London, April 16 (IANS) Hollywood star Tom Hardy will be reading night-time tales on the long-running series “Bedtime Stories”.
The episodes of the BBC Children’s channel CBeebies will run from April 27 through May 1. The network announced Hardy, who had made an appearance on the show in 2016, will be back in a post on Wednesday, reports variety.com.
Hardy will be reading “Hug Me” by Simone Ciraolo; “Under the Same Sky” by Robert Vescio and Nicky Johnson; “There’s a Tiger in the Garden” by Lizzy Stewart; “Don’t Worry, Little Crab” by Chris Haughton; and “The Problem With Problems” by Rachel Rooney and Zehra Hicks.

“It goes without saying how thrilled we are to have Tom reading more stories for us. It’s during challenging times like this that the BBC serves its purpose to entertain the whole of the UK and these new stories are guaranteed to do just that with their themes of long distance friendship, sharing problems and true courage in overcoming seemingly impossible challenges,” said Cheryl Taylor, head of content at BBC Children.
