I'm sure I recognise the voice but there's no credits either before or after the programme

god the theme tune goes round and round my head - too many words sung too quickly, sort of stumble through them, get to end and do an emphatic 'Down in Big Barn Farm'.

Petal = Gemma Harvey source

Music composed by Peter Miller and Ian Porter source

Can't locate anything about the narrator though.
I think Music vocal may be Neil Morrisey, though hard to tell.

mcnoodle The theme music is diff at the start and end of the prog - that doesn't help learning the words!!!

Definately sounds like Neil Morrisey. And would like to point out that today was the 1st time I've ever heard it, just wanted to make it clear I'm not an addict of the show!

you see I reckon if it was Neil Morrissey they would have his name all over the credits. Mmm how can I know for sure?? Can't believe something so trivial is bugging me so much

Surely it's Dominic 'Zorst from Space Pirates' Byrne, isn't it?

This has been bugging me too.
I even emailed the production company PR dept, but no reply....

The boys had it on today, and no, it's definately not Neil Morrissey, but definately a familiar voice.

drdad, definately not Dom, I'd recognise his voice instantly, and they'd have gone on & on about it on Chris Moyles if it was him!

Macdog, I nearly texted AQA, but decided probably best not to waste a pound on it.

lol. I wondered this morning if it was Dominic Byrne too although the theme tune is definitely sung by someone different to the narration I reckon. Can't believe you emailed the production company, although am very relieved someone else is as sad as I am

I have stopped short at watching lots of cbeebies progs on the iplayer, but could it be Mr Maker?

I think you may be right 2shoes. Was laid in bed this morning listening very carefully to the voiceover & then Andy was the presenter afterwards, good call. (shit! have I just admitted to letting the boys put cbeebies on while I get a little extra rest in the morning! ) Think the theme tune is Neil Morrissey though.

I don't think it's Andy doing voiceover or Neil Morrissey singing theme tune, sorry guys. I have a freaky talent for picking up on voices and i don't pick up either of those two but i will do my best to find out who does do it as it will drive me mad till i do!

I vaguely wondered if it was Stephen Tompkinson doing song.

(Still no reply from production company....)
