Rab C. Nesbitt star Gregor Fisher is to star in this year's King's Theatre panto, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The actor adds another string to his vest in the role of Hector the Henchman alongside Des Clarke as Muddles and Juliet Cadzow as the Wicked Queen.

Eric Potts will direct the festive fairytale adventure at the King's Theatre in Glasgow from Friday, December 4 until Sunday, January 10, 2016.

Gregor Fisher first appeared in the King's legendary pantomime as a Robber in Babes in The Wood co-starring Rikki Fulton and Jack Milroy in 1981.

Over three decades later, he is thrilled to be returning to the King's stage. He said: "It's a privilege to be part of this Christmas tradition once again at the beautiful King's Theatre.

"Returning to pantomime is a slightly daunting but exciting prospect. It'll be a challenge but it's all worthwhile when you hear the audience's reaction and kids laughing, or booing.

"I'm looking forward to playing the Henchman and working with Juliet Cadzow as the Wicked Queen - we'll be a devilish duo not to be messed with, Mwaa-ha-ha!"

Gregor Fisher is best known to TV audiences for his role as Rab C. Nesbitt in the BBC sitcom and as The Baldy Man in the ITV series.

James Haworth, General Manager of the King's Theatre, said: "We would like to wish Gregor Fisher, Des Clarke and Juliet Cadzow a warm welcome back into the fold of the King's panto family. With an experienced cast and a strong creative team, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is in safe hands to make its second ever appearance in the history of the King's panto. We promise to deliver another year of family fun-filled entertainment, stunning sets, glittering costumes and side-splitting comedy."
