The Keith and Paddy Picture Show: Who's guest starring in this week's Top Gun spoof?
Sarah Parish and Marc Warren are amongst the cast sending up the classic Tom Cruise movie on ITV
The Keith and Paddy Picture Show continues this week with a spoof of Top Gun, as Paddy McGuinness and Keith Lemon take to the skies as Goose and Maverick.
The comedy duo are again being joined by an all-star cast of guest stars to parody the 1986 movie. Here's who's starring in the episode this week:
Marc Warren - Iceman
Warren rose to prominence in the BBC1 grifting drama Hustle where he played the role of Danny Blue, an enthusiastic and brash con man. He also had a small role in the war drama Band of Brothers and, more recently, he starred as Rochefort in the BBC adaptation of The Musketeers.
Speaking about playing Iceman, he said viewers can expect "a detailed portrayal of Val Kilmer’s very complex character... expect good hair and chewing gum."
Sarah Parish - Charlie
As Charlie, Sarah Parish had to recreate the iconic bar scene where Maverick attempts to serenade her with a rendition of You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.
Parish said she's giving us "a near-perfect impression of the great Kelly McGillis" and that while filming, "tongue jousting with Keith was both funny and alarming in equal measures!" Lovely.
