For 31 years, Jackanory offered us great yarns told by familiar faces and was as much a must-see as Magic Roundabout. In later years, it transferred to CBeebies and later became Jackanory Junior, but it has always been one of those lovely familiar programmes that is just as much fun for grown-ups to watch along with their kids as it is for the kids to watch by themselves. So whether or not you have kids of your own, or you just didn't grow up yourself, you'll be pleased to hear that Jackanory Junior is coming back next year as part of the Beeb's digital brand for younger viewers.

With a great line-up of famous people to do the reading for us, the show also has a touch of the 21st century about it with some added animations to spur the imagination. Even though the new show has that modern edge, the Beeb reckon they've managed to retain the charm and appeal of the original. Just like always with Jackanory, we'll have to "wait until tomorrow" to find out whether that's true. Click through to find out who will be doing the reading.
