The Wall recently returned for BBC One for its second series and will be returning to BBC One on 14 November.

Tony Clay spoke of taking part in the special show. He said: “It was very, very enjoyable. It was made more enjoyable by the fact Danny was hosting it. It was a real surreal thing seeing him up there doing it, he really smashed it.

“It’s great to raise money for charity and to do something for BBC Children in Need. We always try and help out where we can. I’m really excited that we won some money for such an important charity.”

Roger Griffiths also emphasised the importance of Children in Need. He said: “Things are bad right now. Things like BBC Children in Need can fall by the wayside because of what’s happening with things like Covid, so it’s really important we pay attention and give as much as we can and do as much as we can.”
