Last year’s BBC Children in Need raised a £39 million, its highest total to date.

The campaign was promoted by actress and recent celebrity Master chef winner Lisa
Faulkner, Children in Need mascot Pudsey and best friend Blush by making some calls
from a classic red phone box in Parliament Square and other London locations.
