Now, Mr Bloom is heading out on tour. In this all-new show, the allotment is awaiting the arrival of a very special guest. It will feature the Veggies, Compo the Compostarium machine and of course the Tiddlers (as children are known in the Mr Bloom universe) will be involved with songs and games. Ben Faulks says: “We are all really excited because this is the first time we have appeared in a traditional theatre setting – but the show will still retain its intimacy and heavily involve the audience, especially the Tiddlers.”

If I could be a vegetable I would want to be Spinach. It's fab word, the leaves look super comfortable and it's not buried down deep down in the ground, (wouldn't like that). That said, when playing this game with others I have been told that I'm much more like root ginger!?! Not sure what that says about me, but there you go.

Ask an adult to help with this stage as deep frying can be dangerous. Heat vegetable oil to 180 degrees in a large deep saucepan. Line a plate with lots of kitchen paper.

As for the remaining 25 Episodes, you can expect everything that featured in the first series, as well as a few next extras. There are two new Veggies in the nursery (more news on them later..), Compo seems to have undergone a bit of an upgrade plus, there's a whole lot more to be heard from Sebastian, the debonair Aubergine. This time round it's been an even greater pleasure writing and devising for the show. Knowing how it looks, how the characters / puppets respond, how the Tiddlers can be involved it's really allowed us to push the boat out creatively. In addition, now, when the Tiddlers roll up to the TV set, they'll be bringing expectations and preconceptions of what they've seen on the box at home. I'm really looking forward to this. Now they know the veggies, their characters and also Mr Bloom it will be interesting to see how this may affect the show. The show evolved from an interactive street theatre piece called The Vegetable Nannies, created by actor Ben Faulks – who plays Mr Bloom. In 2009 Faulks approached the BBC – with three young children of his own, Faulks regularly watched CBeebies and realised his show would work well on television. If your little one really loves getting out and about in the garden it can be helpful to buy a set of child-friendly mini-tools that they can hold and use by themselves. Having a little watering can, rake, trowel and spade can really help build your child’s sense of independence as well as their physical movement and fine motor skills. The Wee MacGregors: the Radishes, a law unto themselves – cheeky, mischievous, observant and attentive.CBeebies’ Mr Bloom is coming to our theatre with his family of Veggies in a new stage show which is sure to delight the whole family.
