TV programmes cost money to produce. There are loads of different roles involved in making a TV programme. Camera crew, director, caterers, key grip, tech guys, runners, security, accountants, legal team, editors etc... I imagine these people are scheduled to work on Children In Need in just the same way as they are for other BBC programmes. Should these people ask not to be paid? Their wages are not taken from money raised by the charity fundraising. They come from the same place as Top Gear and Mr. Tumble. From the staffing angle, Children In Need is a programme like any other.
What has just done my head in is the BBC at first attempted to block the info from being accessed, the cheeky cunts.
You want our cash to fund you then you better believe you should have an open door policy to cost requests.
I doubt anyone would have any real qualms with TV crew getting paid for their time.. they have children in need to feed surely.. But the presenter? who is already incredibly well off? earning a bucket load? Alarm bells should rightly ring..TV programmes cost money to produce.

I couldn't possibly comment on the Beeb's corruptness (Ric would have my bollocks for paperweights if I did). I was actually referring to Wogan collecting his salary in this particular instance, moreso than the whole organisation.Of course it's a corrupt organisation it was head by no other than the Watch collector was it not..
Children in need? Fucking Wogan in-deed! - is it a coincidence that Wogan in an anagram of Wonga? Money grabbers. Blimey, I never knew people were paid on these charity nights :/ Another reason to hate I suppose.
No. You have to speculate to accumulate.Old news or not Karen, does the **** get sick pay? £1,300 an hour good to see your licence fee is being spent wisely...
Staging the event in 2005 £1.2million someones got a decent bank account, thought it was a charity event so everything should be free shouldn't it? BBC corrupt as fuck ..
Please tell us what that second best charitable organisation is..... they will have a CEO, regional managers, head of accounts and HR etc etc etc..... in my last 19 years in the UK I worked for 16 of them with 3 different charitable organisations, 1 local to Manchester and 2 national charities..... all employing many many people....I regularly donate to the second best supported Charitable organisation in the UK outside of the National Lottery.
This is by way of one off donations and then by covenents.
Children In Need is a worthy cause and do a lot of good stuff, but why does anyone get paid? It's a Charity for pitys sake!! BBC I'll present it for nowt!!
