Kids today can be so demanding, but for once it's not the latest iPod accessory you're being asked to fund as Sarah Kennedy launches Radio 2's Music Marathon for BBC Children in Need, giving listeners the opportunity to request their favourite tracks. The music continues throughout the day in Wake Up to Wogan (above), Ken Bruce, Jeremy Vine, Steve Wright and Chris Evans, concluding at 7pm - when Pudsey the Bear begins working his magic on BBC1. Celebrity guests will be popping in, too. Details of how to nominate your favourites can be found to the right of this column.
