"I love being involved with Roary the Racing Car. The programme is a great way for young children to learn who I am. The show is internationally recognised and provides children with an exciting introduction into the world of motorsport, through brilliant storylines, fantastic songs and great humour. I have a lot of fun recording the narration and I enjoy working with Peter Kay who voices the main character, Big Chris!" - Sir Stirling Moss

"My friends with children, literally from all over the world, have told me how much they enjoy watching Roary the Racing Car with their youngsters, so I was delighted when I was invited to join the cast. They have been enormous fun and I now feel that I have achieved fame at last by becoming part of such outstanding entertainment!" - Murray Walker
