"Our nationwide hunt for Britain's best amateur storyteller"
At TalkTalk we're passionate about communication. However, in a recent survey we discovered that 57% of British adults fear that reading bedtime stories to children is in danger of dying out, so we decided to launch a campaign to find a narrator out there to breathe life back into this great family institution and celebrate the art of talking. So, if you think you've got what it takes, submit your entry now and stake your claim to be Britain's best amateur storyteller!
The results are in! Visit our blog for the full list of winners and to listen to Bernard Cribbins' thoughts on the finalists. Thanks to everyone who entered the competition.
Bernard Cribbins is one of the nation's best loved actors, having appeared in numerous plays, films and television shows, including Doctor Who, Last of the Summer Wine and Coronation Street. He is best known for narrating the classic animated series The Wombles.
