Children in Need 2014
Children in Need 2014 is a campaign held in the United Kingdom to raise money for the charity Children in Need. 2014 marks the 34th anniversary of the appeal which culminated in a live broadcast on BBC One and BBC Two on the evening of Friday 14 November until the early hours of Saturday 15 November. The broadcast was hosted by Sir Terry Wogan, with Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton, Rochelle Humes and Nick Grimshaw as co-hosts. Shane Richie hosted the period the show was broadcast on BBC Two. The show was broadcast from the BBC in Elstree but also includes regular regional opt-outs.[1] Wogan didn't present the 2015 appeal because of ill health, and later died in January 2016, making this his last one.
