    The Night Bakery, Episode 1: Two Kinds of Tuesday
    Oct 30 2026
    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.
