With the BBC's annual fundraiser, Children In Need, now on our screens for another year, follow along with our live coverage of the appeal show

Good evening and welcome to NationalWorld's live blog of Children In Need 2023. We'll be here until 9pm covering some of the highlights of the show, including the 'Dr Who' special and 'Puppet MasterChef.'

Of course, with live TV being live TV, we'll also keep our eyes on any slip-ups or bloopers that might become the talking point over coffee when returning to work on Monday morning.

The Children In Need appeal last year raised £51 million - will we see an advance on that when the final count is complete?
