Saturday Live hosted a special auction, offering listeners the chance to bid for some amazing prize packages to raise money for 大象传媒 Children in Need. LINES ARE NOW CLOSED - PLEASE DO NOT CALL OR TRY TO BID.

There was a Just a Minute VIP Experience, a Today Programme VIP Experience, a Saturday Live VIP Experience and The Infinite Monkey Cage VIP Experience.

To tell us about what the lucky winners might experience, Richard Coles and Aasmah Mir were joined by Nicholas Parsons from Just a Minute, Mishal Husain from the Today programme and Robin Ince from The Infinite Monkey cage.

They were also joined in the studio by Ian Rankin OBE, award-winning writer of crime fiction and the creator of the Scottish detective John Rebus who he has featured in 20 novels to date. His latest book is Even Dogs in the Wild.

We also heard from the Ty Hafan centre near Cardiff, where young people shared their personal experiences of how they have benefitted from projects funded by 大象传媒 Children in Need and Jess Davies was in the studio discussing her role in the 450 mile Rickshaw Challenge which she completed in 2014, which raised 2.7 million in a week.

Antiques Roadshow auctioneer, Will Farmer, kept us updated on the bids and JP was manning the phones.

We heard the inheritance tracks of Leona Lewis. She chose The first time ever I saw your face performed by Roberta Flack and One Love by Bob Marley.
