It's taken a while since you first asked (last July, to be precise!) but we're inordinately pleased to announce that Something Special presenter Justin Fletcher is coming to the Towers for a webchat on Monday 12 April, 10.30-11.30am.

Justin (AKA Mr Tumble) is a BAFTA award-winning presenter and actor, and won the MBE for services to children's broadcasting and the voluntary sector in 2008.

Hope you can join us but if you can't, please post your question for Justin here.

Hi Thepurplestar

I love going into the CBeebies house as it gives me an opportunity to work with the other presenters. I'm sure I'll be popping up again there soon.

Hi Justin,

just wanted to say thanks for SS. my son loves it and we both love learning the signs, in fact we often do the signs when we see something when out and about. no money wasted on baby signing classes in this house

and also thanks for the Veterinary episode. im a vet nurse and i give talks to pre school age children. i use lots of what you did in that episode in my talks and the feedback from the teachers is fantastic - im always a bit embarrassed to admit that i learnt all my animal signs from cbeebies

thanks justin.x

JustinFletcher · 12/04/2010 11:01

Hi Shanks313

Tell me when you're coming and I'll give the children a big wave.

So diving deeper into your personal life (because yes I have noticed that you have ignored the marital status questions)

Were you anymore than just friends with sarah-jane? Seeing as you shared higgedly house and all....

or more seriously - who is mr tumble going to vote for??

Booboobedoo · 12/04/2010 11:03

Hi Justin - thanks for answering. I work with children too, and have no plans to 'move on' to more adult stuff.

It's inspiring to see someone so obviously committed tp what they do - and doing it so well.

Luvvy question: if you went to Guildford, were you taught by Peter Roberts? He's my hero.

shanks313 · 12/04/2010 11:03

Thanks for answering Justin

The kids are watching you right now..they are obsessed lol,

We will be at the 1pm showing on Dec 27th.Look forward to it

Hi Easterbunnies

I have very little spare time but I like to go to the movies when I can and working in the garden. I built a duck pond yesterday!

imaginewittynamehere · 12/04/2010 11:04

I made Justin laugh.

DD1 will never believe me - she laughs like a loon at Gigglebiz & when I try she just tells me not to be so silly..

JustinFletcher · 12/04/2010 11:05

Hi Booboobedoo

I wasn't taught by Peter but i do know him he's a lovely chap.

MissWooWoo · 12/04/2010 11:05

thanks so much for answering my question justin - keep up the good work. btw grandad tumble reminds me very much of clive dunn ...

JustinFletcher · 12/04/2010 11:07

Hi Scrappydappydoo

Sarah Jane and I are great pals. And if Aunt Polly was willing to stand for election, Mr Tumble would vote for her!

LittleMissNorty · 12/04/2010 11:08

Thanks for answering my question Justin - your neice and nephew are very lucky!

When my 2 watch Hiddledy House in the car, all we hear in the front is "Justin.....Sarah-Jane has an itch".....and the adults laugh louder than the children . Perhaps you should consider TV for adults

fran0326 · 12/04/2010 11:08

Hi Justin,

do you play any musical instruments?

Fran

scrappydappydoo · 12/04/2010 11:08

Thank you and yet still being elusive

foxytocin · 12/04/2010 11:08

Who else can hear Justin's voice when she reads his replies?

mumto3amigos · 12/04/2010 11:08

Hi Justin, I have 3 sons and my middle one has DS. He has severe hearing loss and wears hearing aids and I want to thank you and Mr tumble for helping with his hearing aids as the only way we could get him to wear them was when he was watching you. He adores you and could watch you day and night! Thanks again and keep up the good work!
