Children in Need 2015 is a campaign held in the United Kingdom to raise money for the charity Children in Need. 2015 marks the 30th birthday of the charity's mascot, Pudsey Bear, since 1985, and the 35th anniversary of the appeal which culminated in a live broadcast on BBC One on the evening of Friday 13 November until the early hours of Saturday 14 November. The broadcast was hosted by Dermot O'Leary with Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton, Rochelle Humes and Nick Grimshaw as co-hosts. Shane Richie hosted the period the show was broadcasting on BBC Two.[1] The show was broadcast from the BBC in Elstree but also includes regular regional opt-outs. Terry Wogan appeared in a pre-filmed Sketch and provided a documentary voice over, but was unable to present the live section of the fundraiser due to health reasons, a first since its launch in 1980.[2] Due to Wogan's death in January 2016, Children in Need 2014 was his last appearance as host.
