Live webchat with Doodle Do presenter Chris Corcoran, Friday 10 July, 1-2pm

[HelenMumsnet]

Chris Corcoran, presenter of CBeebies' Doodle Do will be joining us for a live webchat on Mumsnet on Friday between 1-2pm.

And, lovely chap that he is, he's recorded a special pre-webchat video for you to watch - see below.

To celebrate Children's Art Week (6-12 July), Chris has joined forces with Haliborange to host a series of exclusive creative master classes for its newly launched Shiny School. Chris has created three imaginative tutorials for Haliborange Shiny School, designed to suit ages 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 years and needing no specialised or expensive equipment. The site gives parents ideas and tips on how to have fun and learn something new as a family, and also provides nutritional advice.

Chris is happy to answer all your questions (within reason!) during this sponsored chat, and will also be giving some creative inspiration for things to do with your children over the summer holidays.

If you can't make it on the day, please feel free to post your advance questions here.

pedantic too

do you get called coooorcoran

Soupdragon of course. Never advise on anything unless you have done it yourself

.

A teacher you say?!

Stick, er Scribble and Arachno.

My friend Alli went up to Chris after a (Rufus Wainwright?) gig in the CIA and started chatting away. She thought he looked familiar and was an old friend.
It was only as she walked away she realised in horror that it was "Doodle do bloke" and that she should have got a autograph for her 3yo!!

were your parents taking the piss with a name beginning with C with a surname like that?

This is the best webchat ever!!!!

Chris - do you get fed up with people recognising you from a kids tv programme rather than a stand up comedian?

dib-dab!!

Oh I've just figured out from this (I think) that you were a HISTORY teacher!

Have gone right off you now

hi ggirl you only need to tap the letter keys once

SOH - DibDab

Chris do you agree that boys are like dogs?

Oh yes I was interested in how you pronounced your surname - you sort of made 2 syllables out of it - more Cockran than I imagined it was said. Is that a teenage nickname or is like Chomondley being pronounced Chumley?

Yes Geography teachers tend to be much better looking IME.

Arachno would be GREAT

I don't think it's right though

Chris, can you tell us more about your World Tour bringing Craft to the Nation Sponsored by Haliborange (not quite sure of details) because I'm sure there are bored hormonal women here who would like to attend

Do you remember IntergalacticWalrus (think it was her name then) harassing you post show drunkenly telling you about mumsnet?

arf

But I'm a librarian by profession. I'd be castigated.

It was so unfair having access to such a super photocopier. You don't know restraint until you've not photocopied your bottom during your lunchbreak.

hi Edwardbitme - yeah it was odd because I thought she was my first stalker. We didn't exchange numbers.

Any questions I had have been answered

Hi Chris

OMG a history teacher? Can I go back to school please? My favourite subject taught by my favourite CBeebies presenter.

I'd like to point out that the mumsnet web chat with Lesley Waters was reproduced on this shiny website business

here

Take a hold of yourselves. We are supposed to be role models for other poor parents.

TheFool - maybe although that wasn't the name she used on the night

I thought Mad Lizzie was that woman who did keep fit on breakfast telly. Or the waether or something?

I'm finding it hard to keep up. Have a piece of hob-nob stuck in my throat.
