Bid for BBC News memorabilia
Children in Need's Pudsey Bear
Join our online auction for Children in Need
For this year's Children in Need, we offered you the chance to own a unique piece of BBC News memorabilia, in a special online auction.

The BBC's TV news presenters donated some of their most treasured possessions, from ties and lucky pens, to a stunning designer dress chosen for Sophie Raworth by Trinny and Suzannah from BBC Two's What Not to Wear.

  • Our Online auction is now closed. We shall be contacting the successful bidders shortly to verify details and arrange delivery.


    Sophie Raworth's designer dress
    Remember when Trinny and Susannah did a make-over on Sophie Raworth from the Six O'Clock News? The results were stunning. Now you can own the Ben de Lisi evening dress they chose for her.


    Sir David Frost's sofa
    Sit in the same spot as some of the most famous bottoms in the world, from Margaret Thatcher to Nelson Mandela. This comfy cream sofa and matching armchair is well worn: it could be seen each Sunday on Breakfast with Frost until a recent re-design.



    Dermot Murnaghan's tie

    Dermot Murnaghan's blue checked tie. Very definitely "as seen on TV", this tie was last on show when Dermot interviewed Lulu and REM's Michael Stipe on BBC Breakfast


    Natasha Kaplinsky's alarm clock
    Signed by the presenter of BBC Breakfast herself - but you don't have to set it to 3.15am, like she does. Natasha has donated her trusty digital alarm clock - let's hope she's got a back-up.


    George Alagiah's pen
    No journalist likes to be without a pen - but we wrestled this from The Six O'Clock News' George Alagiah. It's a Lamy rollerball - and George says it's his lucky pen.


    Sian Williams' Armani top
    Bought on a shopping trip to New York, Sian's black devore Armani shirt is perfect for evening wear. It buttons down the front and can be worn on its own or over another top.


    Breakfast with Dermot and Natasha
    Watch an edition of BBC Breakfast live from the gallery of our studios in West London. And afterwards, you can join Dermot Murnaghan and Natasha Kaplinsky for Breakfast.


    Breakfast's book of celebrity autographs
    A perfect start for any budding autograph-hunter. Celebs include Vanessa Feltz, Helen Fielding and Dougray Scott.


    Anna Ford's YSL jacket
    Become the epitome of elegance and sophistication, with the grey Yves Saint Laurent jacket worn by the One O'Clock News presenter Anna Ford.


    Huw Edwards' favourite opera on CD

    The Ten O'Clock News' Huw Edwards is an avid opera fan. He's donating a CD of his favourite opera - Mozart's The Magic Flute


    Jeremy Paxman's book and tie

    Newsnight's Grand Inquisitor is donating a silk tie - and a signed copy of his latest book The Political Animal.


  • The online auction has now closed. We will be contacting all successful bidders to verify their details very shortly. In the event of any bidder being unable to fulfil his promise, we will contact the next highest bidder.

    You must be over 18 to bid and you will need to pay by cheque, debit card or credit card.

    Proceeds will go to Children in Need, but we reserve the right to deduct transport costs for large items, such as the sofa provided by Breakfast with Frost
