"delightfully daft wit..."

- Clair Woodward, The Sunday Times


Hello Panto pals! Time for another loving deep dive into Ben Baker and John Matthews' obsession with posters for pantomimes and the history of each event. Truly, this is the theatre where dreams are made and 'splained....a bit.

We're heading back to the mid-seventies in this episode for a show headed by...well, is it "Occasionally Diddy" David Hamilton off of the wireless? Or Adrienne "dont call me Poster" Posta off "all sorts of stuff"?

And where does a pre-TISWAS Sally James or some of the below-floor cast from "Upstairs Downstairs" fit into this? Or Kenneth Connor the Tortoise?

And can that really be THAT Tommy Vance?!


All will be 'splained in today's big lovely spectacular which remains at "London's Most Economical Family Prices".


Come give us a follow and maybe say hello to us now we've been in the Sunday times Culture pages and everything: https://bsky.app/profile/pantosplaining.bsky.social
