Corden Narrates New CBeebies Series

A British comedy actor, television writer, producer and presenter who is co-creator and star of BBC comedy shows Gavin & Stacey is to take on a new voice role.
James Corden will star as the voice of the narrator in the new pre-school series, Little Charley Bear, launching on CBeebies in January 2011.
Created by Chapman Entertainment, Little Charley Bear is aimed at young children aged up to six years - it is a contemporary, gently-paced show that inspires creativity, discovery and imagination.
It has the feel of a classic children's television show but with brilliant CGI animation by Pinewood-based Annix Studios.
Through imagination, children can learn and develop on a personal, social and emotional level with Little Charley Bear - the way he communicates his ideas, thoughts and feelings through movement and role play can aid and educate children all around the world with visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles.
The Bafta award-winning actor James Corden is also busy beyond Little Charley Bear, with his latest work including The Three Musketeers, Gulliver's Travels, his own sports quiz, A League Of Their Own and a return to the stage at the National Theatre.
Greg Lynn, Managing Director, Chapman Entertainment, comments: "We are absolutely thrilled to be working with James Corden on our new imaginative and playful brand, Little Charley Bear.
"Not only is he an exceptional talent, but his voice is very warm and he creates great humour in every episode - there is a very fun relationship that exists between the narrator and Little Charley Bear," he said.
