Sushi For Breakfast

There was some Twitter discussion about this last night; Robert Llewellyn (bobbyllew on Twitter) was expressing similar sentiments about the content of the documentary films and it seems that some people took this to mean he was criticising the charity when he clearly was not. I made a point about the quality of the films over the years which he replied to and then kindly retweeted:

I feel similarly re Children In Need; with the exception of recent QI CIN episodes I haven't watched the CIN telethon for many years as there never seems to be anything I want to watch, and the documentaries I see feel rather headpatting than empowering. So I generally avoid BBC1 that night. But, I've seen and read about the projects CIN money supports, fantastic projects which do work and do make a positive difference to children's lives (and their families). So while you may not find me watching CIN, you won't find me refusing to contribute to the fundraising.
