Louisa's experts helped Pudsey

Pudsey and Lou joined forces for Children in Need at Templars Square

In Pictures: Louisa's CiN experts

Every week Louisa Hannan has a selection of experts from across the county to help you find the answers to life's little problems.

Whether it is consumer advice, computer problems, pet worries or an out of control garden, we are here to help!

Usually, they are in the studio and you call them to ask their advice, but for Children In Need, we gave you the chance to meet them face to face.

100's of people went to Templars Square Shopping Centre and raised over £1000.

If you were unable to make it on 20th November, do not worry as our experts come into the studio regularly and you can put a question to them on the phone on 08459 311 111 or email us your question.

Louisa said "It was great to meet up with so many of our listeners who had questions on a huge range of subjects. We were really pleased with the response and the money they donated. Eric had a constant queue with some interesting items in bags and boxes. He was brilliant!"

Louisa and Pudsey have a cuddle whilst Malcolm Boyden waits his turn

Pudsey made a star appearance with BBC Oxford Presenters Malcolm Boyden, Joel Hammer, Wesley Smith, Phil Mercer and Will Banks. The experts enjoyed it as well with many commenting on how good it was to finally meet up with the rest of Louisa's team as they usually only get to meet her one at a time. "It was like a family reunion", said Louisa.

BBC Oxford also organised a night at the Oxford Greyhound Stadium, a Childrens Party at the Spiceball Leisure Centre in Banbury on Friday evening live on BBC1 hosted by Wesley Smith, and a Get Active walk around the Cumnor area with Phil Mercer and the CSV team.

On the night, Oxfordshire contributed £103,645 to the £20,309,747 national total, and the money is still coming in. It is not too late to find out more about The BBC's Children in Need appeal and make a donation by clicking here.
