'''''Children in Need 1985''''' was a short sketch during the [[BBC One]] [[Children in Need]] telethon. All the actors were partially in-character and at the end a [[cheque]] for £1,000 was presented by the [[Sixth Doctor]] and a further cheque for £100 was presented by the [[Second Doctor]] from the [[Doctor Who Appreciation Society]].

== Synopsis ==

 

== Plot ==

It is November 22nd, 1985. ''Children In Need'' host Terry Wogan and ''The Sky At Night'' presenter [[Patrick Moore]] walk over to a materialising [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]], with Moore asking the studio audience whether he should open the door, which they encourage him to do. Prior to him doing this the camera cuts to the audience and we see The Man In Blue (Andrew Ross Hay). Patrick Moore opens the door and we then see [[Patrick Troughton]] emerge from the box in full costume blowing a party blower.

In character, Pertwee then intervenes asking whether Troughton had said where the cheque came from. An in character argument then breaks out between Pertwee, Troughton and Baker, with Pertwee revealing that Troughton was told to say it came from one day's showing of the ''Doctor Who'' show in Blackpool. Colin Baker then looks to the audience asking "Who's that?" pointing directly toward The Man In Blue. Fed up of the arguing, Wogan gets into the TARDIS and dematerialises. We then see the audience with The Man In Blue clapping, talking to his friend, and then looking round towards the camera.

* This was the last on-screen appearance of [[Patrick Troughton]] as the [[Second Doctor]].
