Eighty-seven year-old Murray Walker, who for decades was the voice of Formula One, is back in the limelight as he provides the commentary for a race during a 90-venue tour of kids TV show Roary The Racing Car.
Walker plays himself in an animated section of the show during a race at the Silver Hatch track. The production will be narrated by Sir Stirling Moss while comedian Peter Kay will provide the voice of Big Chris.
"This is the first time that I will appear on stage, albeit in animation form," Walker said. "I now feel that I have achieved fame at last."
"Walker's excitable commentary style was deemed perfect for the fast-paced adventures set at Silver Hatch race track," executive producer Greg Lynn told the Press Association. "In true Murray format, the stage show is peppered with Murrayisms, and at 87 years, he's definitely still got it."
