David does the most fantastic voices in his stories – I love listening to him. He has a very soothing voice and I almost wish I were snuggling down to go to bed! My fave story he told was Emily Brown and the Elephant Emergency, but the pictures in the stories like Miki, How High is the Sky and The Christmas Bear are so cute.

However, the vampire stories he’s currently telling on BBC Radio 4 every night are a different matter… They give me the chills!

The penguin voice is the one he uses for toothless in the How to Train Your Dragon audiobooks :3

Tingly-tangley tentacles. Timey-wimey ball. Tennant needs to do an audio book of Lewis Carroll or W.S. Gilbert.

I’m going to kidnap Tennant and make him tell me bedtime stories every night. I’d feed him and clothe him and keep him safe and warm! I swear!

I want The Doctor to tell me bedtime stories. Never mind the fact that I’m 27, we could all use them.

I think that section is saying that CBeebies (and maybe other BBC channels, I don’t know) are supported by advertising or subscription for international non-Brit viewers. In the UK, all BBC channels are supplied flatly to all TV owners, I don’t know of any that cost extra on top of that.

(You are legally meant to pay the licence fee if you watch them, as shadowfirebird says, but there’s no subscription model. They can just prosecute you retrospectively if they find you’ve been watching without paying.)

This is what I read about the channel, “It is used as a themed strand in the UK on terrestrial television, as a separate free-to-air domestic British channel and used for international varients supported by advertising, subscription or both. ”

“It’s a channel, one of the only free on the BBC…”

I have no idea what this means, but it’s not likely to be true.

All BBC channels are free-to-air. But everyone in the UK pays a license fee — essentially a TV tax — and the money mostly goes to the BBC. So either all BBC channels are free, or none of them are, depending on how you hold your head.
