Children In Need-Friday 14th November 08

McFly are to perform the 2008 BBC Children in Need single and will be donating all profits from the single to the charity's 2008 Appeal.

The double-A sided single features the track Do Ya, from their current album Radio:ACTIVE, and a cover version of Rod Stewart and The Faces' Seventies hit Stay With Me.

The band will sing both songs, live on the night.

Tom from McFly says: "We're so honoured to be releasing the official single for Children in Need.

"We've performed several times on the live show in the past and it's always been an amazing night with a fantastic atmosphere.

"Hopefully our single can help raise more money than ever for what is such a great cause."

For fans eager to be amongst the first to get their hands on the new single, it will be available to pre-order on the night of the 14 November as a two-track download.

The single will be available to download from Sunday 23 November and commercially available in stores from Monday 24 November

I wonder if they'll do as well as last year's total, what with people having less cash.

I suppose people may give less Dave during these trying times.

That's a great idea. You can top up 24/7 now.

Firstly, make sure you tune in to BBC1 on Friday night as Will will be appearing on BBC Children in Need alongside a host of other stars (including Girls Aloud and the Sugababes) to raise money for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

Won't see it until i come in at about midnight.

Wow, this is tomorrow I only just realised this minute lol

Vroom, Vroom!!
Valentino Rossi, six times MotoGP World Champion and one of the world's best-loved sportsmen, is doing his bit to support BBC Children in Need.

Rossi will be competing in this year's Wales Rally GB in December, the final round of the FIA World Rally Championship, and he'll be driving a specially developed car. But if that wasn't cool enough, it will have the ever-smiling Pudsey on it too!

Andrew Coe, from the team which has organised the event, said: "We're delighted to welcome Valentino Rossi to this year's Wales Rally GB... He is a supreme ambassador for all forms of motor sport, as well as a remarkably-gifted sportsman."

Pudsey is thrilled that Rossi is supporting him, and Rossi said: "I'm also delighted to be supporting BBC Children in Need, which does such vital work in the UK. It's a great charity and one I'm very pleased to be involved in."

We wish him the very best of luck!

I like the eastenders sketch they are singing again this year.
