Christmas Tour - The pantomime.

We went to see the Torquay pantomime again this Christmas (our third in a row)
This years star was that fella who used to be in Brookside, Popeye or Sinbad, yes Sinbad that was his name in the show.

There is a rather funny photograph of Sinbad in his costume below, it is rather revealing in that his trousers are perhaps a little bit tight, maybe he had too many cream teas whilst in Devon.

The Dame who had truly fabulous outfits
This little line up of classic pantomime peeps included from left to right: Mark Jackson, Phil Randall, Emmerdale's Stuart Wade and Michael Stark (otherwise known as Sinbad)

Here is the actor Michael Stark (otherwise known as Sinbad) with rather strange trousers.



The next day i even saw "Muddles" Emmerdale's Stuart Wade in Sainsbury's in Torquay, he was at the checkout in front of me, i wouldn't have known it was him at all if the checkout girl hadn't asked him what he would be doing for New Year and he hadn't said well i'll be in panto doing Snow White.
I at this point immediately started talking to him, telling him that we had gone the night before and that we had really enjoyed it, which was a slight exaggeration, but i couldn't exactly tell him that it was quite similar to last years and the story was quite loosely based around the original disney film of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But hey i enjoyed seeing him in the flesh, he
was quite shy and a little bit handsome.
