Children in Need Single 2009

Love Peter Kay's Children in Need Single for 2009.

They created the video with five decades of children's telly characters. See if you can see your favourite from when you were little. They're mostly BBC characters but a few are from other places too.

Caught a glimpse of Bagpuss my daughter's favourite, Peppa Pig, my grand daughter's obsession at the moment and I even saw mine in glorious black and white, Muffin the Mule!

The Google Ads get on your nerves but at least you can close them down.



It was really interesting watching how the video was made here on the BBC's Pudsey website.

  5. You know, I am 46 and still love cartoons like a kid. They bring so many memories. And this video is superb. Some characters I remember but most of all the music, the animation and the light is beautiful. Thanks. It's been a nice moment.

  6. I didn't see any that I knew but then I would not have known them if they were from over here. My kids might.
