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.

I know this may well be heresy but...

... I think that went better than the webchat with The Fonz, don't you?

TheFool, I couldn't cope with the awesome that is Misha on MN. Two of my favourite things colliding. No, it would end me.

Deffo. Chris answered me three times unlike the Fonz who answered me not at all.

Who's next?

He was lovely. And not as frightened as he should have been.

Do you think he's sitting in front of his computer now, unable to switch it off, thinking "WTF??? Who are these women??"

LupusinaLlamasuit · 10/07/2009 14:27

Frightened?

Which young bloke would be frightened by a bunch of middle aged mums slavering over him.

He will be rofling about it to his mates over many beers at the cricket and then we will appear nastily in his comedy routine.

I predict.

And then we will burn shun him.

He answered MorningPaper's questions. And in a charming way.

How many others would have done that?

Hotcrossbunny · 10/07/2009 14:56

Lupus is right. But as he only seems to tour in Wales, most of us wont know if he talks positively or negatively about us.

CC if you're reading this SORT YOUR TOURS OUT! It's not fair for Wales to keep you for themselves

Oh, and I'm still wondering if you'll be the star in a reasonably priced car any time soon. That I would like to see

Oh TheFool, you're right. MN, Misha Collins on next. I'm willing to pay. I have approximately 47p, possibly more if I look under the sofa cushions.

And, er, I'm not middle aged. I'm probably younger than Chris. But if he mocks us at any point, I will sack him as my pimp.

You can't ^sack a pimp. You're his beeyatch now, girlfriend.

Oh poo, DS1 has just pointed out that whilst I was MNing/drooling over CC earlier, DS2 scribbled over our Laura Ashley painted walls with red crayon. How do I explain that to DH?

Report
ShowOfHands · 10/07/2009 15:45

Misha Collins or The Awesome Misha to give him his full title.

Washersaurus, when dh gets home you nip to the loo/out to fetch washing in/upstairs to powder your nose etc. Come back down and screech

"DH look at the farking wall. Can't you watch him for 5 minutes?"

This is without a doubt one of the funniest and most fascinating threads I have ever read.

and yes, Spike, from Buffy, but he has to do his hair white again, not have it dark, and he has to wear the long coat........ sigh!
