As well as raising the global profile of Children in Need, Redmayne is also enjoying massive success with Fantastic Beasts.
Both J.K. Rowling and Eddie Redmayne are long-time supporters of Children in Need – and with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them being released in theaters on the same day as Children in Need (November 18), Redmayne decided to take part in a sketch, featuring the most prominent BBC hosts and characters, including the Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi.
Children in Need also gives the first sneak peek of the Doctor Who Christmas special each year.
Each year, the BBC holds its Children in Need appeal.
