David Hasselhoff said: " I am so delighted to be returning to the
role of Captain Hook, I had a blast last year in Wimbledon. I’ve been spending a great deal of time in the UK, it feels like my second home and I can’t wait to spend Christmas with the people of Bristol. Watch out – Hoff the Hook is coming to get ya!” “The Hippodrome staff weren’t quite sure they’d heard me
correctly when I told them who our pantomime star was going to be this year. The Hoff, you mean THE David Hasselhoff? World famous celebrity, star of Knight Rider and Baywatch is going to be starring in our pantomime Peter Pan this year? It certainly took a while for the news to sink in that’s for sure!”
