Michael McIntyre’s Big Show: Peter Robinson stuns audience
In the popular comedy, Michael McIntyre’s Big production, a Blackburn guy has emerged as the unexpected star of
the production.
Due to his singing, which he does daily for his cherished wife Sandra after she was diagnosed with dementia, Peter
Robinson, 81, received a nomination for the show from his family.
It was reported that Peter’s singing brought his wife a lot of joy during his daily visits when she was in the hospice.
Peter’s performance astounded the audience.When McIntyre first presented Peter, he said, “Blackburn, Peter is 81
years old. 58 years of marriage to Sandra, a cherished wife. Hospice has been providing her with 24-hour care.
He has been going to see her every day, and each time he does so, he sings by her bed. His family is here tonight
because he enjoys singing.
After the big surprise, Peter revealed that he gets a lot of satisfaction from singing in the hospice and does his best to
make everyone there feel better.
Peter said: “My wife always loved my singing. She gave me 58 years of marriage, three daughters and I have known
her for 62 years since we first met on a blind date.
“I lean over her bed and I sing. You never lose your love for someone who you have been married to all those years,
that is all I can say.
“I just love singing why not use it for good. This song brings happiness to people, and I will give it my best and it will
come from the heart.”
When Peter, the captain of a Blackburn bowls team, travelled to London to get a new flat cap, the show’s producers
conned him into going into a fake bowls shop.
But in typical Big Show fashion, his experience did not live up to his expectations.
To Peter’s dismay, the shop assistant in this episode was adamant about showing him the new bowls bag they were
selling, complete with an umbrella and snack container.
The bag was a major component of Peter’s prank. Peter told the employee that he didn’t want to purchase the odd
device, urging her to “put it away,” and that “everyone would laugh at him with one of those.” Peter responded to the
device with amusing “blooming heck.”
He told Michael that he enjoyed the show’s surprise celebrity element after being escorted through the store and
meeting the host on a makeshift bowling green.
Peter met Michael backstage before his performance.
A crowded audience welcomed him as he bowled his ball through the wall, and Michael told him he would be singing
that night.
Peter responded, “I have no choice do I,” when asked if he wanted to do it.
To the amazement of the entire audience, he sang Nat King Cole’s song Smile.
Following the performance, Peter, accompanied by his family, told the crowd that he enjoyed performing and that “if
you listen to the words, it is about giving people a lift and I hope it has given people who are bit down a lift.””
The audience was told by his daughter that she had made them all very proud.
“It’s so wonderful that the Big Show can give special people a once in a lifetime experience,” Michael said prior to the
concert.
“While his wife is receiving end-of-life care, Peter, an inspirational Unexpected Star, has been singing by her bedside
every day.
“He deserves the unique moment he had on our stage because he is a genuinely amazing man and character.
