Shoebox Zoo
Bill Paterson is
the voice of The Storyteller
Known most recently for his role in spooky Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ drama
Sea of Souls, Scottish actor Bill Paterson was delighted to be asked
to provide the distinguished and knowing voice of The Storyteller in
Shoebox Zoo.
Μύ
Claire Mundell, Executive Producer and Co-creator for
the series, explains the importance of the role: "The Storyteller
guides us through the epic and tells the story from a position of knowledge.
Μύ
"Shoebox Zoo is such a classic tale comprising
of many elements, the idea of having a narrator is a classic device.
Μύ
"He is our connection between the past and the
present."
Μύ
A first time for Bill to work on a children's drama,
he thoroughly enjoyed adding emotion, intrigue and menace to the story
which he believes will excite a wide audience.
Μύ
Bill, who recorded his piece in May this year, explains:
"I think it has a nice blend of fantasy and humour which should
appeal to grown ups as well as their kids. I particularly liked the
voices and animation.
Μύ
"I hope Shoebox Zoo will give the viewers the same
buzz of excitement and promise that it gave me when I first read it."
