Celebrity voice over

Does this annoy anyone else?

I'm noticing it more and more that celebrities are used for everything!

It really irritates me especially on children's tv. Surely there are lots of young talented people out there who could narrate a cartoon/do the voice but they just don't get the job because a celebrity who is everywhere gets the gig. Why???

And why is the cbeebies story read by 'celebs'? It would be such a good opportunity for young people to get a break.

Drives me mad, feeling inclined to email the BBC to complain.

I quite like the 'celeb' story on Cbeebies. It's good to see someone like Guy Garvey reading a bedtime story!
Agree re adverts, voiceovers on documentaries etc though.
