[[The BBC]]'s charity and annual
The yearly TV telethon airs in the late autumn on BBC One and involves special musical performances by pop stars, and [[The Musical|West-End casts]] (and, recently, ''the BBC Newsreaders''). It also includes skits and spoofs like [[Comic Relief]], although the focus is more on light entertainment than actual comedy. It is one of the few events where programmes from [[ITV|"the other side"]] [[Enemy Mine|will take part]] (the cast of ''[[The Bill]]'' are game for a lot of things). Includes an annual charity single.

** The 2010 edition gave us ''[[Eastenders|East]][[Coronation Street|Street]]''.
** In 2011, ''[[Dragons' Den|Dragons']] [[The Apprentice (TV series)|Apprentice]]''.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: In 2009, Pudsey was joined by his 'best friend', a female brown bear called Blush, who wears [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|a bow]] made from the same spotty material as Pudsey's eyepatch. She's still not actually used much outside of [[The Merch]] though.
