Programme Information

BBC Red Button launched more than 10 years ago and is currently used by 12 million people a week. Pressing the red button on any BBC digital TV channel (available on Freeview, Freesat, Sky or Virgin Media) gives free access to a whole host of extra entertainment and information.

As well as the latest news, sport and weather, there's lots of other fresh content ranging from digital text services such as travel information or lottery results, to great extras and enhancements to favourite BBC shows. There may be exclusive music sessions, play-along quizzes or chances to select different live events – some with alternative audio commentaries, or access to behind-the-scenes video.

This dedicated section in Programme Information will keep viewers up to date with the latest red button content from the BBC.

BBC Children In Need

To support the packed 2010 BBC Children In Need schedule, Sky viewers will be able to donate via their red button. Last year, an impressive £318,417 was donated this way.

The BBC Children In Need application enables viewers to donate using a debit or credit card. It will be available on the days before and after the TV programme on Friday 19 November as well as during the main appeal show itself.

You can find out more about BBC Children In Need and donate at www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey.

Top Gear Quiz

The Red Button Top Gear Car Quiz gives fans the chance to test their motoring knowledge against the clock.

Pressing red takes users to a unique application with embedded questions that will tax even the most avid car enthusiast.

Available from mid-November 2010.

Miranda

Viewers can press red after watching Miranda on BBC Two and find extra clips from the comedy series. Each week, Miranda Hart interviews guests on her sofa, from different characters to people that have influenced the writing of the show.

In the first episode of the new series viewers are introduced to Stinky, the head girl at Miranda's school and, after the show, red button viewers can watch Miranda chatting to her real-life head girl, BBC presenter Clare Balding, on her sofa.

Episode five in the series is a special two-hander between Miranda and her onscreen mother, Penny (played by Patricia Hodge), so BBC Red Button viewers will see an exclusive interview with Miranda and her real-life mother.

Available from mid-November 2010.
