Dear Broadsheet,
There’s a poster for this someone’s put up in my workplace. Confuses me every time I see it. Raises so many questions! Are those real tattoos? Aren’t pantomimes really hard work? He’s lovely actually, isn’t he? And also: how did this come about? What is this? Where am I?

Do they still believe in fairytales?
Have they heard Michael Lowry’s Tipp FM interview?
Would they like to go to the panto this Christmas?
We have one – yes ONE – family ticket (2 adults, 2 children) to see Cinderella at the Gaiety Theatre [Dublin] this Xmas in association with Tayto (spoiler alert: The handsome Prince likes salt ‘n’ vinegar). to give away.
To enter, Just finish this sentence.
The child/children that I know deserves/deserve the panto tickets because…

Cinderella at The Gaiety Theatre (with Tayto)
There was lots of “Hello sailor” yesterday as Torchwood star John Barrowman met up with The Krankies again.
Glasgow-born John was back in his home town to launch Robinson Crusoe And The Caribbean Pirates at the tall ship Glenlee.
He and Krankies Ian and Janette Tough teamed up last year in Aladdin and they will be reunited for the SECC panto from December 17 to January 7.
In fact, John can’t wait to jump into bed with them.
He said: “I’m Robinson and my twin is Jimmy Crusoe. It’s like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in Twins.
“My dad is Captain Crusoe played by Ian. There is a big bedroom scene where we all go to bed. That will be hysterical.”

Yesterday at the Olympia. Cinderella and her two fairy godbrothers. For all you Jedheads (you can stop writing now). Just click the arrows at the side and view the first twins since the ones in The Shining to scare the bejasus out of Broadsheet.
