We've got a panto so big and bulging with fantastic celebrity guest stars this time we're splitting it into two parts, missis!

In part one, Ben Baker and John Matthews are at the Palace Theatre gazing up at the visages of some of the eighties' biggest names....and Edmund Hockridge.

Who is Mr Panto? What have the Chuckle Brothers been up to? How did a Jack Russell and a well placed finger beat Su Pollard? Which chart is the definitive one all the popstars want to be in? Did Matthew Kelly know...you know? Is it even vaguely possible not to adore Derek Griffiths? How do you "Take the Plunge"? What's the prime age to be "Young and Foolish"? Could Henry Rollins come from Peterborough?

All of these questions will be answered with aplomb and a chortle because we love these posters and hope you're game for a (one) laugh too. Part two next week.
