The CBeebies Bedtime Story sofa has hosted some great guest stars over the years – but this week it gets its very first Superman.
Hollywood hunk David Corenswet, the latest actor to wear the iconic blue-and-red-caped suit for the big screen, will deliver a tale to help us all get off to sleep this week.
He will be delivering words from the book What Does Daddy Do? by Rachel Bright, which sees little girl Daisy wonder what her father does all day while she is at nursery.
Of course, David, who makes his debut as Superman in cinemas on Friday, isn't the first superhero actor to deliver a bedtime story.
Others have included
CBeebies Bedtime Story is on weekdays at 6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer. David's story airs on Friday at 6.50pm.

Jared's Lunar lapse

Jared Harris has cider-restricted memories of when man first landed on the moon

He's very much a child of the 20th century space age, yet Jared Harris says he can't remember much about the landmark moment man first landed on the moon in 1969.
The actor, who is about to hit screens in the third outing of sci-fi epic Foundation, told the
Radio
Times: 'My older brother had discovered a bottle of cider and persuaded eight-year-old me to drink some.
'Only it wasn't cider, it was paraffin.
'So we were having our stomachs pumped when Neil Armstrong was walking on the Moon.'
I think he can be reasonably excused from missing the historic feat.
Jared, son of the late hellraising actor Richard Harris, resumes his role as mathematician Dr Hari Seldon in the latest instalment of Foundation, which drops on Apple TV+ on Friday.
The show, which first aired in 2021, is based on Isaac Asimov's novels.
GREAT British Sewing Bee judge Patrick Grant has revealed the BBC One show, which is back next Tuesday at 9pm, has a celebrity fan in the form artist Grayson Perry.
Patrick said: 'I know he's watched it – I've spoken to him about it and Philippa, his wife, certainly is a fan.'

What to watch on TV and streaming today: The Real Project X, In the Footsteps of Killers and The Madness of King George
Bake Off: The Professionals Channel 4, 8pm Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden set challenges for the three best teams from each set of heats. First, they must create six identical plant-based petit gâteaux before tackling hanging showpieces. In the Footsteps of Killers Channel 4, 10pm Emilia Fox and Professor David Wilson turn their attention to the 1994 murder of wealthy Leicestershire businessman Ken Brown, who was shot dead on his farm. But was the tragic incident linked to his private life or his business? 1923 RTÉ One, 10.10pm Jacob and the Yellowstone cowboys deliver some rough justice after saving Jack from the sheepherders. Jacob also insists that the sheep be handed over to the Native American riders, while Teonna makes a stand against the abusive Sister Mary and Spencer falls in love in Kenya. The Madness of King George Film4, 6.50pm Brilliant period drama based on an Alan Bennett play. As physicians battle to find out what is wrong with 18th-century British monarch George III, fears increase among those closest to him that he is going insane. Nigel Hawthorne plays the king, with Helen Mirren as his queen. Trainwreck: The Real Project X Netflix, streaming now It's the weekly episodic that keeps on giving. This time, the good people at Trainwreck recount the fallout from a Facebook event posted by a Dutch teen. In 2012, she posted an invite for her 16th birthday, which accidentally went viral, drawing thousands to the small town of Haren. Inspired by Project X, the unplanned crowd overwhelms the area, and with no preparations in place, things spiral into chaos. ADVERTISEMENT Quarterback Netflix, streaming now Season 2 of the hit series offers rare access to three NFL quarterbacks — Joe Burrow, Jared Goff and returning favourite Kirk Cousins — as they navigate the highs and lows of the 2024/25 season, on and off the field. All The Sharks Netflix, streaming now If you're wondering, 'Why all the shark-related viewing of late?' Well, the simple answer is that we're currently in the run-up to July 14, which is Shark Awareness Day. This summer also happens to be the 50th anniversary of Jaws, so one should expect an inordinate level of shark-themed programming over the coming weeks. A lot of it, however, does seem somewhat at odds with itself. For instance, last week saw the release of Shark Whisperer, which featured a herd of conservationists expressing concern about people, like Instagrammer Ocean Ramsey, interfering with endangered sharks. Now, Netflix is proffering an almost oxymoronic competition show, where conservationists infiltrate the oceans to tick all the sharks off their assigned apex predator bingo cards. If you favour more traditional shark viewing — ie. without a nigh-dystopic gameshow element — Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory has landed on Disney+. Have you ever considered a parallel universe where Idris Elba is the UK prime minister and John Cena is the US president? Well, now's your chance! For context, their 'special relationship' is under threat on account of their huge egos, but — once confronted with a common adversary — the pair must learn to rely on each other.
