Children in Need 2007 was a campaign held in the United Kingdom to raise money for Children in Need. It culminated in a live broadcast on BBC One on the evening of Friday 16 November, through to the morning of Saturday 17 November. The broadcast was hosted by Terry Wogan and Fearne Cotton, joined by other guest presenters throughout the night. The voice over reading out hourly totals was Alan Dedicoat. The event broke all previous records with a total of £19,089,771 raised by the closing minute. The show's average audience was 9.56 million, a huge amount higher than the previous year's event.
During the customary break for the BBC Ten O'Clock News the 9th episode of the fifth series of QI was screened on BBC Two. The episode, originally shown a week previously on BBC Four, had a Children in Need theme. It guest starred Jo Brand, Bill Bailey, Jeremy Clarkson and Pudsey Bear. Pudsey, using a new rule in the game, opted to swap himself with a member of the audience who turned out to be regular participant Alan Davies. The theme of the episode was "Entertainment".
A second series of Celebrity Scissorhands was shown in the run up to the 2007 event, this year featuring celebrity hairdresser Lee Stafford. The winner was Ninia Benjamin with Aled Haydn Jones as the runner up.
On 5 October 2007, whilst in an interview with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1, Melanie C announced that the new Spice Girls single would be called "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)". On the same day, Geri Halliwell announced the news on GMTV. The single was released on 19 November 2007 in aid of the 2007 Children In Need Appeal.
