[GET THOSE VIDEO RECORDERS AT THE READY]

It's time to dig out those blank tapes as Madness are once again coming live to UK international television.

First up, and tomorrow (Friday 15th) the BBC will be holding this year's "Children in Need" appeal. At approximately 12:30am Madness will be playing live.

The following evening (Saturday 16th) from 9pm Channel Four are running `The Ultimate Chart`. A programme lasting 3 hours. No chart is complete without Madness, and you'll be pleased to know that Suggs and Carl were interviewed for the show.

Many thanks to www.chassmash.com for the above information.
