Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006  Doctor Who poised for radio panto Tennant admits to being nervous about playing ButtonsDoctor Who star David Tennant has been lined up to play Buttons in a pantomime special for Virgin Radio. He will be joined by Hollywood actress Thandie Newton as Cinderella and Brian Blessed, who will play the town crier. Tennant admits he is nervous about the role: "It's daunting. I'm not going to lie to you, I feel I've got a mountain to climb," he said. The show, which also stars breakfast DJ Christian O'Connell as Prince Charming, takes place next Thursday. "We have already had e-mails from Doctor Who fans as far away as Belgrade, Melbourne and China who will all be listening to the panto live online as it happens," O'Connell said. Oscar winner Newton agreed to take part after chatting to O'Connell earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
