How a hit single for Children in Need was crowd-sourced in just ten weeks.

How four online video legends had just ten weeks to crowd-source a hit single for Children in Need, blagging everything from BBC Switch viewers and the internet community.

This extended episode tells the strange story of how four online video superstars attempted to hijack the charts for charity.

Johnny, Jimmy, Charlie and Alex had just ten weeks to crowd-source a hit single for Children In Need. The Chartjackers were given no money, had no music industry experience, and were not allowed to write, record or perform the single themselves: every aspect - from title to lyrics, from musicians to producers - was blagged from the BBC Switch audience and the wider internet community.

Featuring four ordinary lads from the UK achieving the extraordinary through the power of the internet, it has more singing, more air guitar and more crowd-surfing than should be possible in a Chartjackers episode.
