Children in Need tends to be a time for actors and other performers to be a bit drunk and forget their lines for charity. For example imagine your countries top 16 most respected new anchors, all ages. Now imagine them dressed as the cast of Chicago blushing and stumbling their way through All That Jazz (this year) or dressed as Queen and howling their way through Bohemian Rhapsody (last year). The regular soap opera goes silly, the regular quiz shows get sillier still.

The whole ethos of CIN is to do silly things for charity like eat a tin of cat food, wax a guys chest, the ever popular bath full of baked beans, so I wouldn't take anything produced by the BBC that day seriously.
