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.

The @pantosplaining.bsky.social team had a night out yesterday in a storm to see Still Pushing Pineapples, an outstanding new film about Black Lace's Dene Michael. And we took the opportunity for a pic at the Bradford Alhambra.

There will be some here who will remember when Cook'd and Bomb'd Radio got hold of Jess Conrad OBE's phone number and rang him up in the middle of the night.

Really enjoyed the first episode of @pantosplaining.bsky.social If they want a special celebrity guest star for an episode, I went to this panto and bought a copy of “Ooh I Could Crush A Grape” from Stu Francis himself at the stage door. No memory of the Chuckle Brothers though.

Just finished listening to this and it's excellent.
Due to a small technical issue the video version of PantoSplaining is temporarily missing from Spotify. But you should really watch it on YouTube, our favoured platform.

Or listen to the audio version and look at this picture of the poster.

Very much enjoying the Jess Conrad chat, thought you might appreciate this pic of him auditioning for the part of the Dalek Emperor in 1967.

Loved the first episode of @pantosplaining.bsky.social! I’m still scarred from watching the telethon and now I can add the black stockings song to the list.

‘The goal with this, perhaps, is for us to actually *be* in panto.’
‘Is it?’

Have you listened to PantoSplaining yet, where two blokes take a deep dive into this poster? Everybody else is talking about it, you don't want to miss out!

Wow, what a first episode. Who knew it would be so personal to me.
1. I lived in Ashton-U-Lyne from 1972 to 2010.
2. Me & Mrs Choons worked for Tameside Council for many years.
3. Mrs Choons was a member of Noreen Dickinson’s Juveniles and Cinderella was her final panto.
She was in these too.
