The problem with Children In Need...
...is that when they break off into the regional reports, they don't all keep to the same timetable. So while you start off watching the events at BBC Television Centre, London, when they break off to, say, Wales, there's a good chance they won't pass back to the main events in time to catch something you might be waiting for. I've missed out on things like the Eastenders Special, or the Newsreaders doing their annual song and dance, because BBC Wales were showing us a concert going on in Wrexham! *sighs*
Now, with Cable, there's an option to watch BBC England, BBC Wales, BBC Scotland and even BBC Ireland, so we can always watch BBC England and just see the London events. Normally this works fine - but this year they have John Barrowman and Gethin Jones hosting the Welsh events from the Millenium Centre!
My parents don't want to miss anything at Television Centre, so guess which channel we're watching...
Le sigh
I can't even plead with them to turn it back, 'cause they don't like John.
Ah well - the Doctor Who special is on. 'Least I haven't missed that!
EDT: Oooookay...the Christmas special should be interesting this year!
