David Tennant takes a break from time travel to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story

The Fourteenth Doctor and his TARDIS will land in the CBeebies Bedtime Story universe tomorrow (Friday 24 November.) Ahead of the first 60th anniversary special episode of Doctor Who, the Fourteenth Doctor – David Tennant – 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?

The Doctor joins many other famous faces to have read a CBeebies Bedtime Story including Tom Hardy, Harry Styles, Guz Khan, Jodi Whittaker, Kate Winslet and Rose Ayling-Ellis. CBeebies Bedtime Story is on each weekday at 6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.

The first of three special 60th celebratory episodes of Doctor Who airs this weekend on BBC One with the first edition this Saturday, (November 25th) taking viewers on an otherworldly adventure in space and time. The Star Beast sees the Doctor and Donna come face to face after all these years, but just how, and why, is about to be revealed.
