Children in Need 2013 is a campaign held in the United Kingdom to raise money for the charity Children in Need. 2013 marks the 33rd anniversary of the appeal which culminated in a live broadcast on BBC One and BBC Two on the evening of Friday 15 November until the early hours of Saturday 16 November. The broadcast was hosted by Sir Terry Wogan, with Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton, Zoe Ball and Nick Grimshaw as co-hosts.

The show was broadcast from the BBC in Elstree but also includes regular regional opt-outs. The 2013 appeal marked the first Children in Need broadcast from BBC Elstree Centre after the closing down of the show's previous home Television Centre. Its new studio, adjacent to the set of EastEnders enabled the show to include live segments and performances from the fictional Albert Square [1] including star interviews in The Queen Victoria Pub hosted by cast member Shane Richie.

Children in Need broke a record raising the highest amount in Children in Need history, £5,000,000 more than its previous telethon, by raising a total of £31.1 million on the night. The campaign for the year ended in July 2014 when it was announced that the entire campaign raised £49.6 million. [2]

Telethon

The culmination of Children in Need was the live telethon broadcast on BBC One on 15 November from the BBC Elstree Centre. [3] Viewers could donate throughout the night by telephone, online, the 'iPudsey' mobile app or at a later date from amenities such as banks or by post. [4]
