As the ghost of William IV

Peter Davison has joined the cast of The Windsors Coronation special.

The former Doctor Who will play the ghost of William IV, who Wills (Hugh Skinner) consults about his famously small coronation.

Davison said: ‘I am a huge fan of the show, and I'm very pleased to be asked to appear in the Coronation Special, even if I am only an apparition.

‘After many years going from playing vets, to doctors, to policemen, to vicars, and then barristers,  I can see I've now reached the 'ghost' phase of my career - this is not necessarily a good sign, but it was a joy to do it.’

He joins a cast led by Harry Enfield as the King. Haydn Gwynne as  Camilla in the comedy,  Hugh Skinner as Wills and Louise Ford as Kate.

Richard Goulding is Harry, Kathryn Drysdale (Meghan), Morgana Robinson (Pippa Middleton), Ellie White (Beatrice), Celeste Dring (Eugenie), Vicki Pepperdine (Anne) and Matthew Cottle (Edward).

The Windsors Coronation Special is on Channel 4 and all 4 at 9pm on April 30.
