You'll be able to watch it on BBC One Scotland on Friday, 20 November, then again on the iPlayer for a week after transmission. I'll share more information with you soon but, in the meantime, here are a couple of pics to whet your appetite :)

You can find out more about the Children In Need appeal on the Pudsey Scotland website.

Ditching the bingo did not endear her to the older Shieldinch citizens either plus it seems conversational Portuguese and haiku might not pull in the punters. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out between Eileen and the mysterious Murray though.

Scarlett's haiku was good though - she showed a natural flair!
'Like a leaf in Autumn
She, who has a big head
Falls from a great height.'
Hmm, wonder who this was about?

Meanwhile over at the salon it was battle of the brushes between Jack and Robbie. Loved Robbie keeping watch over Arlene's 'body', and his comment about 'so much for big hair, big horizons, eh?'. Bet there'll be a few more skirmishes between this pair!

Good to see Jo back but what is she thinking of?! I wonder if she and Ewan will get back together... and does Deek fancy this Stella girl? 'You remind me of my mum' is never going to win a girl's heart! Time will tell.

It was nice to see Charlie siding with his sister at last but was that groaning and droning really from the pipes? I wonder if we'll find out what the wailing was all about. Perhaps it's Lenny Murdoch crying into his tea, realising what he's lost. Or is he being haunted by one of his many victims?

Talking of baddies, good on Scarlett and Jimmy for standing up to Michael. Let's hope this is the last we see of him.

Libby McArthur (Gina Hamilton), Gary Lamont (Robbie Fraser), Pamela Byrne (Hayley McCrone), John Comerford (Jack Paterson) and Sandy Welch (Gordon Swan) joined the famous Pudsey bear for today's photocall, along with Miss Scotland and BBC presenters John Beattie and David Currie.

This year's Children in Need takes place on Friday, 20 November, and you can find out all about it on bbc.co.uk/pudseyscotland.

Some River City behind-the-scenes alumni are involved and they promise some well-kent faces on the stage.

"Pub landlady Ruby has more than her fair share of problems. Her poet husband Rabbie hasn't sold so much as a limerick since 1989. Her bohemian sister Pearl has put the moves on her daughter's boyfriend. Her son has joined the Young Tories. Her mother hates Ruby's husband while living under the same roof and her brother, Diamond, seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. And since the bank headquarters next door started making redundancies, the pub is haemorrhaging trade. Now the bank manager is breathing down her neck, and threatening to foreclose on their loan. Is there anything else that can go wrong? You bet."

You'll find more information about this new kind of soap on the Oran Mor website.

When did McCabe get so creepy?! Lydia's done the right thing - she certainly doesn't want to get into business with another gangster, business or otherwise, after leaving Lenny. Meanwhile, does Marianne fancy Mr Murdoch?! What is she up to?

And Scott's mum is just lovely. Her new passion for life is inspiring, a far cry from her dowdy days with Scott's dad.

This is the second time River City has been nominated (the first time was in 2006) and Series Producer, Morag Bain, is delighted for everyone involved in the programme, "It's a great honour. It's wonderful that the hard work of the team is recognised by our peers in the industry. We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed for success this year!"

Visit the BAFTA Scotland website for more information and a full list of nominations.

It was obviously a terribly sad day for the Rossi/Hamiltons but Jo's behaviour is becoming increasingly odd. There are many ways to grieve so maybe this is hers but she seems so cold. And what's she going to get up to in London this time?! The mind boggles.

She's told The Sun all about her new extreme exercising - read all about it on the newspaper's website.
