If you could choose 3 people alive or dead or fictional to read a bedtime story who would you choose ?

I’m choosing superhans from peepshow as one of mine but undecided on the rest

Ooh this is good.

I’d go for Jim Morrison, Toast and Karen Fukuhara. This could change at any time though, apart from Toast obviously.

Rik Mayal – George’s Marvelous medicine on Jackanory was amazing when I was a kid.

Bowie would be pretty cool, would turn in to a bit of a singalong.

Trump, for shits and giggles

Brian Blessed
Richard Burton
Rik Mayall

people alive or dead

You want zombies reading to your children?!!

Mariella Frostrup.

</thread>

Yup.

Ooh that’s a goodun, mine have been listed as

Rick Mayal
Brian blessed
Bowie.

Brian Blessed has done a story thing on the “Another Late Night” and “Late Night Tales” compilations, guest story tellers through the series, odd but enjoyable..

Chris Kamara read the other night, that was more fun than I expected it to be.

Nick Cave
Alison Brie
Samuel L Jackson

Today it was read by Marjorie Tyrell

Cheers

Rik Mayall was the best

I’d take Kenneth Williams, Johnny Morris, and Miriam Margoyles.

I’ll see your Natalie Dormer and raise you Rosamund Pike:

Rik Mayall, Peter Cook and Charlotte Coleman please.

Tom Baker because Tom Baker.

Matt Berry did the Busy Beaver, no longer available unfortunately. I did see it, it was odd.

Did he do it in character as Toast?

Joshua Homme has to be the weirdest real one I’ve seen. Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, ecstasy and kids stories.

No not as Toast per se.

I really want to see it now.

Who the hell is toast !!!?!???!!

+1 for Rosamund Pike – just downloaded an Audible book she narrated – gorgeous voice.

John Laurie – who played Private Frazer in Dad’s Army – loved the episodes where he got to tell a wee ghost story … compelling.

Third would be Alan Rickman.

Who the hell is toast

Morgan Freeman
Nick Frost
The Borg Queen (if its a spooky story)

Can I have Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan from RDR2 rather than the rallyist) reading Arthur the Kid by Alan Coren?

Brian Blessed is a good one! I’d add Nanny Ogg from Discworld and Billy Connolly

Alfred Wainwright (best voice ever)
Joanna Page
Bryan Cranston

Cerys Matthews
Snoop Dogg
Johnny Ball

My Wife still watches when Tom Hardy is on, my youngest is 6 and hasn’t watched them for a while…

In fairness, Tom is very good.

Charles Dance was excellent.

I’d like to see Mike Strutter have a go.

Pussy Galore
Borat
John cooper clarke

Richard Burton

Richard Burton

Richard Burton

James Mason

Emily Blunt

Tim Roth

Just discussing this with a friend and realised I would need to add a sneaky 4th … Audrey Tautou.

R2D2
One of the Aliens fom Mars Attacks
Sweep, from the Sooty Show

Another Tom hardy loving wife in this house.

I was going to say Emily blunt but beaten to it.

Errrmm….Oli Reid would be a giggle.
