Charity gala raises twenty grand

Children in Need dinner massive success.

Doctor Who's Galactic Gala Dinner last Friday proved a great success, with over 250 guests raising £20,000 for Children in Need.

Russell T Davies auctioned off artwork, gas masks, and, even a Slitheen Arm for £4,000.

The Galactic Dinner was one of a number of events across the country to raise money for a charity that this year will distribute over £2.6 million to support vulnerable children and young people throughout Wales (£35 million throughout the UK).

David Tennant said: "We always knew it was going to be a fantastic event, but tonight exceeded all our expectations."

Billie Piper said: "Everyone had an amazing night. Thank you so much to all the generous people who were at the Doctor Who Galactic Dinner for BBC Children in Need for raising so much money."

Menna Richards, Controller of BBC Wales, said: "The Doctor Who team made a fantastic contribution towards raising a huge sum of money for Children in Need, but they couldn't have done it without the amazing support of all those Doctor Who fans who bid for prizes and gave so much money to the event."

There was also a raffle.
