grassangelI know there are people on my friends list who have things about accents and being read bedtime stories. Which I totally do not fault them for, as being read bedtime stories is nice and accents can be cool.
Which is pretty much why I went *FLAIL* over these videos when I found them.
And then there are also John Barrowman ones, except that his accent isn't as awesome.
To confused matters even further, John Simm does some as well INCLUDING a repeat of Winnie the Witch. But he has the nicest story-telling voice out of the three in my opinion. His accent isn't hilarious or vaguely annoying.
I have surmised by all these that the CBeebies Bedtime Stories series is ENTIRELY Parental Service because John Simm is apparently only included because of Life on Mars. (Okay, so some parents just might not like reading aloud/it might be a thing that you leave the telly on loudly after a child's bedtime because sometimes kids just don't go to sleep straight away/you can only have so many read aloud books in your repertoire.)
