Sorry for the preponderance of Stuart Hall there. As you can see, the news was included within the programme, and overnight there was quite a lot of pre-recorded fare, including a film which I remember was voted for by readers of the TV Times. You can see there's a service on Sunday morning but they continue through the God slot. That Disney Club sequence, as I say, was clearly pre-recorded, there was always a kids bit in the morning, in 1988 Gaz Top presented it and I remember being shocked in 1990 when Andy Crane appeared to announce he was joining Motormouth! I remember the Blind Date bit was sponsored by Safeway and they mentioned all the kids were kids of Safeway employees, this in the very earliest days of sponsorship.
The other Telethon connection there is that Give A Little Bit by Supertramp, as seen on The Chart Show, was re-released as the official Telethon single, but it failed to chart.
