Tom Hardy is returning to the wonderful world of bedtime storytelling with yet another appearance on CBeebies Bedtime Stories<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The famed actor is back with a brand new tale, this time celebrating the 75^{th<\/sup> anniversary of the National Health Service.<\/p>\n}

Hardy first appeared on CBeebies back in 2016 for the New Year\u2019s Eve edition of the early evening show, and it\u2019s safe to say that Hardy\u2019s storytelling went down a treat with listeners.<\/p>\n

Since 2016, his CBeebies Bedtime Stories have been streamed an impressive two million times on BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/p>

Hardy\u2019s next appearance will take place on Wednesday 5th July 2023, where he will read Zog and the Flying Doctors by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.<\/p>\n

The story will follow \u201cPrincess Pearl, Sir Gadabout and their trusty \u2018air ambulance\u2019, Zog the dragon, as they fly around and tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a distressed unicorn and a sneezy lion,\u201d according to the synopsis.<\/p>\n\n<p>But that\u2019s not all \u2013 Hardy\u2019s appearance on CBeebies Bedtime Stories next week is only the first of six new stories he\u2019s recorded. They were all shot in his garden alongside his French bulldog, Blue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/graham-norton-wheel-of-fortune-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Graham Norton to host Wheel of Fortune as game show returns to UK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/gavin-and-stacey-the-voice-kids-neil-baby-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Gavin & Stacey\u2019s Neil the Baby star auditions for The Voice Kids<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hardy is just one of the famous slew of faces that have appeared on CBeebies Bedtime Stories over the years, with the likes of <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/steve-carell-cbeebies-bedtime-story-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Steve Carell<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/harry-styles-cbeebies-bedtime-story-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Harry Styles<\/a> and Strictly Come Dancing and EastEnders star\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/rose-ayling-ellis-sign-cbeebies-bedtime-story-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Rose Ayling-Ellis<\/a>, who told her story using British Sign Language.<\/p> <div class=\""brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\""embed__intrinsic"\"> <div class=\""brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6329903379112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\""default"\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\""video-js"\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\""\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js"\"\/> <p style=\""font-weight:\"><strong>CBeebies Bedtime Stories is on each weekday at 6:50pm on the CBeebies channel, and is also available on\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/b00jdlm2\/cbeebies-bedtime-stories"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>.
