CBeebies gave Greg 24 hours to get a million views on Callum Leslie's CBeebies Bedtime Story. Some of the UK's biggest names were called upon to help as the nation watched on... Meanwhile, the mother of bride, Louise attempts Yesterday's Quiz from the wedding-party team, and there's some behind-the-scenes stories of Christmas cheer from the Radio 1 Breakfast Show team.

The mission has begun! Callum Leslie needs one million views to gain a place in the official CBeebies Bedtime Stories studio, where the greats have been seated!

Plus, a special delivery arrives from the Royal Mail, Groom-to-be, Ben plays Yesterday's Quiz and Ali Plumb passes through with his Christmas movie recommendations! It's oh so very festive!

The CBeebies Bedtime Stories team have set a 24-hour challenge for Greg and Callum Leslie, Maid of Honour, Alisha tries her best to score as many points as she can on a Christmas wedding edition of Yesterday's Quiz and strangely, we look back how we've literally grown up with Stranger Things!

In the latest episode of Sausage On A Fork, we're joined by Cerrie Burnell aka Miss Green. Cerrie tells us how she discovered a passion for acting from a very young age; what it was like being a children's TV presenter on CBeebies and why the part she ended up playing on Grange Hill was very different to the part she auditioned for!

In this electric episode, I sit down with the unfiltered powerhouse that is Jasmine Metson Wilkes, who once built a thriving video marketing agency in her 20s… and then burned it to the ground. Why? Because success built inside a toxic system isn't success at all. What follows is a jaw-dropping story of rebirth: From job seekers' benefits to directing documentaries for CBeebies, to now mentoring women in the creative space to build unapologetically audacious businesses that actually feel good. This isn't just a “pivot” story. This is a burn-the-blueprint-and-build-your-own-universe kind of story.

This week, Nigel sits down with Fahim Motahar, an Animator on the Cbeebies show Nikhil & Jay, to discuss his journey from studying journalism to finding his passion in animation - a path that led him to one of the most ground-breaking preschool shows in recent times. We hear how his early love for '90s cartoons and supportive parents, who exposed him to various creative activities across cultures, inspired him to pursue animation as a career. This experience prepared him to join a team of over 30 animators in creating the show's initial 52-episode run. This episode is great for anyone wanting to learn more about the animation process and what it's really like working on a new show for a major distributor. We also get to dive into anime influences along the way!Connect with Fahim online:- Website: https://fahimation-art.webflow.io- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fahimation_art
