The Singing, the shouting, the Booing, the throwing of Sweets. The ugly dames. I love panto!

This year i shall be seeing Peter Pan in bath. YAY! Captain hook is that minty Fella From Enders. Hes got a lot to Live up to. Few years ago i saw Brian Blessed bellow his part as hook, and Michaela strachan as Pan.

Come on, fess up. Who else Loves panto 7;^)

My biggest Panto disappointment was when staying in Sheffield one Christmas my Other half wouldnt Take me to see the Chuckle brothers in Panto. Boo to her.

In reply to Choss:

It's horrifically expensive to take the whole family to watch David Hasselhoff play Captain Hook.

In reply to winhill:

To anyone living in or near Sheffield the Manor Pantomime at Sheffield City Hall is a great afternoon out average price for a ticket is £10.00.

In reply to Choss:



I actually caught the missus about to spunk £150 on it but luckily we could only go on dates that are already sold out.

There is a billboard for one near me (Aladdin possibly). It features a local radio celebrity (?!), who is distinctly Caucasian, as "Pong, the Chinese Policeman". He is screwing his face up a bit in the photo to give himself a slightly slit-eyed appearance.

Is this sort of thing still acceptable? I wouldn't fancy being a Chinese schoolkid on a trip to that panto.

In reply to Choss:


they're all remakes of ones I saw in the 60's so they must be rubbish

In reply to graeme jackson:


stage Productions dont count 7;^)

best panto Remake i saw was the real little red riding hood. Granny and red were Mobsters putting the Squeeze on all the Woodland animals. Having had enough, the animals persuade a Retired mob hit wolf to come out of retirement to Take Granny hood out.

top stuff.
