The BBC has just announced a range of programmes for younger children scheduled to air throughout the year.
Heading the lineup comes Rastamouse — narrated by Reggie Yates — a colourful, musical animation based on the acclaimed books by Genevieve Webster and Michael De Souza.
Also coming soon is Mr Bloom’s Nursery, which urges children to roll up their sleeves and learn valuable life lessons through the wonders of vegetable gardening; Raa Raa The Noisy Lion, a delightful new animation about a little lion who’s just finding his voice; and Little Charley Bear (voiced by James Corden) which is designed to fire young children’s imaginations.
Laughs are almost guaranteed, with kids favourites such as Gigglebiz — starring the multitalented Justin Fletcher — making a comeback, along with Timmy Time, Octonauts and Waybuloo.
Online, children will learn about languages while enjoying Talkie Time and The Lingo Show.
Big celebrity names lending their voices and faces to a range of CBeebies shows include James Corden (Little Charley Bear), James Bolam (Grandpa in My Pocket), Reggie Yates (Rastamouse) and stars including Sheila Hancock, Kimberley Walsh and Sanjeev Bhaskar (Bedtime Stories).
This range of quality programmes, along with other favourites, continues the BBC’s commitment to children’s television and online sites. The BBC’s recent Strategy Review made the provision of quality children’s programming one of its top five editorial priorities.
