October 30 The Night Bakery, Episode 1: Two Kinds of Tuesday
It is ten o'clock on a Tuesday night, and June Halloran has owned Pell's Bakery for nine days. Walter, who baked there every night for forty years, is sure her cold-rested loaves will taste of the fridge. The old oven runs hot, and at dawn Omar from the counter is asked to settle it with a blind taste test.

The Night Bakery is a new original bedtime series for adults. Each episode is one quiet night shift, from the lights coming on to the blinds going up at seven, and each tells a complete story. Narrated by Romeo.

New bedtime stories Sunday, Wednesday and Friday.

October 30 Season 2: Start Here | The Night Bakery
Season 2 of Daily Bedtime Tales begins here, in about a minute.

The House at Lantern Bay ended with the invitations finally in the post. Season 2 keeps the same promise, gentle original stories for adults where small, ordinary things get put right, and moves to a new place: The Night Bakery. June Halloran has just bought Pell's, a small bakery on Ashgrove Road, and Walter Pell, who baked there every night for forty years, is staying on for eight weeks to show her how it runs. They disagree about nearly everything, usually politely.

What to expect: each episode is one night shift, from the lights coming on at ten to the blinds going up at seven. Every night is a complete story, so you can start anywhere and drift off whenever you like. Narrated by Romeo.
