Its time for another deep peep at a panto poster from the past as Ben Baker and John Matthews take an affectionate ogle at "Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood" performed at the Darlington Civic by children's presenter, a former World's Strongest Man, the "naughty Nolan", a couple of chaotic siblings and their canine counterparts.
Listen or watch out for a generation of budgie lovers, grape crushing, unusual middle names, the Diana conspiracy, fake Maltesers, joystick breaking computer games and lots more in episode two of "Pantosplaining".

Listen or watch along to the pilot of "Pantosplaining" where we pluck a poster from panto history and look at what we can find out about it for a real deep dive with many diversions into silliness.
