Children In Need single revealed: teletextteletext
Vintage characters from The Woodentops, Thunderbirds and The Wombles have lined up with more modern shows such as Postman Pat and Bob The Builder for Children In Needs's 2009 single.Fronted by Peter Kay, the single brings together dozens of characters who perform a medley of rather unlikely hits, including Tubthumping by anarchist act Chumbawamba and Elbow's One Day Like This.Under the name The Animated All Star Band the track, being released for the BBC charity's 30th appeal, features more than 100 characters from shows down the ages.The song also sees the return of much-loved Bagpuss, as well as once more featuring the voice of ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, as the narrator of Thomas The Tank Engine.Kay stars as his animated alter ego Big Chris from hit show Roary the Racing Car, who takes on a Bob Geldof-style role to bring an animated line-up together in the video for the single.Also featured in the video - which took two years to create - are Teletubbies, Ben 10, Bill and Ben, Andy Pandy, Peppa Pig, Paddington Bear and Scooby Doo among others.Comedian Kay, who previously appeared in the video for Tony Christie's Comic Relief hit Is This the Way to Amarillo, said: "Children, parents, grandparents - in fact everybody is going to enjoy this. I can't believe it's come together and I'm extremely proud of all the work and time everybody has given to the project."The track - which is out now on iTunes and will be released on CD on Monday - also features Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop, Take That's Never Forget and The Beatles' Hey Jude during the medley.
