Peter has plenty to laugh about
11:31am Saturday 30th December 2006
PETER Kay's cameo appearance on the "Little Britain" TV Christmas special tonight crowns a fabulous year which has left the local comedian with plenty to laugh about.
In a hilarious one-off, Kay - sporting a thinning comb-over and outdated cowboy wardrobe -plays sleazy Les, the lookalike brother of David Walliams' single loser Dudley.
Dudley and his disappointing mail-order Thai bride, Ting Tong Macadangdang (Matt Lucas), go on honeymoon with Les and his new Russian wife, Evanka (Julia Davis) when for the "women" it is loathe at first sight.
The likely ratings-winner comes at the end of a year of personal and professional highlights for Peter Kay.
He fulfilled a lifelong ambition and played in a Dr Who episode as the disgusting baddie, the Abzorbaloff.
He is about to take a leading role in the stage show of Mel Brooks' cult hit film "The Producers" -Kay's personal favourite - which opens in Manchester in February and promises to be a box-office smash. And his autobiographical novel "The Sound of Laughter" is the best-selling book of the year and the No.1 Christmas book choice.
Add to that his delight at the birth in October of his second child, Finley James, and it is easy to see why laughing comes so easily to the 33-year-old star.
