Mother Goose: Sir Ian McKellen says working with John Bishop is a treat

Comedian John Bishop says his on-stage relationship with Sir Ian McKellen “just works” as the pair star in Mother Goose, a pantomime, at Easter.

Ambassador Theatre Group Productions is putting on the show at The Lowry in Salford.

Sir Ian told BBC North West Tonight it was a “treat” to work with such a “brilliant” stand-up.

Bishop said Sir Ian was “the biggest name I will ever work with”.
