Leyland surgery staff produce hilarious Peter Kay inspired video which goes viral

A dozen or so employees at Worden Medical Centre - including receptionists, nurses and GP - performed their version of comedian Peter Kay's re-release of Tony Christie's (Is This The Way To) Amarillo.

Their filming took place at the West Paddock centre in response to Peter's call to fans and key workers to get involved and send in their own clips to be included on the BBC's Big Night Out on BBC One tonight, Thursday, April 23, at 7pm.

Staff can be seen marching in pairs down a corridor, culminating in a dancing get together at the end of the video.

Nurse Jane Swarbrick explained: "It was just that we're obviously trying to increase morale in the surgery because everyone's quite jaded and feeling quite overwhelmed by it all."

The staff teamed up wearing their personal protective equipment (PPE) at the end of a session.

Jane added: "We don't have our full compliment of staff and people are off because some of the family are off because they're symptomatic. We're trying to make sure we keep people as safe as possible.

"There were receptionists wearing masks and gowns, nurses and a GP - a bit of a mixture of all groups - it was a bit of light relief.

"It's been interesting how many people have looked at it and it's lifted morale."

She said the centre was going about its business, adding: "I think there's a sense of fear, being overwhelmed and lots of people shattered, exhausted."

The centre's not stopping there, though.

Jane explained that a song is due to come out, sang to the tune Proud Mary, but called Proud Worden, with its own specially written lyrics,

Meanwhile, Bolton-born Peter topped the charts 15 years ago with (Is This The Way To) Amarillo.

The 2005 music video featured some of the most famous faces on British television, including Michael Parkinson and Ronnie Corbett, raising money for Comic Relief.

For tomorrow night's show people have been asked to film themselves marching along to the original track and upload the footage to social media with the tag # BigNightInAmarillo.

The staff at Worden Medical Centre hope to see themselves on screen.
