Online panto recomnendations

We usually book the panto between Xmas and new year but obviously that's not happening this year! So was just wondering is anyone has any recommendations for ones that have gone down well with the kids (and adults - I love a good panto!) that we could book this week. Happy to have recorded or live but don't just want the CBeebies panto which is always on - want something the kids wouldnt usually be able to see so not looking at local theatres either.
I'll have a Google and see what I can find too and will add to the thread if I find any that look good.

I found this list online https://www.bigpantoguide.co.uk/onlineanddstreamingpantos.php
And of course one of the first on the list is my local! I wanted something better this year - are any of the bigger london theatres doing it? Anyone know? Or anyone know how to narrow down the list? I'd love a recommendation.

National Theatre, Dick Whittington free on YouTube.
And then send them a donation.

National theatre has Dick Whittington on YouTube til tomorrow.
DH and I enjoyed it, but kids weren't thrilled, and quite a lot of the jokes needed London knowledge e.g there was a great bit with puns on tube stations, but its completly bypassed the kids, an I'm sure DH and I missed a load too.

Thanks @QueenoftheAir - is it good quality video? I'd imagine the NT would be. Will have a look

Ah - thanks @InTheLongGrass - mine would miss the london refs too.... but then I guess the point of panto is it's local jokes.
I found one called the original online panto co - anyone tried that one?
