The Rickshaw Relay Rides Again
The Rickshaw Relay rides again for BBC Children in Need in this one-off special. As the challenge enters its twelfth year, Matt Baker and a team of five young people, all of whom have been supported by projects funded by BBC Children in Need, take on a relay-style ride through their hometowns and other places across the UK that hold a particular significance for them.
The programme also celebrates the history of this much-loved BBC Children in Need staple, while at the same time raising life-changing money for the charity as part of its 2022 appeal.
Weatherman Walking for Children in Need
Derek Brockway gets walking for Children in Need.
On his nine-mile hike between Wrexham and Hope Mountain, he meets local people and explores the landscape. He also learns about some of the projects that are supported by Children in Need all over Wales.
There's a challenge, too: Derek wants Pudsey to show off some top dance moves at a celebratory party on top of the mountain at the end of the walk, but Pudsey's repertoire is limited to waving and doing ‘thumbs up'. Dance phenomenon The Matsena Brothers are called in to help, but can they teach Pudsey the moves in time?
