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. June 1980 - Image ID: B5AHN1  From the TV show It Aint 'ALF 'Ot Mum with Melvyn Hayes (Gloria) playing Dame Trot and John Clegg (Gummer Graham) as the Sheriff - with a beard - joining forces with Dad's Army squadies Ian Lavender and Bill Pertwee as The Robbers in Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood, at Lewisham Concert Hall.

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

 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

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.

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