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.

SoH if CC has made you prostitute yourself does that technically make him your pimp?

Jools78 · 10/07/2009 13:53

Hillarious, morningpaper!

Hotcrossbunny · 10/07/2009 13:54

Ooooh, please do a Doodle-Do sitcom thing, just with you and spiders, after the watershed. Would be very popular

Cappuccino · 10/07/2009 13:54

I cannot get through a whole summer holiday drawing faces onto fruit

do you have any other ideas?

TheFool · 10/07/2009 13:54

InmyheadIminParis · 10/07/2009 13:54

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO SECOND SERIES?? (sorry for shouting) Surely some mistake?
You can tell some of the puppeteers comments have really tickled you (and us... but that's another story).
Please tell us you're going to be doing something else for cbeebies? Or have I missed a huge part of this thread?

Simples · 10/07/2009 13:54

am watching the thing on Youtube

Lol at " you might want the mums and dads to have the permanent pens"

morningpaper · 10/07/2009 13:54

caeoli: Two pairs of socks? You don't have to look from the waist up?

Simples: You are so rude. He is undoubtedly paid in One-A-Day Vitamins and as many housewives as he can eat

Dumbledoresgirl · 10/07/2009 13:54

So there has only been one series of Doodle Do? Does that mean the BBC didn't like it or you didn't?

Also, that means you are talking about something you did years ago (my kids haven't watched CBeebies for at least 2 years). Are you pissed off that we are all asking you about something you did so long ago and we have little idea what you have been doing to pay the mortgage ever since?

ShowOfHands · 10/07/2009 13:55

Chris, I've snagged my fishnets on my thigh high boots. Is there a crafty way of repairing them or can I turn them into an alternative sock puppet for a preschooler? I await your advice with anticipation.

TheFool · 10/07/2009 13:55

that would be great - you could have random friends visiting you in your loft.

Why are you in a loft btw?

InmyheadIminParis · 10/07/2009 13:55

meant pleasure of having an answer from cc - not pleasure at no second series, natch.

ChrisCorcoran · 10/07/2009 13:56

lissielou- sophie 'posh' thingy who reads the news. And Jeremy Clarkson

LupusinaLlamasuit · 10/07/2009 13:56

Oh god yes. Do an adult version.

caeoli · 10/07/2009 13:57

just been reading some earlier posts as only just joined in. what's with all the spider talk. aren't they hands or am i just slightly mad????????

morningpaper · 10/07/2009 13:57

You know we would know more about your current projects if you had TWITTER and a WEBSITE

I mean my mother does more social networking than you

slug · 10/07/2009 13:57

Keep up Chris, keep up!! Is it you who is doing the typing or Scribble?

Cappuccino · 10/07/2009 13:57

again, re smart

(doggedly rants on about craft)

if you can draw a cathedral with watercolours you're not really in the same league as everyone else

ThePhantomPlopper · 10/07/2009 13:58

Have you ever considered doing a show on the Isle of Wight? The last 'comedians' we had down here were the fecking Chuckle Brothers.

Hotcrossbunny · 10/07/2009 13:58

You could push them down the loft ladder if you didn't like them! I vote John Barrowman for first guest - stick would be beside himself

Dumbledoresgirl · 10/07/2009 13:58

LOL mp, maybe he has a real life?!

sockmonkey · 10/07/2009 13:58

I made the boys some doodled-do spiders for christmas a year or so ago from some fluffy gloves and stuff they were that desperate for merchandise.
Chris - get on to you agent and get a 2nd series and some toys organised. Tell 'em Mumsnet made you!

ChrisCorcoran · 10/07/2009 13:58

Inmyhead... no second series I doubt, everything stick said off camera was funny, scribble said 'jupiter' a lot which was hilarious! I doubt I'll do anymore cbeebies but never say never.

ChrisCorcoranIsMyPimp · 10/07/2009 13:58

Settled down for a webchat, got a new career.

Thanks!

RachelMumsnet · 10/07/2009 13:59

Just spoken to Chris and he's going to hang around for another ten minutes (such is his enjoyment) and then he'll have to head off - so get your questions in quick...
