Tom Hardy - top lad, a bit intimidating in his movies.
He's known for beating the crap out of Batman when he's playing Bane, being a criminal savage in Charles Bronson, being a shithead in The Revenant and a sadistic lover of Cathy in Wuthering Heights as Heathcliff, but it appears his work can also fit well with bed time reading for little ones, as shown here.

Let's be honest, if there's one evening you want your little bastard son or daughter to get to sleep, Dec 31 is it. You either want a few jars with pals or a nice, quiet, tantrum-free evening, so getting in a Hollywood A-lister on C Beebies' Bedtime Stories to get the horrors to sleep is a good shout.
There he is, donning a flat cap that becomes a top hat with his lovely dog and a scene warmer than you'd find in Volcano from the mid 90s.

If you were really engrossed in the story and the fancy hearing more about the hat party and monocle wearing monkeys, here it is. He also gets in a good bit of Cockney as a doorman stereotype and ended up explaining more animal characters than you'd find in The Wind In The Willows.
Still, would have been better if he voiced it as Bane.
