Studio usage for new schedule

SIR Terry Wogan yesterday had a pop at BBC celebs like DJ Chris Moyles for their charity commitments.

He said it is a “shame†they are keen to support Comic Relief and not the Beeb’s Children In Need.

At least they are not getting paid to host it Wogan! He should donate all of that to the cause and not his back pocket!

He has a fair point - everyone seems to go all out for Comic Relief and ignores Children In Need - but then again Comic Relief only occurs once every two years so is more special.

For me, Comic Relief has always seemed more "cool", whereas Children in need is all dodgy regional BBC presenters and cheesy skits from the cast of Eastenders. In Scotland Children in Need is particularly bad, as we get stuck every year with performances from ropey scottish pop acts like Darius and David Sneddon.

[Jono]

I think Children In Need has become more high brow over the last decade and it's only bosses to blame. The amount of bloody musicals, it's a good job there's an alternative. At the end of the day though it's still going to charity...

I agree

Comic relief always seems to be better viewing.

[Tom.]

comic relief is funny. children in need tries to be funny.

and fails miserably. and has horrible pudsey animations in the background. and annoying hosts

wrong Jono !

what do you mean "everyone seems to go all out for Comic Relief and ignores Children In Need" just how much have radio-1 dj's done for CIN, i didn't hear or see anything from the radio-2 dj's or get involved in anyway !

you have all the people who are on the bbc doing stuff for CIN, from eastenders cast, dragons den to the news readers & many many more.

what has Terry actually done for CIN ?

all he has ever done is present the show & get paid for it, (he did do Qi once & ruined the whole thing because he is to stupid to get it or he thought it was beneath him) next year then Terry if you are so bothered about it, why don't you do some training & go & clime K2 & get people to sponsor you (as it seems you won't do anything for free) or are you to lazy to actually do ANYTHING ?

im never going to support CIN again while he is on the show.

Terry should bugger off with his pal Gambo, sad, bitter miserable old men.

Some newsreaders and the Eastenders cast are hardly all star studded show. It wouldn't hurt for the higher paid celebrities to get involved with both telecasts. It's not like they're even in the same season.

higher paid ?

some of the people on eastenders are on over £100k a year & what difference does it make how much they get paid ?

the people they have on CIN are the most recognizable faces on the BBC, as i have said everyone else does more then Terry all he does is turn up on the night & then pick up his cheque & go home, i bet its even one of them big cheques to make himself feel better than everyone else.

Yes but there aren't just Eastenders working at the BBC. I'm not saying Moyles should shift his butt to help this cause. But there's plenty of other stars absent from both. Paxman occassionally pops his miserable face up - but not very often. I bet he gets a big pay cheque.

its just the same for Comic Relief then, not everyone at the BBC contributes to Comic Relief do they, instead of moaning about it Terry should come up with some ideas & do something about it.

PS. i can send him a few ideas that Gambo & himself could do for CIN next year

[Hammer]

im never going to support CIN again while he is on the show.

Great logic. Screw the kids because one of the people who presents the TV show is disappointed that people aren't more supportive of the charity

[Nik B.]

:yeahthat:

To be honest, I support CiN, Comic and Sport Relief. I have done for a number of years now.

Anyway back to the topic (delirious from virus,so all over the place srry), Terry can hardly talk. Yes, he hosts Children in Need, I hear hes paid for it though, which kinda defeats the object (I mean, if I got the priviledge to host such a show I'd donate my fee to it!). Comic/Sport relief, and Children in Need are all fantastic. But CR gets more attention because of how much more it gets discussed. It's been on TV, Radio, Online, and in Stores accross the nation since January. CiN gets what? 1 TV advert, and 1 Radio ad? It's hardly force fed to the nation is it?

Anyway, just a few thoughts from me. Apologies if the post makes little sense, but I'm pretty delirious right now

yeah, it is rather ironic isn't it 8)

[Tom.]

there is nothing to get invloved for CiN with (like buying noses etc.)

[augusta92]

There is a huge danger that all of these charity events actually lose sight of what they are meant to support..is it a contest now between who supports which fundraiser?

[E*F*4L]

Radio-1 peeps have raised £,1,207,661 (so far) for RND for supporting the Dj's.

how much did Radio-2 peeps raise for CIN last year for supporting the Radio-2 Dj's for whatever they did ?

[GSY_Fan]

Radio 2 raised over £2,000,000 last year for Children in Need by doing a money can't buy auction and taking Listeners request. I think people are being a bit harsh on Terry Wogan here while he is paid a standard fee for presenting the show he has stated he'll be happy to do it for free and him being paid for the show is a decision made by the BBC.

Terry may have a good point about these celebs, but personally I tend to favour Comic Relief too as atleast most of the money goes to Africa which at times really need the money.

it's makes no difference if the decision is made by the BBC, he has made the decision to accept the fee when he could donate it.

anyway, i'm sure that Radio-1 will top the two million mark
