Written by Jason Byrne, Karl Harpur, Alison Spittle, Bernard O’Shea and Sinéad Quinlan; the stories are hilariously reimagined with lots of funny and silly twists.
With a large dollop of Irishness these refreshed tales like ‘Cinderellas other Fella’ and ‘The Elves and the Loo Maker’ and ‘Humpty Mumpty’ are read in true Jackanory style by Jason Byrne, Deirdre O’Kane, Bernard O’Shea, Doireann Garrihy, Sinéad Quinlan and Baz Ashmawy.
Each tale is brought to life with a dash of top notch funky and colorful illustrations and animation helping the humour along the way.
Monday 25 April – Episode 11 – Snow White & The Three Bears

Thursday 28 April – Episode 14 – The Princess and the Bean
‘The Princess and the Bean’ written and narrated by comedian Sinead Quinlan of Zig & Zag fame. Beans, mattresses and a broken down bike …. just some of the things you’ll see in this episode.
Friday 29 April – Episode15 – Hansel & Gretel’s Trails with Tales
‘Hansel & Gretel’s Trails with Tales’ written and narrated by comedian and children’s author Jason Byrne. It’s so bizarre we can’t even explain it. But there’s a witch, a house made of vegetables and two kids lost in the forest with a bunch of tourists.
