Who's got the most interesting or unusual celeb in their panto this year?

[ShatnersBassoon]

Ours is ok in parts - Barney from Blue Peter, The Hoff and Su Pollard!

There must be worse than this around the country. I'm thinking ex-Gladiators etc...

We have Warwick Davies and a couple of people I've never heard of doing Snow White. And dh's work have organised a trip for those with kids, so found out 5 minutes ago that we'll be going... Although they only pay for one parent to go, so no idea if we'll both manage to go with the dc; just waiting to hear back if we can pay for an extra ticket ourselves!

We had the Fonz here a few years ago - ds1 ran into him in waitrose - literally unfortunately , followed by a very apologetic dh, who then became even more embarrassed as he hadn't realised who ds had run into, in his (ds's) eagerness to see what olives were available at the deli counter. It wasn't just an 'omg, I'm really sorry he ran into you' apology, it was then layered with a dawning realisation of who he had run into and then worrying that he might have thought he'd done it on purpose. In his defence, ds was only 3, had no idea who the Fonz was and was totally obsessed with olives, and you don't usually expect the Fonz to be perusing the pancetta in front of you!

We have Linda Lusardi and some bloke. Do I win the Z list prize?

CinnabarRed You may have Shane Ritchie but we have Shane Ritchie Junior - oh and Joe McElderry.

moonshine - it's like I'm your panto mother!

Ha we must live near you, Outragedofsurbubia....we've got Jo Brand too...

Shane Ritchie Junior?! Is that a real thing, like son of Shane? He was born to appear in provincial panto.

Thisisaghostly.. I'm up the road from southend, considering going to the low budget Basildon panto though as Southend one is a bit steep

We're going to panto with FIL, where they have ChrisfromCbeebies.

I know! I'd rather have Shane Ritchie jnr if it meant keeping the price below £35 a ticket

Who are Basildon offering?

We have Sid from cebeebies, and Stephen Mulhern off of Britons Got Talent.

So jealous of the people with Craig R-H, I'm a bit of a connoisseur of Panto dames, and his Wicked Queen has been on my Must See list for ages.

(For those who are interested, my all time top 3 are Clive Rowe, Lily Savage, and Edna Everage, bottom was Roger "Trigger" Lloyd-Pack).

I've just checked and we have Carl Kennedy from Neighbours! Well impressed I may go!

Simon fielding according to imdb he was in London's burning

Really aunty? Do you think crw will be good then?

Hmmm

Weve got the chucklebrothers which the kids but mainly me are excited about

Well he's a decent singer, he has good legs and is not afraid to use them (new hip permitting) and he's been doing it for the last 5 years or so, so I reckon he should be good, yes. Lisa Riley gets on my nerves, but she's got to be less annoying than Widdicombe, who was his previous sidekick.

Countryplumpkin we had linda last year with her husband mahbe thats the bloke? She was allright !

Countryplumpkin...think we've just moved to your area as saw a poster advertising our local panto yesterday & it was Linda Lusardi & her husband.

FWIW, he used to play Sam (I think) an extremely camp hairdresser in Brookside MANY MANY moons ago.

I was when I found out they were married, would've put money on him being gay.

That's encouraging, thank you!

Louis Spence and Andy Ford.

DD commented that it might be a bit camp.

I was going through Slough, and a bus there was advertising that they have Justin Fletcher!

I'm going to have to find out where it is, ds is just the right age for panto

We've got Christopher Biggins and Bob Carolgess.
Haven't heard of either of them but will be going as dd's school has given everyone discounted tickets.

Haven't heard of Christopher Biggins and Bob Carolgess? Where have you been?

Darren Put It Back In Your Fricking Pants Day. What joy. I shan't be going.

Don't tell me you don't remember Spit The Dog either?
