2012 - and it's panto time...


Roll up, roll up everybody - it's time for panto!

Coming to a town near you:-

"Aladdin boots'
Jack Whittington, an impoverished pan cleaner, finds true love with a beast and takes on a bean farm in Wonderland with hilarious results. Cindy gets her night hood, but forgets to wear it, and finishes up being goosed and less than snow white with hilarious results...

With a cast of eight: -

Vince Grass (Narg Sweebling's stepfather's milkman in 'On the buses', 1964)
Victoria Plunge (Violet Pudding's hairdresser's sweeper-up in 'Bless this house' 1948)
Gladys Pilbeam-Wollage (Gloria Lump in the never shown 'Arse about face', 1932).
Three other long-forgotten has-beens from dire trashy soaps, that nobody ever watched without an industrial sack of crisps and a gallon of economy super-strength lager.
Someone who doubles-up as the cleaner in the theatre with hilarious results.
A small beige dog called Colin who steals the show.

Scrobs would like to wish everyone who buys a ticket, a happy and prosperous New Year.

  5. And such a small and lovely 'a' Pips...;0)

    All those painted prats chucking packets of crisps at the masses was OK back then, but sorry, it just doesn't work now...

    (Sad old git shuffles odd stage left...)

  6. Nick!

    Oh, Nick!

    Which one was that; 'Doris in boots' (good for the fantasists - those high, tenuous pvc lengths of sensuous plastic - even leatherette, and shining gently, even wistfully in the aura of the dim gas-light from the sea-side promenade illuminations), or Aladdin (good for the Michael Jackson squealers...)!

  16. Pips - I hope you're OK. I've been unable to get on your blog for months. Please check your settings. I've also responded by email but you don't seem to be getting my replies.

    I've done nothing to alter my settings and everything appears OK. I suspect a glitch your end. Please check.

    (Scrobs - May I trouble you to pass this on if you have the means ? Thanks)
