Summary

Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!

Voiced by the renowned comedian Rik Mayall, this utterly superb performance will have your children in fits of laughter from start to finish.

The late, great Richard 'Rik' Mayall was a pioneer of alternative comedy in the '80s who formed a famous comedy partnership with Ade Edmondson and featured in numerous cult classic sitcoms, including The Young Ones, Bottom, Blackadder and Guest House Paradiso, among others. On 9th June 2014, at the age of 56, a massive blow was dealt to the world of comedy, as Rik passed away.

not for young children

definitely not a version you'd hear on cbbies bed time stories. quite rude and obnoxious. really disappointed. my son loves the gingerbread man story but this was hugely inappropriate for a young child.

Sample unhelpful

Very disappointed to have wasted a credit on this for my 2 year old. Quite shocking how someone can ruin such a classic story!

Not a bedtime story!

I should have read the reviews/noticed that it was Rick Male reading it. Downloaded it as a bedtime story for my 3 year old. Totally not appropriate, very loud and shouty
