One of the stars from the beloved children's TV show Balamory has undergone a major transformation that has left fans in awe. Andrew Agnew, who played the role of PC Plumb in the CBeebies series, looks completely different from the character that made him a household name in the 2000s. After a 19-year gap, the 48-year-old actor has taken on a new role - that of Dame Dolly Dundonald in a stage production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
In a series of images released, Andrew can be seen sporting a vibrant blue eye makeup, heeled boots, and an elaborate beehive costume. It's safe to say that he has gone all out for his panto transformation, and fans are loving it. The Kilmarnock production puts a twist on the classic Goldilocks tale, with Dame Dolly searching for a new act to rival her rival circus owner Roger Von Riccarton's show, which has better funding and performers.
Andrew, who is no stranger to the world of pantomime, is excited to take on this new role. He said, "I am thrilled to be back in Killie this year with Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It's a brand new show and a different experience for all of us. I know audiences will love it." He also added, "It's an unusual title for a Killie panto, but I think people will enjoy the change. We will have our own circus in Kilmarnock, with all the comforts we need to keep us entertained during this festive season."
Andrew rose to fame as PC Plumb in Balamory, a show aimed towards preschool children. He starred alongside Julie Wilson Nimmo as Miss Hoolie, Miles Jupp as Archie the Inventor, and Rodd Christensen as Spencer. The Bafta-winning show ran from 2002 to 2005 and was set on the fictional island of Balamory in Scotland. Each character wore a distinct color of clothing that matched their house.
Since then, Andrew has appeared in many pantomimes, including Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, and Peter Pan. He has also directed other children's TV shows and even helmed his own CBeebies live theatre show. The actor's versatility and talent have been on full display, and fans are excited to see him take on this new challenge.
For those who grew up watching Balamory, there is some exciting news. The show is set to make a comeback in 2026 with two new series commissioned for CBeebies. It's expected that some of the original characters will make an appearance, which will undoubtedly fill many hearts with nostalgia. Kate Morton, head of commissioning 0-6, said, "A whole new generation will discover and enjoy Balamory as we bring families together with this new update for CBeebies. It will be a real treat for parents who grew up with the show to introduce their little ones to the brightly colored world and get to know a host of old and new characters together."
The news of Balamory's return has caused excitement among fans, and it's clear that the show has left a lasting impact on many. Whether it's through his iconic role in Balamory or his various pantomime performances, Andrew Agnew continues to entertain and bring joy to audiences of all ages.
