Gary: Tank Commander is the star of this years Christmas Pantomime at His Majesty's Theatre.

Gary, played by Greg McHugh, will re-unite with Paul J Corrigan (Slimeball) who played Adam in Gary: Tank Commander.

Panto favourites Alan McHugh (Nurse Nellie Macduff), Danielle Jam (The Spirit of Pantomime) and Julie Coombe (Carabosse) also star in the show.

"What do I think of Aberdeen? It's like the rich man's Dundee, isn't it!", joked McHugh, who spoke to the press as Gary.

"It's brilliant, the people are fantastic! Everyone has been really friendly. someone just stopped me and said 'Gary you're my hero, tell how to be more like you Gary'.

"And I said, ' just try you're best', and then they just walked away and I could see that I really changed their lives. And that's what I want to do for the people of Aberdeen, change their lives"
