But which foot?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Rolf and his appendage helped to raise £17.2 million on the night.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12# Got a choice of two
0:15:12 > 0:15:15# But me, I'm Jake the Peg
0:15:17 > 0:15:18# With his extra leg! #
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I shouldn't have told you that.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24One performer who certainly doesn't need an extra leg
0:15:24 > 0:15:27is good ol' twinkle toes himself, Brucie,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30seen here romancing Kaplinsky
0:15:30 > 0:15:34before leading his gaggle of merry men on a right old song and dance.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Two, three, four!
0:15:40 > 0:15:44It was so lovely to see Bruce and Sir Terry Wogan dancing together.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50Bruce obviously takes the dancing side of things seriously,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54so watching it, you could tell that Bruce was wanting to nail the steps,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and Terry was just having a blast.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59'I'm pretty bad on rehearsal.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02'I tend to make things up as I go along.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08'That has its shortcomings, when you're expected to remember
0:16:08 > 0:16:10'your steps, and remember what to do with your hat.'
0:16:10 > 0:16:12And your cane!
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Don't worry, Terry,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16you weren't the only one struggling to find your rhythm.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Go on, John. Go on, John.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23'As far as the public is concerned, John Humphrys has no legs.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27'When he appeared to dance for us, the bottom half of his body'
0:16:27 > 0:16:29is not all that well co-ordinated with the upper half.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32He was dancing to a different song.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34You might be on to something there, Fearne.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37This is what was actually bouncing around in John's head.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41DANCE MUSIC
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Actually, we've traced John's footsteps throughout the sequence,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and this is what appeared.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Good sport John Humphrys
0:16:53 > 0:16:56communicating through the medium of dance there.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Now, let's pause a minute.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02When I say Children In Need, what do you think of?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Wogan? Pudsey? Generous audience members in silly costumes?
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Well, I bet buttons to bottletops that this lot also spring to mind.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14We interrupt this broadcast to bring you breaking news.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20'The night of Children In Need, the first thing you think of,'
0:17:20 > 0:17:24and everyone does it, is newsreaders doing silly dances.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Yes, it's the newsreaders.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30'Every year, the newsreaders do something stupid.'
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Newsreaders are so straight that anything they do is funny.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36I do find myself going, "Oh, God."
0:17:36 > 0:17:37It's like watching my dad.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46'Everybody is prepared to go on live television'
0:17:46 > 0:17:48and make a bit of a fool of themselves,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50which will be on YouTube forever.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53'But because it's Children In Need,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55'they do it, and they're quite up for it.'
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yes, for one night of the year,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05the formal faces of BBC News get to let their hair down.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09It certainly puts the newsreaders in an unusual, potentially embarrassing situation.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15'All year round, we're pretty buttoned up.'
0:18:15 > 0:18:16It's nice to escape from that for a while.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Thanks, Bill, and back in the countdown,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21here they are at number 41.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Wow, this is most certainly not the Nine O'Clock News.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31# Goddess on the mountain top
0:18:33 > 0:18:35# Burning like a silver flame... #
0:18:35 > 0:18:39They must love it, because they're clearly not that serious in real life,
0:18:39 > 0:18:40they just have to be serious when they're behind that desk.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42# And Venus was her name... #
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Could this one moment change a newsreader's life forever?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Probably not, Peter, but we won't forget it in a hurry,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51especially as we didn't know
0:18:51 > 0:18:54what was lurking at the back of the stage.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57# Yeah, baby, she's got it... #
0:18:57 > 0:19:02We'd be thinking, "What on Earth am I doing here?"
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Well, Bill, since you ask, Wild Boys was based on a novel
0:19:06 > 0:19:09by William Burroughs, and you're playing the part
0:19:09 > 0:19:13of an adolescent humanoid ravaging the earth.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15# The wild boys are calling
0:19:15 > 0:19:19# On their way back from the fire... #
0:19:22 > 0:19:25'That first moment they fit you up, you think,'
0:19:25 > 0:19:30"No, no, I'm not wearing that!"
0:19:30 > 0:19:34It wasn't so much the leather trousers, but the string vests.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36There's not a whole lot going on under there, really.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42They were wearing quite naughty outfits, really,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I think maybe naughtier than they realised.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49# Oh, the secrets they could tell.... #
0:19:49 > 0:19:52There's always fishnets. There's a bit of bondage.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53There's a bit of leather.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58# Looks like they'll try again
0:19:58 > 0:20:02# Wild boys never lose it
0:20:02 > 0:20:06# Wild boys never choose this way... #
0:20:06 > 0:20:10'My recollections of Wild Boys - how can I put this?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12How enthusiastically some of my colleagues
0:20:12 > 0:20:14embraced the idea of bondage gear.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18You've got to watch these people.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26The newsreaders there with a memorable performance
0:20:26 > 0:20:29to tie up the first ten in our countdown
0:20:29 > 0:20:32to the Children In Need 50 Greatest Moments.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35So, what's at number 40? OZ-enders.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Dot Cotton describes the action.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I don't remember!
0:20:40 > 0:20:44To be fair, the story was a little baffling,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46so pay attention.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48This is what happened.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Dorothy Cotton falls asleep, and wakes up
0:20:50 > 0:20:54in an alternate Wizard of Oz reality set in Albert Square.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55There's something a bit queer going on.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57She is immediately confronted
0:20:57 > 0:21:00by two characters from Casualty, and Well'ard wearing sunglasses.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Oh! Me head!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Got all of that? Good. Meanwhile, Garry Hobbs has swapped jobs
0:21:05 > 0:21:08and is now serving in the Queen Vic whilst fiddling with a car battery.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'm a mechanic, not a barman.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Upset by characters from other shows invading Albert Square,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Dot is advised by Patrick Trueman to go and see the Wizard of Oz.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Little does she know that all of this mayhem is being caused
0:21:19 > 0:21:23by evil Ian Beale who mixed up the BBC drama scripts
0:21:23 > 0:21:25before throwing darts at pictures of Phil Mitchell.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Hello, princess.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29What? The action returns to Holby City's Mubbs Hussein,
0:21:29 > 0:21:30who discovers he doesn't have a heart.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Could someone get me to a hospital?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Oh, and did I mention that Garry has no brain?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Sometimes wonder if I've got a brain at all.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37And this other dude is a coward?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I'm such a coward.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Told you. Like in The Wizard of Oz.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Anyway, moving on. Several characters play noughts and crosses on a patient's chest,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47while Garry, Mubbs, the other dude, and Dorothy
0:21:47 > 0:21:50decide to burst out of the hospital to go and see the wizard.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51We'll all go together.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56They're advised by Merseybeat's Inspector Superintendent Jim Oulton to...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Follow the yellow big bear!
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Oh, and Elvis pops up too!
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Together they dance off down the street before arriving at the Children In Need studio.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Suddenly, Ian Beale appears from behind a poorly timed smoke explosion
0:22:08 > 0:22:12and Jon Culshaw dressed as Ozzy Osbourne addresses the gang.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13I am Oz.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17The loose ends are all tied up with the Wizard of Oz - Ozzy Osbourne -
0:22:17 > 0:22:22banishing the evil Ian Beale to TV purgatory, and the scene finishes with a good old sing-song.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25# Some day I'll wish upon a star... #
0:22:25 > 0:22:28But what does the star of the show, Dot Cotton, think?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31It was silly and simple and I thought it was rather lovely.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33So did we, Dot.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Oh, my God, they look hideous!
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Was something often said by Trinny and Susannah
0:22:41 > 0:22:44on their makeover show What Not To Wear.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Here, however, they're looking very stylish
0:22:47 > 0:22:50in their interpretation of Madonna's Vogue.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51# Come on, Vogue #
0:22:51 > 0:22:53# Vogue
0:22:53 > 0:22:56# Let your body groove to the music... #
0:22:56 > 0:22:58The soft lighting, monochrome colourwash
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and precise choreography was a valiant effort,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04but there's no substitute for the real thing
0:23:04 > 0:23:08and, thankfully, two years later, Pudsey's prayers were answered
0:23:08 > 0:23:12as the queen of pop agreed to appear live on stage.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18There was a huge buzz of excitement in the building all day.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22It was an extraordinary breakthrough to have Madonna open the show for us.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28At one point her and about a thousand people in her entourage
0:23:28 > 0:23:29briskly walked past me.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34It's so weird seeing her in real life, because she's on of the most iconic famous people in the world.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37She was probably the biggest thing in show business at the time.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43So, without further ado, here she is, Madonna!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46# Those who run seem to have all the fun
0:23:46 > 0:23:48# I'm caught up... #
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Wait, wait a minute, what the hell's wrong with the clip?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Ah, that's better.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Her performance was on the night was spectacular.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Audience just went mad.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07# I don't know what to do
0:24:07 > 0:24:08# Every little thing
0:24:08 > 0:24:10# That you say or do
0:24:10 > 0:24:13# I'm hung up... #
0:24:13 > 0:24:17You want that first performance to be huge,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20to set the pace of the show and Madonna did more than that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25# Every little thing Every little thing
0:24:25 > 0:24:29# I'm hung up, I'm hanging up on you
0:24:29 > 0:24:32# Waiting for your call, waiting for your call... #
0:24:32 > 0:24:37Over nine million viewers tuned in, and the fun wasn't over
0:24:37 > 0:24:40as Sir Terry took to the stage to throw some shapes with Madge herself.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Oh, Lord, did he?
0:24:47 > 0:24:48I was born to dance.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Madonna there, opening the show in 2005.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Now let's see who had the honour in 2007.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Bless!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09All went wrong and the whole country were watching.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13I did have to laugh!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I think I weed myself a little bit, I laughed so much.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26It's a shame for Lee, but people watch it for that kind of thing.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29There's a little girl to my left,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I remember seeing her face thinking, "We're on telly."
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I was like, "I know!"
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Singer's worst nightmare - not being heard.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45It's all a bit of a blur, to be honest. It all happened so quick.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47But looking back, it is a bit embarrassing.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Oh, come on, Lee, it wasn't that bad. So your microphone packed up.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54We were all singing along with you.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58And for anyone who missed it here's the karaoke version.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13VOCALS DROP
0:26:32 > 0:26:34His microphone was dead.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37There was at the side of the stage trying to get to him,
0:26:37 > 0:26:38but it would have literally
0:26:38 > 0:26:40been a case of jumping on top of five year olds.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47# A crash of drums... #
0:26:47 > 0:26:49'It is not until you finish'
0:26:49 > 0:26:53that you realise most of the country was watching the performance.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56It is one to look back on, I guess.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00# Any dream will do
0:27:01 > 0:27:06# Give me my coloured coat... #
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Ahh, it all worked out in the end,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11and the odd mishap is what Children In Need is all about.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Sometimes you just need to step back and have a laugh at yourself.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Which is exactly what these next three did.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Ever wondered what Dot Cotton, Pat Butcher and Vera Duckworth
0:27:25 > 0:27:27look like as saucy schoolgirls?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Well, we're about to find out,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32as we were treated to this fantasy in 1991.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34# Three little new barmaids are we
0:27:34 > 0:27:37# Pert as a schoolgirl as you see... #
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Crikey!
0:27:40 > 0:27:42# Three little spunky girls
0:27:42 > 0:27:44# Pure and spotless virgins three
0:27:46 > 0:27:49# All on the brink of puberty... #
0:27:50 > 0:27:54It was dressing up as schoolgirls, and it was just fun.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56You didn't worry about it. You had a nice time.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59# Three pretty lucky girls
0:28:02 > 0:28:05# Two little maidens from EastEnders
0:28:05 > 0:28:07# Both want a bloke to love and tend us
0:28:07 > 0:28:11# Both of them wearing silk suspenders
0:28:14 > 0:28:17# Three pretty raunchy girls... #
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Rumour has it these three are set to star alongside Gemma Arterton
0:28:21 > 0:28:24in the next St Trinian's movie,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and whilst they'll have to wait a bit
0:28:26 > 0:28:29to get their hands on Russell Brand's Flash Harry,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32there's always someone they can flirt with.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35We were really all after Sir Terry Wogan!
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Ooh, Terry, you lucky man!
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Did I land up sitting on Terry Wogan's lap?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Yes, I thought I might have done.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Like you can't remember, June.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I think I won there!
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Frankly, if I wasn't a married man,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01and it hadn't been in front of millions of people watching,
0:29:01 > 0:29:03we could have run-off together.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Careful, Terry.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43It's 2001, and this is Shaun Williamson and friends
0:29:43 > 0:29:46with their version of a Queen classic.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48# I want to break free... #
0:29:50 > 0:29:54'When they came up with the idea, based on Queen's iconic video
0:29:54 > 0:29:56'of that song, I thought,'
0:29:56 > 0:29:58"What a laugh, which part do you want me to be?"
0:29:58 > 0:30:02"The Freddie Mercury, stockings and suspenders,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04"hoover, big wig."
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Fine. OK.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07And it was a real laugh.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11As if one cross-dressing Freddy wasn't enough, we're treated to another.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Try and guess where he's hiding.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15# I want to break free... #
0:30:17 > 0:30:20# I'm falling in love... #
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I thought, "This is going well.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24"The whole nation loves me."
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Then, of course, Greco jumps out of a wardrobe, and you forget about me.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33# I'm falling in love
0:30:36 > 0:30:39# God knows
0:30:39 > 0:30:41# God knows I'm falling in love... #
0:30:44 > 0:30:50Showing a bit of hairy leg live on television is not limited to just the soap stars.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Hello, everyone.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58And welcome to our Children In Need swingometer.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03There are some things in life that just belong together...
0:31:03 > 0:31:06fish and chips, Posh and Becks, and Children In Need
0:31:06 > 0:31:08and the newsreaders.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Let's go back to 1992 and see where it all began.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15The king of the swingers!
0:31:15 > 0:31:19The assumption is the newsreaders always were part and parcel
0:31:19 > 0:31:22of dressing up, dancing and singing for us...
0:31:22 > 0:31:23# I wanna be a man, man-cub... #
0:31:23 > 0:31:28..but this was initiated by Peter Snow.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Peter Snow, in that leopard skin,
0:31:32 > 0:31:35that really was showing you the way it was going.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39And it was going very well indeed.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Peter made it respectable for people in the serious business of newsreading
0:31:46 > 0:31:50to come out and for one night only make fools of themselves,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53as we all do on behalf of Children In Need.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Well, John, what would you say
0:31:54 > 0:31:57is the underlying political significance
0:31:57 > 0:31:58of what we're seeing tonight?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Undoubtedly, Peter Snow is swinging towards megalomania!
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I think they were very ambitious, really.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07We're more mainstream showbiz these days.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10# Oh, whoop-dee-doo I wanna be like you-oo-oo... #
0:32:10 > 0:32:16I was just disappointed that he didn't swing off through the trees, going "Aaah-aah-aaah!"
0:32:16 > 0:32:19# Someone like me-ee-ee... #
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Peter Snow and the newsreaders there.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Now, what's at number 33?
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Ozzy Osbourne's view of the world has always been somewhat different to the norm,
0:32:29 > 0:32:33so just imagine the utter confusion he suffered
0:32:33 > 0:32:35coming face to face with himself.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Who are you? The Prince of Darkness!
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Who are you? The Prince of Darkness!
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Who are you? The Prince of Darkness!
0:32:43 > 0:32:45That guy's freaking me out!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47This guy's freaking ME out!
0:32:47 > 0:32:49You look like me!
0:32:49 > 0:32:53This is, like, the best lookalike that I've ever seen.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55That could have just gone anywhere.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59That's your lookalike sorted, when's mine coming on?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Just get on with the interview.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Question one - what is your name?
0:33:06 > 0:33:07The Prince of Darkness!
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Very strong smell of aftershave, Ozzy has.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13He must get his bottle of aftershave and... Loads of it on.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19You can smell the aftershave 30 yards before Ozzy has reached you.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Next, the real Sharon Osbourne came out,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25and if Ozzy wasn't baffled enough already,
0:33:25 > 0:33:29the producers then introduced a lifelike mannequin of Simon Cowell.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Definitely looks like Simon to me.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37It was just the image of Cowell before him brought out this real sense of genuine venom.
0:33:37 > 0:33:43Yes, the sight of his wife's tormentor proved just too much, tipping Ozzy over the edge.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Punching with some serious intentions.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49I sensed, he didn't like this image before him.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Perhaps he thought it was real.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- That's called getting the short straw.- The Prince of Darkness!
0:33:56 > 0:34:01Ozzy Osbourne, just one of the many music legends to appear on Children In Need over the years.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Let's just pause the countdown for a moment
0:34:04 > 0:34:08to look at some other classic performances.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Last year was the first time
0:34:12 > 0:34:14we had been associated with Children In Need.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16We performed Everybody In Love.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18# Everybody in love
0:34:18 > 0:34:20# Go put your hands up... #
0:34:20 > 0:34:25There's always a buzz about it, and everyone's there clubbing together
0:34:25 > 0:34:30for one cause - to raise as much money as possible to help children around the UK.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37JLS appeared last year, and they're in great company.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40# Stop right now Thank you very much
0:34:40 > 0:34:44# I need somebody with a human touch... #
0:34:44 > 0:34:50# Hold on tonight Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh... #
0:34:50 > 0:34:56# Here comes the girls Girl, girls, girls... #
0:34:56 > 0:35:00# I'm spinning around Move out of my way
0:35:00 > 0:35:04# I know you're feeling me cos you like it like this... #
0:35:04 > 0:35:07# You're gonna make me Make me love you
0:35:07 > 0:35:10# Nothing at all Nothing that I do... #
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Some of the awesome pop stars who have done their bit.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17But back in the countdown there's one band who have given more
0:35:17 > 0:35:19for Children In Need than any other.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23We started back in '93, '94. '94 would have been
0:35:23 > 0:35:25our first Children In Need performance, I think.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30We did Children In Need every year.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Then we broke up, we went our own way.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37To come back then, in 2007,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40and for Children In Need still to want Boyzone...
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Boyzone are back!
0:35:42 > 0:35:48To have the opportunity to re-launch the band on Children In Need, it was such a buzz, such a great honour.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52# You'll be there When I needed somebody... #
0:35:53 > 0:35:54So, this is it,
0:35:54 > 0:36:00the moment Children In Need brought Boyzone back together.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03# I had a picture of you in my mind... #
0:36:03 > 0:36:07It was seven years since we had performed together
0:36:07 > 0:36:09and the first thing we're doing is on a live TV show.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12That was nailbiting stuff.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17It had been a long time since we had done any dance routines
0:36:17 > 0:36:19or sang together, so there was a lot to take on.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23But to do it on the biggest show in the country, it was just exciting.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30# I had a picture of you in my mind
0:36:30 > 0:36:34# Never knew it could be so wrong... #
0:36:34 > 0:36:38We thought, "If we come back together, whether we decide to take it further,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41"or we do this and do the shows and leave it at that,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45"at least we've come back for the right reasons, to do a bit of good."
0:36:45 > 0:36:47That kind of helped us come back, in a way.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51We've a lot to thank Children In Need for.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55# Why'd it take me so long just to find
0:36:56 > 0:36:57# The friend that was there... #
0:36:57 > 0:37:049.6 million people saw the return of Boyzone, and here's another one for the ladies.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10# And they called it puppy love... #
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Children In Need is all about stars from different arenas joining forces
0:37:17 > 0:37:21for the greater good, and that's why, in 2003,
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Donny Osmond found himself on stage with the Kumars.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31# And why I love her so... #
0:37:35 > 0:37:40Meera Syal, who played the grandma, actually in real life
0:37:40 > 0:37:43claims she's a bigger fan than I am of Donny Osmond - so wrong!
0:37:43 > 0:37:45No, I am number one.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46# My knees are killing me... #
0:37:46 > 0:37:49You may think you're number one, Roslin,
0:37:49 > 0:37:53but it looks like Granny Kumar prefers being underneath anyway.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00# You'll be back in my arms... #
0:38:00 > 0:38:05I remember, by the end, they were rolling around on the floor.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Will someone help me?
0:38:08 > 0:38:12I probably wanted to be on the floor, but it was brilliant, I loved that sketch.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15I loved the Kumars. They should still be on. Bring back the Kumars!
0:38:15 > 0:38:18# Answer up above... #
0:38:18 > 0:38:25And all this frolicking around helped raise over £15 million on the night.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Sanjeev, come and help me.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- # Who wants to be a millionaire? - I don't... #
0:38:33 > 0:38:38The last place you expect to see some High Society is on Emmerdale Farm,
0:38:38 > 0:38:44but that's exactly what those dirt magnets did in 2005
0:38:44 > 0:38:46for a very special Children In Need performance.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50# I have heard among this clan... #
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Even stumbling drunk Shadrach scrubbed up well.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56# Is that what they're saying? Did you ever?
0:38:56 > 0:39:00# What a swell party this is
0:39:00 > 0:39:03# Have you heard, it's in the stars
0:39:03 > 0:39:06# Next July we collide with Mars
0:39:06 > 0:39:09# Well, did you ever? #
0:39:09 > 0:39:14The Woolpack locals proving that a little dress and decorum can go a very long way.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19It's just a shame the whole series budget was spent on a firework display!
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Anything Emmerdale can do, EastEnders can do just as well.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35History books will state that EastEnders was first conceived in the '80s.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36However, what's not known
0:39:36 > 0:39:40is that a decade earlier the BBC piloted EastEnders...The Musical.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46# Calling out around the world... #
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Ah! What could've been.
0:39:48 > 0:39:55We're joking, of course. This is 2009's EastEnders Motown Medley.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Where it wasn't just the girls that got glammed up.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02# And I'm bringing you a love that's true
0:40:02 > 0:40:07# So get ready, so get ready Come, get ready... #
0:40:07 > 0:40:11We were slick on the mics. We were pretty fly.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13We had the nice suits, you know.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18# You want to play hide-and-seek with love, let me remind you
0:40:18 > 0:40:19# It's all right... #
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Anything that involves giving me hair, I'm down!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24# Missing the time it takes to find you... #
0:40:24 > 0:40:25'To hit the high notes?'
0:40:25 > 0:40:28It was partly due to the trousers they gave me.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I can't deny it, they were...snug.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- # Ain't no mountain high enough - No mountain high enough... #
0:40:34 > 0:40:36'It is a nightmare for the director'
0:40:36 > 0:40:41because television actors have the concentration span of fruit flies!
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Yes, all the singing and dancing was just too much for some characters.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48We're going, "Ooh, put the music up a bit louder this time!"
0:40:48 > 0:40:51But even Heather got there in the end.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53# Ah! #
0:40:53 > 0:40:55It hits you that you're doing something
0:40:55 > 0:41:00that is raising a lot of money and does every, every year
0:41:00 > 0:41:03for absolutely brilliant, brilliant causes.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04# Ain't no mountain high enough... #
0:41:04 > 0:41:10Not half! This performance helped raise £40 million last year.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13# Ain't no mountain high enough. #
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Well, done, EastEnders.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17# Ain't no mountain high enough... #
0:41:17 > 0:41:19OK, Heather, we've done this one now. Heather!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21# Ain't no valley keep me from you! #
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Heather! Can someone get Heather's mate, Shirley?
0:41:24 > 0:41:29Luckily, Children in Need always has a team of highly skilled medical professionals on hand.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Good job, too, because in 2009, disaster struck
0:41:32 > 0:41:37and Children in Need's main man fell unexpectedly ill.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40No, not Sir Terry. Pudsey!
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Tess, call for a spiritometer.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Nice to see you again, Pudsey, old son...
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Fortunately, the Casualty team were fully trained in bear resuscitation.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Ignoring the obvious physical injuries to his head,
0:41:52 > 0:41:56the team went for a more economic approach to his recovery.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- His fluff count is way down. - We could try lotta letters-ology.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03No, no, his spirits are too low. We'd risk tufftasayitis.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07People, we've got to face facts here. This is a waiting game.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11However, their patience reaped dividends
0:42:11 > 0:42:13and the team finally unravelled
0:42:13 > 0:42:16the connection between wealth and health.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22With his pockets bulging for a good cause,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Pudsey soon skipped out of the ward and the show went ahead,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28raising 20 million on the night.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33Now what's at number 27 in our countdown? Let's take a look.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Or should I say, let's take a sniff.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42The BBC was the first to bring television into your home,
0:42:42 > 0:42:47the first to bring you colour pictures and widescreen TV,
0:42:47 > 0:42:53and in 1995, Auntie Beeb provided us with technology that would blow our minds.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- I remember smelly-vision. - It's Smell-o-vision, Roslin.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59I remember Smell-o-vision.
0:43:01 > 0:43:07You could buy these little booklets to actually sniff while you were watching the television.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10You'd rub something and you could smell...
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Noel Edmonds.- Ooh!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14It's very bizarre because in the book,
0:43:14 > 0:43:16you're sniffing Noel's armpit!
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Mr Blobby.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23- What's that smell?- Blobby-blobby!
0:43:25 > 0:43:30You can imagine everyone doing it, going, "Oh, God, it smells like berries." But it didn't.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32It just smelt like a book.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Television may not have stunk,
0:43:35 > 0:43:38but thanks to the help of Blobby and friends,
0:43:38 > 0:43:43a stinking £16.8 million was raised for Children in Need.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Right, what's next? Hmm. Can anyone smell cheese?
0:43:46 > 0:43:50# I'm through with standing in line because I never get in, it's like the
0:43:50 > 0:43:53# Bottom of a night that I'm never going to win
0:43:53 > 0:43:58# This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be... #
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Talent shows have recently been criticised
0:44:00 > 0:44:03for using pitch-correcting, auto-tune technology
0:44:03 > 0:44:05to ensure singers sound in key.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06# A room I can play baseball in
0:44:06 > 0:44:11# And a kingsize tub big enough for ten plus me
0:44:11 > 0:44:13# Is that what you need? #
0:44:13 > 0:44:20Unfortunately, all of the auto-tune machines were in use on this day, so instead, here are our stars miming.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23# Cos we all just want to be big rock stars
0:44:23 > 0:44:26# And live in hilltop castles driving 15 cars... #
0:44:26 > 0:44:27They do sound good, though.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30# Digger's going to wind up there
0:44:30 > 0:44:34# Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blonde hair
0:44:34 > 0:44:37# Hey, hey, I want to be a rock star
0:44:40 > 0:44:44# Hey, hey I want to be a rock star... #
0:44:48 > 0:44:52Last summer, we said a tearful goodbye to an old friend.
0:44:52 > 0:44:58Yes, after 27 years The Bill closed its doors to Sun Hill forever.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04- # Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone... # - Could this be the reason why?
0:45:04 > 0:45:08- # On the slide trombone... # - We had PC Nate Roberts on drums,
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Detective Constable Terry Perkins on bass,
0:45:11 > 0:45:14and even Natalie from EastEnders busting some moves.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18# Everybody on the whole cell block... #
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Every one of them was in serious breach of police regulations.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- Twist! - No-one's going to jail here, though.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31This is The Bill's 2008 Blues Brothers' Medley for Children in Need.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34# And do the bird... #
0:45:37 > 0:45:40# Bend over, let me see you shake your tail-feather
0:45:40 > 0:45:43# Bend over, let me see you shake your tail-feather
0:45:43 > 0:45:46# Come on and let me see you shake your tail-feather
0:45:46 > 0:45:48# Come on and let me see you shake your tail-feather
0:45:48 > 0:45:52# Aaaahhhh! #
0:45:52 > 0:45:55A slick performance from The Bill there, but for one cast member
0:45:55 > 0:45:59of Hollyoaks, things didn't quite go as planned.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02MUSIC: Theme from "Psycho" by Bernard Herrmann.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05You can rehearse as much as you like but when you're on stage,
0:46:05 > 0:46:07you can hope that you get out the other side completely unscathed.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Unfortunately, that didn't happen to me.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14We've seen it twice before in this countdown.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16And now the hat-trick is complete.
0:46:16 > 0:46:21Everybody says it'll be all right on the night, but I did have an out-of-body experience.
0:46:21 > 0:46:27Yes, the curse of the Children in Need microphone mishap strikes again in 2009.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32# We will, we will rock you. #
0:46:34 > 0:46:39'Went on stage, live in front of all these millions of viewers,'
0:46:39 > 0:46:42and everybody else sang their line and it got to mine and I started to sing.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44HE MOUTHS
0:46:45 > 0:46:47INAUDIBLE LYRICS
0:46:50 > 0:46:55# You got mud on your face, you big disgrace... #
0:46:55 > 0:46:59At the end of my second line singing, one of the runners came up and handed me a microphone.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02So the next minute I had this microphone held in my hand
0:47:02 > 0:47:05whilst trying to clap my hands above my head.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08# We will, we will rock you. #
0:47:08 > 0:47:12It just was the most stressful two and a half minutes of my life.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16# We will, we will rock you. #
0:47:16 > 0:47:19First person I meet walking off stage, Lee Mead, and he just laughs!
0:47:21 > 0:47:23And says to me, "Mate, it happens to the best of us!"
0:47:24 > 0:47:30You're not wrong, Gerard. No matter how much preparation you put in, it doesn't always go to plan.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37Now, I bet your parents have banged on about this classic sketch, where comic legends
0:47:37 > 0:47:41Morecambe and Wise demonstrate the art of physical comedy.
0:47:41 > 0:47:46Children in Need decided to re-create this sketch in 2003,
0:47:46 > 0:47:49but where would they find two clowns who could handle their food?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54Step forward a couple of TV chefs.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57MUSIC: "The Stripper" by David Rose.
0:47:57 > 0:47:58Chefs, it's all about timing,
0:47:58 > 0:48:00getting everything right at the right time.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02So, this should be a doddle.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Yeah. Well, I think we did all right, actually.
0:48:07 > 0:48:12Yeah, well, we'll be the judge of that because this isn't so much about cooking as the co-ordination.
0:48:13 > 0:48:19Difficult. Really difficult. You walk out in front of ten million people watching, it's live!
0:48:20 > 0:48:23So were we crapping ourselves? Yes, we were!
0:48:25 > 0:48:29Well, with these two pros in the kitchen, it was bound to be a recipe for success, right?
0:48:35 > 0:48:37'He's a great natural mover.'
0:48:37 > 0:48:41He's got the rhythm and all that, and I sort of haven't.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44Don't be too hard on yourself, Antony.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47It seems to be going all right so far.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50- The pancakes stuck.- The pancakes were supposed to fall out.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54They didn't fall out quick enough, and we're going, "Come on".
0:48:54 > 0:48:58Tossing pancakes can be quite tricky so let's try something simpler.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Then I had to catch the toast.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05Toast. This should be easy.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07No!
0:49:07 > 0:49:11The set-builders had put the toaster in around the wrong way so
0:49:11 > 0:49:14the toast went that way and I was waiting for it to go that way.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Ah, an easy mistake. But if all else fails,
0:49:17 > 0:49:21just take off your clothes and pull out your sausage!
0:49:21 > 0:49:25It was a great fun thing to do, and actually very privileged
0:49:25 > 0:49:28to be asked to do something like that for Children in Need.
0:49:28 > 0:49:34Despite its flaws, it was a fair effort and another classic Children in Need moment.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Let's see what's being served up next.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:49:41 > 0:49:49In 2008, Sir Terry Wogan was joined by co-host Tess Daly for a very special Strictly Come Dancing.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53The bright idea was that Tess and I should have a competition.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Can you think of anything more ridiculous?
0:49:55 > 0:50:00Tess and Terry have turned into dancefloor divas and are about
0:50:00 > 0:50:04to let their feet do the talking to raise as much money as possible for Children In Need.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08Tess was absolutely ...ing it!
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- So, it's very, very simple. - It was tough for Terry, too.
0:50:13 > 0:50:18I endured hours of rehearsals trying to remember steps.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19# Let me show you... #
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Ah, yes, the steps.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25# The minute you walked in the joint
0:50:25 > 0:50:29# I could see you were a man of distinction
0:50:29 > 0:50:31# A real big spender Hey, big spender! #
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Tess smashed it. She was amazing.
0:50:33 > 0:50:39She had these long, gazelle-like, beautiful tanned legs that were flicking about everywhere.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41She was beautiful out on that dancefloor.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Yes, on the night Tess tripped the light fantastic,
0:50:46 > 0:50:48and as soon as Anton's back had recovered,
0:50:48 > 0:50:51they had to face the toughest judges on television.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57What I'm looking for in American Smooth is what I've just seen.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00- I love you, Len!- Like spun gold!
0:51:00 > 0:51:01It was fantastic.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03That clumsy little duckling
0:51:03 > 0:51:09has turned into a sexy swan and proved anyone can dance!
0:51:09 > 0:51:14Yes, Arlene, anyone can dance. But Terry isn't just anyone.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19Terry, oh, bless Terry.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22He had this concentration face when he was going...
0:51:28 > 0:51:32Hard work, preparation and hours of rehearsal can pay off.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Just look at the man go.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38She's going to fall... He's got her!
0:51:38 > 0:51:41And now for the big finale.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Yes, yes, he's walking in a circle!
0:51:44 > 0:51:48But for all the spectacle, it just wasn't meant to be.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52I was never in the running.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56I know Tess flung herself into it most enthusiastically,
0:51:56 > 0:52:02because when she won - which she was always going to - she went, "Yes!"
0:52:03 > 0:52:08I thought, "Just a minute, I had no idea that you were taking it as seriously as this."
0:52:12 > 0:52:16My advice to Terry is I wouldn't do too much dancing any more!
0:52:17 > 0:52:20He does not like to lose!
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Terry... you are not that good of a dancer!
0:52:27 > 0:52:33Maybe not, Barrowman, but Terry's twinkle toes helped raise a record £21 million on the night.
0:52:36 > 0:52:41We're nearing the end of the show. Have you all been paying attention?
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Well, if not, here's a little reminder.
0:52:46 > 0:52:52We've counted down from 50 to 22 and enjoyed 29 unmissable Children In Need moments.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54It's been a blast...
0:52:55 > 0:52:58..but there's one final moment to complete this show.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01It's number 21.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06# Now we're back together
0:53:06 > 0:53:08# Together... #
0:53:08 > 0:53:13In 1988, Neighbours' sweethearts Jason Donavon and Kylie Minogue
0:53:13 > 0:53:16topped the charts with the unforgettable Especially For You.
0:53:19 > 0:53:23Ten years later, another unforgettable version was released.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30# Especially for you
0:53:30 > 0:53:32# I want to let you know... #
0:53:32 > 0:53:36'I'm a massive Denise fan. I thought she was phenomenal.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38'That's when everybody realised she could sing.'
0:53:38 > 0:53:42I know it was all tongue in cheek, and they did it quite tongue in cheek.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45But if you've ever seen her on the West End stage, that girl can sing.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49# ..I still feel the same... #
0:53:49 > 0:53:51# Especially for you... #
0:53:51 > 0:53:56A lot of viewers thought I was wearing a wig. But no. Always had a thick head of hair, always.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58I'm one of TV's most celebrated blondes.
0:53:58 > 0:54:03# If dreams were wings, you know I would have flown to you
0:54:03 > 0:54:06# To be where you are... #
0:54:06 > 0:54:11# No matter how far And now that I'm next to you... #
0:54:11 > 0:54:14'You get in the zone, you feel the force of the Don.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16'His spirit literally enters you '
0:54:16 > 0:54:19and you feel suddenly giddy and you can't help it.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21You're in the Dono-zone.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24# Now we're back together
0:54:24 > 0:54:26# Together
0:54:26 > 0:54:29# I want to show you
0:54:29 > 0:54:32# My heart is oh, so true
0:54:32 > 0:54:39# And all the love I have is especially for you... #
0:54:42 > 0:54:45'He just made me laugh. Every single expression he pulled.'
0:54:45 > 0:54:48He had on the cheesiest hair!
0:54:48 > 0:54:52How Denise managed to keep a straight face, I'll never know.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02Denise was really enthusiastic. She's got a really good voice.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05I'm not so good. I can vaguely carry a tune.
0:55:05 > 0:55:10# No more dreaming about tomorrow Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
0:55:10 > 0:55:14# And I've got to say it's all because of you
0:55:14 > 0:55:19# Now we're back together
0:55:19 > 0:55:20# Together... #
0:55:20 > 0:55:23It was amazing. At the time we walked out and we did get a big roar.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25Suddenly it was a bit Johnny Pop Star.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Yeah, it was good.
0:55:32 > 0:55:37Yes, the studio audience and viewers alike enjoyed the laugh,
0:55:37 > 0:55:41and Johnny and Denise helped raise over £11 million on the night.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49I leapt up on Terry. I don't know why I did that. You know what it was? Relief.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54'Terry is one of Earth's most huggable humans.
0:55:54 > 0:55:58'I felt like an elaborate network of trusses on his back.'
0:55:59 > 0:56:01- I didn't. I'm lying. - Can I ask you something?
0:56:01 > 0:56:04Sorry to do this to you live on air, I think, and I don't know if you all
0:56:04 > 0:56:07agree with me, that that should be released as a Christmas single.
0:56:07 > 0:56:11'The two of them at that time were so popular as a double act.'
0:56:11 > 0:56:14They were taking it seriously.
0:56:14 > 0:56:16They were going to go for this.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20I thought the song would work again so we thought, "Yeah, we'll put it out as a record."
0:56:20 > 0:56:23- You'll release it for Christmas? - Yes, we'd love to.
0:56:23 > 0:56:28- Money to Children In Need. Fantastic!- We ended up appearing, lifelong ambition,
0:56:28 > 0:56:32on Christmas Top Of The Pops, which was extraordinary.
0:56:32 > 0:56:36Yes, Johnny, it just goes to show that Children In Need can make dreams come true,
0:56:40 > 0:56:43So, there we have it. We've counted down from 50 to 21,
