I'll be recording the best bits of this tonight and uploading them to the link below. So far I've put the Doctor Who skit up and will add more as it goes through the evening. There's a good lot of potentially great stuff to come...

Cheers. I remember some funny stuff from years past, so hopefully this will be good too

ok, that's all the bits I could get now added. Last bit is the 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' special, that proved how dangerous live TV can be... haha There was a trailer earlier that said there was a Qi special featuring Jeremy Clarkson but I think that must have only been shown in England.

The best bits for me were, without a shadow of a doubt, Runrig and Annie Lennox. Both Scottish coincidentally, hmmmm

If its no Scottish.... it's CRAP!

(Does anyone else remember that from Saturday Night Live???)

I thought the Never my the Buzzcocks episode was especially poor! Otherwise I thought the stuff was pretty good!

haha yeah

And Lost, you're right about the Buzzcocks being crap - it really showed how easy it was to ruin a simple idea... Tony Blackburn was a bit peculiar eh? haha

A WASTE OF SPICE
By Katie Hind Katie.Hind@People.Co.Uk

The Spice Girls' new Children In Need single is such a flop the proceeds would not even buy Victoria Beckham a handbag. Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) sold just 6,000 copies in its first-week - and with 50p a time going to the charity, raised a measly £3,000. One of Posh's beloved Hermes Birkin bags sets her back £8,000 - more than twice as much.

The Spices' comeback single is a huge contrast to their 1998 hit Stop, also a Children In Need release. It sold 200,000 copies and raised £100,000. Children In Need bosses are stunned that the five-piece, who split in 2000, are being snubbed by record buyers this time. Writers Richard Stannard and Matt Rowe are also said to be shocked at how unpopular their song is proving to be.

A source said: "Nobody knows why it has bombed. It's for charity and everyone thought it would sell a lot better."

6000 copies? I wonder how many it would have sold if it wasn't for charity!?

Ok, I'm going to admit it...I like their new song Headlines. Since I've already set myself up I might as well admit to popping in their CD during my housework, I really, really, really wanna zig a zig ah. I liked the Eastenders bit especially since I am a huge Beatles fan and love the Sgt. Pepper soundtrack.
