The Big Build for Children in Need

In this Children in Need special, the DIY SOS team joins forces with Radio 2 for a mega build in Leeds. Nick Knowles and his team set to work to transform a derelict site into a brand-new base for the young women's charity Getaway Girls. This is one of the show's biggest projects ever, and it's a massive challenge to complete in just ten days.

Radio 2 are on a mission to recruit the hundreds of volunteers needed from their millions of listeners, while a brigade of the station's presenters dons hard hats and high viz. Tea-time presenter Sara Cox, Scott Mills, Rylan, and DJs Spoony and Trevor Nelson get stuck in, shovelling dirt, plastering and painting. Meanwhile, across town, the Getaway Girls choir are preparing a song to perform in front of the volunteers as a thank-you on reveal day.

Singer-songwriter Emeli Sande coaches the girls through their nerves, explaining she was a nervous teenager once too. Finally, the day of the reveal arrives. Zoe Ball arrives in town to broadcast the choir's anthem live to the nation and to get a sneak preview of the spectacular new building.

Before, the Getaway Girls activities had been spread out across town using temporary spaces. Now, the new building in Seacroft provides a much-needed safe space with facilities all under one roof: a music and media studio, counselling and activity rooms, a creche, offices and a garden. Getaway Girls is a Children in Need funded charity. It's been supporting young women across Leeds for 35 years; raising aspirations,
providing opportunities and offering vital counselling and support.

The Chicken Sisters is a family drama dipped in southern charm and served up with a saucy side of romance. The setting is the fictional town of Merinac, where a generations-old rift between dueling fried chicken restaurants – Mimi's and Frannie's – has left the founders' families fractured and the locals taking sides. When popular cooking competition show Kitchen Clash comes to town, this could be the recipe for ending this feud once and for all. But things are fixing to heat up both inside and outside of the kitchen as the reality show spotlight causes sparks to fly as secrets are spilled and feathers get ruffled.
