Posted November 10, 201014 yr So the best charity telethon of (an even) year is back! And this year's line-up looks set to be as big as ever! :D It kicks of next Friday at 7:00pm and runs 'til 2:05am. There will obviously be loads of tear-jerking videos, but I love it non-the-less!

November 10, 201014 yr The novelty wears off as you get older I think :(. That lineup sounds pretty dire tbh.

November 10, 201014 yr f*** off with more Michael Flipping Jackson tributes! Particularly from Peter f***ing Andre :puke: The Script, JLS, The Sats vs. MCfly and most importantly the Eastenders thing should be worth watching... Shame i'm at work though and can't see them. The eastenders thing is usually the best thing about the show.
November 19, 201014 yr I thought Cheryl was meant to be performing The Flood ? Promise This has really grown on me though and shes a great dancer
November 19, 201014 yr I usually listen to it in the background, and turn off afterwards, it gets reptitive and annoying with the overuse of the phone number. "Yes the whole nation knows the number" Plus I think the show has passed its sell by date, I usually just watch it for music acts performing.
November 19, 201014 yr Promise This has really grown on me though and shes a great dancer -_- No comment
November 19, 201014 yr Passed its sell by date but makes millions of money to help people? :unsure: Also it still attracts millions of people to get involved and some of the biggest artists to be on the show. I prefer her performances to kylies performance though. Yeah I thought Cheryl would perform Promise This, an okay performance. Edited November 19, 201014 yr by Peace
November 19, 201014 yr The first line put me off from even attemptin to watch this on BBC England. Cole, Hamilton and Button :manson: 3 of the nations most vile people in one room, no thank you. I haven't watch Children In Need in years, up here its hosted by Jackie Bird. A woman who makes Ferne Cotton look like the worlds greatest presenter. I avoid BBC Scotland as much as possible because the bitch is everwhere
November 19, 201014 yr Kylie :cheer: Cheryl was dire, as all of her performances are. I thought Cheryl was OK. Kath
November 19, 201014 yr Kylie's vocals are so weak..she's so cute though! :lol: Westlife were okay, no brilliant, big impact performances so far..
November 19, 201014 yr Kylie was great. And out of all days Cheryl bought herself £150,000 Rolls, she could have donated the money to Children In Need instead.
November 19, 201014 yr The Coronation Street-Eastenders thing did have some pretty genius moments :lol: especially Gail's conversation and the final scene :lol:
November 19, 201014 yr Author Loved "East Street"! :D Brilliant mixture of the characters, and they actually worked quite well! :o
November 19, 201014 yr Take That were excellent. I much preferred Never Forget to The Flood. The very first time the five of them have sung the song live! Kath
November 19, 201014 yr Take That were excellent. I much preferred Never Forget to The Flood. The very first time the five of them have sung the song live! Kath Me too. Never Forget :wub:
November 19, 201014 yr Loved the Take That performances. Although I like The Flood it was lovely to watch Never Forget and see the crowd get involved. That song always makes me feel good though. I'm not a proper fan of anyone else on the show, but I thought Cheryl, The Saturdays and Westlife were all good in my opinion. Other than that my highlight would be East Street which cracked me up. I'm looking forward to Dragon's Den Come Dine With Me and the Newsreaders usually always put on a good show. Edited November 19, 201014 yr by SLF
