How does the idea of having a bedtime story read to you by The Doctor sound? How about Martha? River Song? Even The Master or Captain Jack Harkness? Well now you can.

The word CBeebies may look like nonsense to anyone not familiar with the BBC but it is part of the daily vocabulary of most British parents. CBeebies is a BBC channel dedicated to preschoolers and is the only such channel that is available without paying a subscription. The channel airs from 6am - 7pm GMT and the final hour of programming is the Bedtime Hour which ends with a celebrity reading a bedtime story aloud. Each celebrity reads five stories, although only one is aired each night, and most are available to watch via YouTube. Countless celebrities have presented the Bedtime Hour; here are some of the Doctor Who cast reading their stories, have a look on YouTube to hear more.
