Matt Lucas revives George Dawes

For a new charity campaign

Matt Lucas has revived his Shooting Stars character George Dawes for a new film charity film.

The #5for5 campaign from l children’s charity Theirworld aims to raise awareness of the five most crucial things the under-fives need to thrive.

Lucas said: I think 5 for 5 is a great campaign to be involved in, it’s a strong message, Theirworld is a great charity. For me it was a good opportunity to be George Dawes again because I haven’t been George for eight years!

'I couldn’t really resist, it’s always fun to muck about as George. Sometimes you just have to put on a romper suit and be silly.'

The Little Britain star is the first of many comedians from different countries who will be channelling their inner child in a series of short films promoting the campaign.
