The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'.

'''Presenter Challenges'''
'''Presenter Challenges'''


The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won.

'''Other Acts & Interviews'''
'''Other Acts & Interviews'''


Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue.

- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.

- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic''  
- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals  having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.


- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'.   
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally.
