Comic Relief and Children in Need join forces for the first time to deliver a very special night of television during these unprecedented times. The Big Night In brings the nation an evening of unforgettable entertainment in a way we've never seen before. More importantly, it will also raise money for and pay tribute to those on the front line fighting Covid-19 and all the unsung heroes going that extra mile to support their communities.

Holly Hamilton joins Pudsey to catch up with all of the local fundraising, and Eamonn Holmes looks back over the last 40 years of Children In Need.

Live from Pacific Quay in Glasgow, Scotland marks 40 years of Children In Need with a show hosted by Jackie Bird and featuring music from Glasgow's Del Amitri and Edinburgh-born Bow Anderson. There is comedy from some of our favourite policemen and women from the Scot Squad and lots more, including visiting some of the projects and people who benefit from your generosity.

Kiri Pritchard-McLean presents the annual BBC Wales Children in Need show.
