Pantomimes

[Dave Homewood]

Here are some photos with lots of Croft and Perry actors together in Panto:


Only one London theatre will have the traditional Pantomime this Christmas and that's the London Palladium. The £350,000 production will be “Dick Whittington” starring the young comedian Jim Davidson. The stars of the show got together for the first time. Including lovely young blonde actress Jacqueline Redding. Left to right; the stars of Dick Whittington outside the Palladium today (Sunday) see, the illusionist; Melvyn Hayes; Lionel Blair; Jackie Redding; Jim Davidson; Mollie Sugden; Windsor Davies; Clive Dunn and Victor Spinetti.

What a lovely idea for a thread, Dave.

[Dave Homewood]

Thanks. I am sure there must be others with the Hi-De-Hi, AYBS, and IAHHM cast too.

The same cast but a different photo than the one Dave posted.

I noticed that the Dick Whittington panto ran for at least six years in
different venues with Lesley Joseph, John Nettles and Jeffrey Holland
playing the same characters for five out of six years. However, the part of
Alderman Fitzwarren was played by various actors including Bill Pertwee,
Windsor Davies, Nicholas Parsons, Vince Hill and Hilary Minster.

I have a few panto programmes featuring DA stars - I'll try and scan them in and share them at some point

Another couple of posters featuring Windsor/Don and John Inman and Arthur English.

A few more posters - the first one on the left has a few of
the cast from 'It Aint Half Hot, Mum.'




A variation on a poster from earlier - faces included on this one.

Some images of Bill and Clive in Panto.

We used to go every year to Richmond Theatre in the 70's when the children were small
