Radio 4 BBC Children in Need auction; Katie Melua

Katie Melua joins Richard Coles and Aasmah Mir. She talks about her childhood from Georgia to Belfast and London, her music, and she describes how the late Sir Terry Wogan championed her career and how she has released this year's official BBC Children in Need single in his honour. Saturday Live hosts Radio 4's BBC Children in Need auction, offering listeners the chance to bid for some amazing prize packages to raise money for BBC Children in Need. Auctioneer, Will Farmer is on hand to update the bids. Jonathan Agnew describes The Test Match Special VIP Experience at Lord's; Corrie Corfield reveals life Behind the Scenes at BBC Radio News, and Barry Cryer, talks about I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Experience, including the legendary Mornington Crescent. LINES ARE NOW CLOSED - DO NOT CALL OR TRY TO BID.

We hear from children who have been helped by projects supported by Children in Need. Anna Bailey visits an equine therapy project, Taking the Reins. Poppy tells Aasmah how her visits to the Shakespeare Hospice have helped her to deal with the loss of her dad; and Richard catches up with Luke, who's been supported by Stick 'n' Step, and is en-route from London to Glasgow, as part of The One Show's Rickshaw Challenge.

(If you are listening to this on demand competitions may no longer be running.)

And Nick Knowles shares his Inheritance Tracks: Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens and Synchronicity II by The Police.

Fields of Gold is out now. Katie Melua will give her first television performance of the song on the BBC Children In Need Appeal Show on November 17. DIY SOS - The Million Pound Build for Children In Need will be on BBC One on November 15 at 8pm.
