CBeebies Series 'I Can Taste It' Films at Coventry Market
A new CBeebies series titled I Can Taste It, designed for children between three and six years old, will be filmed at Coventry Market. Hosted by Aaron Roach Bridgeman alongside puppet Zesty, the program promotes food exploration through sensory activities. Filming takes place amidst market-goers, creating a genuine educational atmosphere. Dom Sant from Common Story highlighted the significance of showcasing real locations. Director Jess Matthews referred to the filming experience as 'glorious chaos.' The series includes a character called Compost Monster, which advocates for sustainable eating habits. Six-year-old Oscar from Bedworth, motivated by a social media advertisement, will also take part. The show is set to premiere in spring 2027. Common Story, established six years ago, has created over 100 CBeebies productions.
