BBC Children in Need returns on
Friday, November 14 on BBC One
Northern Ireland from 7pm with a
fantastic offering of stellar
entertainment acts, all appearing to

children and young people across the
United Kingdom.
Terry Wogan is joined by Tess Daly and

BBC Television Centre, London, featuring
some of the UK’s top TV, musical and
theatrical personalities and acts.
Highlights on the night include a special
edition of Strictly Come Dancing, which sees
presenters teaming up with professionals for
a live dance-off. Watch out for some surprise
judges on the night; BBC Children in Need
themed scenes from Doctor Who and Ashes

Albert Square with the cast of EastEnders
and a very special, live performance by the
BBC newsreaders.
