We’ve seen many celebrity readers on CBeebies Book at Bedtime and among those have been several Time Lords including David Tennant in 2009 and Christopher Eccleston in 2010, and now the first female Doctor has made an appearance reading Ada Twist, Scientist to children earlier this month.
Whittaker called the experience “an honour” when she made her CBeebies debut on 7th December, just a few weeks ago. If you saw it you’ll known it was a magical experience, if not then we’ve included the reading here so you can watch it now.
She’s simply adorable!
