First ten TV episodes of Coolabi show reworked for CBeebies Radio.
Hit preschool series Clangers is to be reworked especially for radio this summer.
The Coolabi brand will see the first ten TV episodes reworked for CBeebies Radio, launching on the platform on Friday June 30 and airing weekly through the summer until Friday September 1.
The Clangers team has adapted the original TV episodes for CBeebies Radio by re-recording dialogue from narrator Michael Palin, to further tell the Clangers story, as they communicate through their recognisable whistles on the airwaves and carry out daily acts of kindness on their little blue planet.
Jeremy Banks, ceo at Coolabi, commented: “We are delighted to take Clangers into a new format with CBeebies Radio.
“It works extremely well as the show has incredibly talented scriptwriters and, of course ,the show’s narrator Michael Palin is such a wonderful storyteller who truly brings all the action to life.”
Johnny V Leagas, executive producer at CBeebies Radio, added: “I am delighted that we have been able to welcome Clangers to CBeebies Radio.
“This series is an opportunity for children to experience the wonder of life on the little blue planet as an audio offering. We hope that we can encourage little listeners to bring these beautiful stories to life using the power of their own imaginations.”
CBeebies Radio is a daily web-based radio station for preschoolers, while it is also available on the BBC iPlayer Radio App from 6am-10pm.
