Panto Time

[MedDreamer]

Being that time of year I think we should have a forum panto. We should merge the main charactors and plots from all the traditional pantos to have our own spectacular,

Who should play whom? Here are a few suggestions.

Baron (Not ) Hardup - Byron
Principal Boy - Jimmie
Nasty Villain (The one everybody boos when he comes on stage) - Learner
Virginal Heroine - Pauline B (This will require good acting)
Ugly Sisters - Suggestions please.
Comic Policemen - Coliholic & hlb (slapstick routine based around falling of boats)
Pantomime horse - Haydn's donkey.

I would, of course, be somewhere at the back of the chorus trying to do my bit but really in awe of all the old stagers.

Do you agree with my casting. What shall we call it and what about a story and a few songs.

Merry Christmas to everyone and many thanks for all the help the forum has given me this year. As a novice your advice has been invaluable

Best Wishes to all

Martyn

But what is the panto called. I vote for Robinson Crusoe.

We will need a girl Friday. Pauline. Obvious.

Some cannibles. No shortage there!

Who's playing My Crusoe??

Unfortunatly. Do not need any boats. Cos they'd escape, so no panto.

Who's going to write the script??

Once upon a time. Dick Whitington was walking down the side of the thames. Great big bundle attatched to a long stick over his shoulder and feeling totaly knackered, he spied the motorboaties gliding by. He said. Bugger this for a game of soldiers, am going to get a boat and become a sailor.........>>>>

Come aboard said pussy. And bring you cat with you. Your just in time for dinner and I have to feed the crew. So reaching up pussy rang the enourmous bell and very slowly the crew appeared from down the hatch. There was Long John Silver, who'd come as himself. Cos I could not think of nufink funnier.>>>>>>>>>>>

Widow wanky took took pussy down a Jacob’s ladder , which was a bit rickety, as it was racked with woodworm, despite years of enbalming rum being dribbled onto it’s rungs. “Jeepers!” said Pussy, “I know what you need for that. In a flash of her wand a giant size bottle of soltron appeared before their very eyes.
“Dowse it with this , and you will be alright said Pussy.
“Will it kill the woodworm?” asked the animal loving Wanky.
“NO- but they will fall asleep for a hundred years” replied puss.
The wrinkly Widow Wanky smiled in approval. “ Come and meet my motley crew.” She sighed, pointing to a table, around which were seated seven short men wearing long pointed hats in red and green.
Aside Pussy| We seem to be in the wrong pantomime here.
Just then the seven little men burst into song.
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, To Cutey Col”s boat we go.
We work all night to put bits right
Hi ho , hi ho.

How delightful said Pussy. You must be hungry now.
Oh yes, Oh yes they nodded in unison Churchill bulldog style.

Aside: Love to Martin and Erica and the dogs, if you are reading this.)

Great Script Tutts - Much better cast than my idea. Harrys contribution is somewhat lacking at the moment - is he being difficult because he hasn't got top billing?

Sorry Tutts but in all the time I've been wasting on this forum I have never seen your real name but seeing you must have the patience of an angel to put up with Haydn I would guess its something like Mother Theresa.
