I found it an easy don't-have-to-use-your-brain-much watch. I didn't expect much from it. I've never not liked Sheridan Smith in anything I've seen her in.

Watched the first 10 minutes of this load of kack..it was just awful, wooden acting from John Bishop, seen better acting in Neighbours, I see the ratings weren't very good either..it was more Pants than Panto!

Thanks - I understand that bit now. I must confess though, since you didn't supply any context, I don't know what your comment actually meant, or even what it referred to.
Turns out the lad playing John Bishop's son, IS John Bishop's son in real life! I quite enjoyed it overall - wouldn't say it was wonderful but passed a happy hour away.
It's a shame there are a lot of negative comments on here. My daughter and I watched a recording of this, this afternoon and laughed all the way through. It was hilarious, and a very true representation of panto.
It may help that we belong to an amateur dramatic society and put on a panto every year, but for us it just all rang very true and we thought the lines, the script and the acting were great.

I know someone that went to Lancaster Grand's (real) production of Dick Whittington - apparently the TV show used the same scenery and some of the am dram actors were extras. The theatre had quite a few people asking to buy tickets based on the posters outside!

Did you also know that the theatre this was filmed in has a heavy role in the formtion of NODA? Just across from this theatre in Lancaster, the Lancaster Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (LADOS) used to rehearse and they performed their annual show in this theatre. Many members of the Footlights (who own this theatre but are amateurs) also used to perform in LADOS. NODA came about because they were performing a new musical that had become available to amateurs but were not sure how to perform it. They knew that Barrow's amateurs had done it so asked for their advice and expertise and it was thought that would be a good idea for all amateurs around the country. Hence, NODA was formed and when they had their centenary around the millennium, it was held in this very theatre. Indeed, LADOS went on to have some very big musical amateur premieres, including Oliver and Annie.... This theatre is also the third oldest provincial theatre in the country, built in 1782.
