BBC WM presenters cook up breakfast treat for BBC Children in Need
|
BBC WM's Phil Upton and Mollie Green are taking their titles of "breakfast show presenters" literally as they trade tunes for spoons and don aprons in a traditional local café to serve regulars with the highly irregular "Pudsey butties".
Phil and Mollie hope the customers at the Rocky Lane Transport Café, Nechells in Birmingham, will not mind forking out some cash to help towards the BBC Children in Need appeal (6.30-10.00am, Friday 14 November).
Phil says: "I'm not usually at home to cook breakfast so this'll be a challenge – but I'm sure Mollie knows which side her butty's buttered so I'm confident we'll make a good team."
Soon after Phil's show, at 10.45am, reporter Cayte Walker is visiting King Edward VI Handsworth School to meet a girl with a truly hair-raising fundraising plan.
Hirsute Taban Hawezi is doing something she's not done in all her 13 years – getting her locks lopped, as her hair currently reaches her ankles!
BBC WM's Les Ross and Ed Doolan come out of the studios and into BBC Birmingham's Public Space in the Mailbox for the Generation Game challenge.
The presenters are competing to find out who has the knack of cake decorating (12.30pm) and later Les takes on Paul Franks at balloon-modelling (3.30pm).
A memory test is sure to deflate the winner, however, as he aims to recall all the items that pass before him on a human conveyor belt.
During the evening Jenny Jones reports live into the Jenny Wilkes Soul And Motown Show (7.00-9.00pm) from the BBC Children in Need free party at Merry Hill in Brierley Hill, which runs from 6.00 to 10.00pm.
Phil Upton and Les Ross host the party and are joined by Ashley Blake and Sarah Falkland who are linking up live with their BBC Midlands Today colleagues on the 6.30pm programme.
Of course, no Children in Need party would be complete without the bear necessity, and Pudsey's presence at Merry Hill means this is no exception.
Party-goers can see the most charitable teddy in town throughout an evening of live stage acts, music and give-aways at Fountain Square, lower mall.
