It has become one of our landmark brands and the ambitions of the show continue to grow with each new series. We’re hugely excited to see the storytelling format evolve into a single narrative per episode, and to reveal the talented narrators who will be taking a seat in the iconic Crackanory chair."{{cite web|url=http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2016/10/12/25981/crackanory_gets_a_fourth_series|title=Crackanory gets a fourth series : News 2016 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide|first=Powder Blue Internet Business|last=Solutions|website=www.chortle.co.uk}}
