Default BBC Children in Need - Don't Stop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIdPS3PdeV8

At about 1:25...

Children in Need is the BBC's annual telethon to raise money for disadvantaged children around the UK. They usual release some sort of charity single, and this year the comedian Peter Kay arranged for cartoon characters / children's TV characters to sing a medley of songs. Don't Stop is one of them. Utterly bizarre, but all for a good cause.

I wonder if Christine had to give permission?

I am a big fan of Fifi and the Flowertots (I watch it with my great nieces) so it was good to see her with all the other "greats" of childrens TV on Peter Kay's video. Don't Stop was the icing on the cake with Pudsey Bear doing a great solo. Actually I bloody hate Pudsey Bear. I would like to thump him so he would need a bandage on his other eye. (I am a bad person)

I hope Christine donated her royalties - or maybe she doesn't get royalties from Don't Stop any more.

I agree about Pudsey. He is omnipresent at this time of year.

I am not sure about the royalties. I seem to remember Christine sold an interest in some of her songs off to a Japanese company about 20 years ago, but I would imagine that the rights will revert/have already reverted to her after some considerable time.

It appears she has waived her royalties for this one.

I only caught the end of the Don't Stop segment on Friday so bought the EP on iTunes yesterday and have just watched it for the first time. This is a must have for all FM fans, the best cover version ever of an FM song The only thing missing was Animal playing the drums in Don't Stop.

There's a wikipedia page here. Christine was missing from the list of songwriters so I had to add her in

It's gone to No. 1 on the UK singles chart. A first for "Don't Stop"?!

I agree. Christine should speak to the Nation!

Shall I email her manager with our congratulations?

Yes, indeed. Just because she's retired doesn't mean HE has to retire too. This is why she should have a website, to take note of things like this. Michele

I sent him an email late last night. I sent it on behalf of all of us to congratulate Christine on the Children in Need medley (including Don't Stop) getting to number one

I'm not holding my breath for a response
