Synopsis

Terry Wogan continues to raise money for BBC Children in Need with stunning 'Money Can't Buy' auction packages.

In today's 'Money Can't Buy' auction for BBC Children in Need, Terry Wogan gives two friends the chance to bid for a luxury make-over with the fabulous fashionista Gok Wan. There's also a chance to have a singing lesson with the fastest-selling mezzo-soprano to date Katherine Jenkins, or get a glimpse behind-the-scenes during filming of 'Larkrise to Candleford'; a VIP lunch with three national treasures - Maureen Lipman, Michael Palin and Terry Wogan; or steam ahead from London to York by riding on the footplate of The Tornado (the last steam locomotive to be built in Britain since 1960).

Call 0500 22 11 22 to make a bid. Calls are free from most landlines. Some networks and mobile operators will charge for these calls.

Terry hosts the 'Money Can't Buy' auction for BBC Children in Need from 8am-9am on his breakfast show from Monday (16th) until Thursday (19th November). This will be his last auction as presenter of the Radio 2 breakfast show as he leaves the Breakfast Show at the end of the year.
