Your opinion is noted dakota but fortunately it is in the minority. There are hundreds of 'celebraties' drawing more who possess zero talent (TOWIE, the Chelsea thing, the Jungle farce and many others). If Tel did take a cheque for the job, and I wonder where your info came from, he earned it. He was the most talented broadcaster during my life time and made thousands of people feel good.

Indeed there are hundeds of low talent celebs drawing more but they were not involved in presenting a fund raising charity event where others gave their time for free
Here is one source of info

It seems he was paid just over £9000 for doing the Children in Need show each year, but said he would gladly do it for free.
The fee came from the BBC and not from the C in N charity.
The BBC described it as a token amount.......which actually says a lot about the BBC's grip on reality.
Other presenters only claimed 'expenses'.......again, these would probably amount to what most would call a very good day's pay.
Why on earth do the BBC behave in such an oafish, insensitive way? Yes, they do have a 'money no object, plenty more where that came from' mentality.......but do they have no common sense at all?

I should add.......please don't left the idiotic, insensitive behaviour of the BBC detract from the superb work that Terry did........his achievements as the driving force behind his charity far outweigh any attempt to grab a headline by a third rate rag.......
