HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY to CBEEBIES and CBBC ...


Yesterday saw the 20th ANNIVERSARY of the BBC's Children's Channels CBEEBIES and CBBC ... Doesn't the time fly! Although I've never worked for any of CBBC's programmes, however CBEEBIES is another matter ...

Having started my working relationship with CBeebies all the way back in 2004 reading 24 'Horrid Henry' stories (60 characters) for CBeebies Radio, then all 12 episodes of CBeebies Radio's very first comedy series 'St. Berks' playing eccentric teacher Mr North and a myriad of other school-based characters. Fast forward to 2007 and I had the great pleasure of reading 8 Classic Children's Stories where I showed off with over 50 characters! In 2008 I performed over a dozen characters in 'Big Cook Little Cooks' final season of their wacky radio show.

A couple of years later (2010) and my first involvement with a CBEEBIES TV show - when I voiced ALL MALE VOICES in the 10 part fantastic natural history based show 'Little Prairie Dogs' then quite the hiatus until 2020 and guess what comes along ..? I was more than delighted to be offered the ONGOING role of EZRA in the award-winning ANIMATED SERIES 'JoJo & Gran Gran', many more episodes to come in 2022 ... can't wait!!

So Happy 20th Anniversary/Birthday to CBEEBIES and CBBC, long may they both continue ...
