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...

I want the hoff!!! Instead we've got Brian Conley and Lesley Joseph. Haven't got a clue who she is.
Last year we had Julian Clary who was really good.

bananananacoconuts · 04/11/2013 18:40

We have Julie Bloody Peasgood. She wont have far to travel, she lives round the corner from me!

Countryplumpkin we must live near each other. The bloke is her husband but he was in brookside as the hair dresser.

MayimBialik · 04/11/2013 18:45

Cheryl Ferguson (out if east Enders apparently) and Marcus Collins (x-factor). Not a clue on either of them Shock

I am between 2 cities so one is

Grant Stott - John Leslie's brother and a successful DJ.
Allan Stewart and Andy gray. You'd know them I am sure if you saw them. Think Rab c Nesbit.

The other city is
John barrowman and The Krankies.

Crutchlow35 · 04/11/2013 19:23

Lesley Joseph was in birds of a feather in the 90's.

LocalEditorColchester · 04/11/2013 19:27

pumpkin - Lesley Joseph is Dorian from "Birds of a Feather"

I've Googled the two theatres nearest to me and there's no-one famous listed .

But for the turning on of the lights, there's "Zing-Zillas" Grin

We had Twist'n'Pulse one year Grin

terribleteethinitsterriblejaws · 04/11/2013 20:07

We have lee mead, nigel havers and bobby davro!

richardIIIsneighbour · 04/11/2013 20:09

We've got Hardeep Singh Kohli playing the Genie in Aladdin, which I'd be more excited about if my DParents had booked me a ticket for Christmas and not just them and the DC Wink. I really liked him in Masterchef, and think he'll be a great Genie.

It's also got Tameka Empson, who is Kim in Eastenders (Denise's sister, runs the B&B, only ever gets storylines about litter recently), who I think may be pretty entertaining too.

Would it be wrong to book a ticket for myself as a Christmas present to me?

moonshine · 04/11/2013 20:56

CinnabarRed and not too far away from Ritchie Senior if you're near High Wycombe - I wouldn't be surprised if they are in the same hotel (or possibly commuting from home Hmm).

Wishywashywanda never heard of Christopher Biggins Shock - he's panto royalty!

2anddone · 04/11/2013 20:58

ShowOfBloodyStumps snap!!! Don't know what's worse Darren Day or the local radio tosser. Unfortunately I have to go as the panto is dd favourite story!!!! Going Christmas eve after the pub lol Wink

NaturalBloodsuckerYeahRight · 04/11/2013 21:07

I'm quite jealous of some of these! Brian Connolly was hilarious when I saw him in Hairspray.
I'm in the Mr Maker zone too (don't really know who he is as mine are past cbeebies stage)

Shodan · 04/11/2013 21:10

We must be in the same area as foofooyeah- we have Mr Tumble!

DS2 is going to be very excited. Grin
