Peter Kay recreating his Amarillo video after 15 years for the BBC’s Big Night In fundraiser
PETER Kay is recreating his (Is This The Way To) Amarillo video, 15 years after his hit version for Comic Relief.
The comedian, 46, is making a video featuring members of the public for Thursday’s Big Night In fundraiser on BBC1.
The telethon is raising money in aid of local charities and projects in the UK supported by Comic Relief and Children in Need.
A post on his Facebook page called for volunteers to get involved. It asked for people to film themselves stomping along to the original track by Tony Christie.
The post said: "To be in with a chance of making it into his final video, we’re looking for people to film themselves marching and dancing to the original track."
They were then asked to upload the footage online with the hashtag BigNightInAmarillo to be in with a chance of being included.
Peter’s version, a cover of Tony Christie’s 1971 single, was the best-selling song of 2005 in the UK after spending seven weeks at No1.
The video featured stars including Brian May, Paddy McGuinness, Mr Blobby and Ronnie Corbett.
