@ Sundae: there's a brilliant funny Doctor Who audio play called The One Doctor which is a complete homage to pantomime. I must get you a copy of it, you'd love it. It's the Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker, who is a stalwart of pantomime when he isn't doing Doctor Who stuff. It's so funny. Full of lewd innuendo, that kids won;t fully get, in that way that panto always is:
On encountering 'the crystal':
Doctor: Good Lord
Mel: Look at the size of it Doctor!
Doctor: I've never seen one that big before!
Made me chuckle. Even the supporting characters have names that refer to pantomime roles. One of them is called Banto Zane!
Actors include: Matt Lucas, Nicholas Pegg and (naturally in a pantomime) Christopher Biggins!
