if Red Nose Day and Children in Need are to continue, they simply need a revamp. For Children in Need, there was an opportunity after the death of Sir Terry Wogan to revamp the show, but it was never done.

Excuses about money mentioned by someone on here are not acceptable, the BBC has a massive budget, and remember back in the glory days of both shows, they found the money to make excellent nights of fun, this excuse shouldn't be used now.

Co-operation with other channels is needed. BBC needs to foster partnership with ITV, Channel 4 and possibly the streaming services to create better content for the telethons, as they did in the past. ITV and Channel 4 used to always get involved with the BBC for both telethons.

Licence fee feezes and the eventual scrapping of the Licence Fee haven't helped though. But as I said a few pages ago, a full on revamp of Red Nose Day would be ideal, and Children in Need too. I used to raise money every other year for Red Nose Day, I did a sponsored silence where I used oversized signs to communicate in school, to the bemusement of my teachers. Raised £150 from it though. Nowadays, I wouldn't even bother.
