Behind You!
‘BEHIND YOU!
Oh, pantomimes can be sooo frustrating. How is it that Buttons cant see a huge 7ft gorilla standing behind him? How comes he cant even smell him?
But should we expect any more from a former soap actor who hasnt yet spotted that the dashing prince is a woman and the cow hes taking to market sounds like that that weather girl off the telly? Perhaps not.
Best just to sit back and enjoy the show. And to cheer along as Stu Francis (Ooo, I could crush a grape!) invites a few audience members to join him on stage.
But whats this? Usually, this dash to win a piece of Turkish delight is contested between a gaggle of four to eight year olds. But here comes 41-year-old Ricky Knight. The Mirror looks on as Knight dashes on stage to ask Julie Matthews to marry him. And shes only gone and said Oh, yes I will.
Meanwhile, over in Fareham, Hants, the panto has adopted a sombre tone. Stars are appealing for information in the ongoing hunt for Toga the penguin.
The Sun hears from ventriloquist Keith Harris. Looking at his fluffy green bird Orville, Harris says: Orville is an orphan and knows what its like to be alone.
Were all so worried, adds Big Brothers Kemal, playing a Fairy God-Diva in Cinderella at Portsmouth.
And Home & Aways Ray Meacher, in Aladdin at Bournemouth, Dorset, says: Anyone with information should come forward.
And if the stars cant get you to talk, what about the £25,000 reward on offer? Now, where is he, kids? Behind you!’
