BAFTAs but that was ITV IIRC. He did appear on QI for Children in Need not sure if that was before or after the contract.

Otherwise no.

Money well spent just to keep him OFF the screens! Although he still presents Film 2007

Just read today that Sir Terry Wogan is paid for presenting Children in Need. He go ? 9,065 for seven hours work in 2005.

That's on top of the ? 800,000 they pay him for his Radio 2 crappy show.

It's only licence payers money though so it doesn't matter.

Tel has come in for some flak for this as all the other presenters/artists are doing it for free.
I expect Tel to back down and waive his fee or donate it to Children in Need, a well worthy charity

I love Children in Need, Red Nose Day, Live Aid etc, etc............

I think it's great when a bunch of millionaires get together and tell me I'm not giving enough to charidy.

Well said that man!! And dont get me started on the whole "Lets send the money to Africa." 2000 years sat around waiting for some cunt to go and build them a well. When people who have worked all there lives in this country are stuck with third rate health care and a pension that only just pays the milk bill!!

Especially when they fuck off to a Tax Haven so they don't have to pay tax on their millions like Bonio and The Hedge.
