Tim Whitnall born 27 June 1961, on Canvey Island, Essex, is a British actor, musician and writer who played Angelo in the long-running hit CITV series Mike and Angelo.
Tim has starred in many West End plays and musicals including Elvis, Grease, The Rocky Horror Show, "Good Rockin' Tonight" and most recently Jim Cartwright's Eight Miles High at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool. He has worked extensively in film, TV and radio and presented (and wrote for) the BBC School's series Time and Tune, Music Workshop and Let's Sing.
He has provided many voice-overs and vocals for TV commercials, animations and jingles but his voice is perhaps best known as narrator of top Children's BBC programme Teletubbies (although he received plaudits for his performance on Steve Cope's multi award-winning "Elvis" BBC Radio 2 promo in 2007). He is the voice of Mr Carburettor, Plugger and Farmer Green in Chapman Entertainment's Roary The Racing Car with Peter Kay, Maria Darling, Dominic Frisby and Marc Silk and also voices Stingo, Aunt Tulip and Flutterby in "Fifi and the Flowertots - both firm favourites on Five's Milkshake.
On 12 October 2008, he appeared as an auditionee with an eyepatch in Peter Kay's Britain's Got The Pop Factor ... And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice, a spoof on the talent show genre of programmes.
Whitnall's critically acclaimed 2005 theatre play The Sociable Plover has recently been made into a feature film by Poisson Rouge Pictures and Solution Films (re-titled as The Hide) which received its UK premiere on Film4 in February 2009. ("Pinteresque"... "A film of considerable promise, well worth catching" - Philip French, The Observer, "The Hide gave famous two-handed suspense dramas a ride for their money" - Andrew Billen, The Times, "Where the film scores is its [sic] edgy, often blackly comical dialogue and the excellent performances by the two stars" - TV and Satellite Weekly). Tim's latest stage-play "Morecambe" - an original and affectionate tribute to the late, great Eric Morecambe - opened to dazzling reviews and won a prestigious Fringe First Award at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival. The show will open at London's Duchess Theatre this December, and tour the UK into 2010.
He lives in Richmond, London with his partner, Anna Murphy, with whom he has a production company, Feather Productions Ltd.[1]
