History of Children In NeedChildren In Need started with a

short broadcast on Christmas Day 1927. The response of the telethon

was brilliant and raised £1,143. The first ever television broadcast was in 1955 Children’s Christmas

hour appeal presented by Sooty and Harry Corbett. The television and

radio broadcast at Christmas ran up to 1979 raising a total of £625,836

Children In Need appealsIn 1978, Terry Wogan made his first

apperance as a Children In Need presenter.

In 1980 the appeal was broadcast on BBC One in a new telethon format,

hosted by Terry with Sue Lawley and Esther Rantzen. It captured the public's imagination to such an extent that the donations increased dramatically and

broke the million mark for the very first time

The Main appeals from 1980After the first live main appeal in 1980, Children In Need was born. Terry Wogan has been the main

presenter ever since it started but he has been joined by a line up of

presenters called Andi Peters, Fearne Cotton, Joanna Lumley,

Gaby Rosalind and Natasha Kaplinsky.

Where did the name of the bear Pusdey come from?

Pudsey was designed by Joanna Ball, a BBC graphics designer, who

named him after the West Yorkshire town where she was

born.
