Helen Thomas , Head of BBC Children in Need, said:

We couldn't be more excited to have Outnumbered back on the BBC for a special Children in Need episode. The Brockmans are back causing chaos with their trademark wit and warmth. It's fantastic to have such esteemed talent involved and we're delighted they are helping us raise vital funds to support disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

The Outnumbered special for Children in Need will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Friday 18th November.
