Overview

• The BBC confirms two one-hour specials will air later this year on BBC One and iPlayer.
• Lord Alan Sugar fronts the special with Baroness Karren Brady and Mike Soutar, who replaces Tim Campbell due to filming dates.
• For the first time in the franchise, a task-created product will be sold in stores nationwide, with a percentage of profits going to BBC Children in Need.
• Filming included a visit to the Children in Need-funded Chickenshed Theatre Trust, where children sampled the biscuits.
• Producers say the supermarket sales will raise vital funds as BBC Children in Need faces high demand for support.
