When totalising up the money, it totals £1,569,978,236 from 1980 to 2022. Following the closure of the BBC Television Centre, the telethon broadcasts took place at the BBC Elstree Centre from 2013 to 2020. The telethon previously lasted for up to 7 hours, but since 2020 has been reduced to a 3 hour programme from 7pm until 10pm.
