‘I'm way too excited about this for an adult’ parents won’t want to miss tonight’s CBeebies Bedtime Stories for this iconic reason
The popular children's show will mark a change in its traditions with its latest guest reader
CBeebies Bedtime Stories will look a little different this weekend when its latest star picks up his favourite book to read, and parents are more excited than the kids to see it.
If you know how to get a baby to sleep, but struggle to get your toddlers or children to bed and are wondering Yoto Vs Tonie which is best? you might want to try a CBeebies Bedtime Story as part of their wind-down routine.
The popular children's evening show usually sees celebrities choose one of their favourite stories to read to viewers but this week, viewers are in for an extra treat as there will be a change to the traditional format.
A huge TV star is swapping his scripts for a special book and he's also going to stay in character, reading as the star he is well-known for portraying on a hugely popular BBC show.
David Tennant, star of Doctor Who, is the Fourteenth Doctor and his TARDIS will land in the CBeebies Bedtime Story universe tonight (Friday 24 November), ahead of the first 60th-anniversary special episode of Doctor Who.
And while some parents ask is Doctor Who suitable for kids? David will be reading The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers to families across the UK.
The Way Back Home is a tale all about friendship, adventure and helping others. When a boy discovers an aeroplane in his closet, he does what any young adventurer would do: he flies it into space! Fortunately, there's friendship to be found, and what better way of finding your way back home, than by making a friend?
