This Friday sees the return of Absolute Radio’s annual live panto, and there’s a TVO connection for anyone tuning in.

Zombie Claus promises to be a star-studded dose of silliness broadcast live from the Soho Theatre, as part of Christian O’Connell’s Breakfast Show.

Confirmed to appear are Doctor Who and Broadchurch star David Tennant, Eastenders veteran Shane Richie and Absolute Radio’s Christian O’Connell and Richie Firth.

The festive foolery has been written by none other than Richard Sandling – he of Perfect Movie, Squat Betty and Forgotten Picture Show fame, so we’ll be tuning in with the rest of you on Friday morning to find out what he’s come up with.

The show airs between 7am and 10am on Absolute Radio, and will probably turn up on YouTube at some point in the future, like last year’s madness, which can be seen below.
