There's no EastEnders episode tonight, but don't expect Albert Square to be absent from your screens. This year's Children in Need once again comes from the set of the soap in Elstree, while Walford's Danny Dyer will be performing as part of a dance medley of 80s movie classics.

And don't forget, that there's also a host of other treats in store on the night (BBC1, 7.30pm) including a preview of this year's Doctor Who Christmas special, a Team GB Strictly Come Dancing, plus an appearance from Bake Off's Mel and Sue...
You can watch Danny Dyer in action below.
