It's the same every year:

- She speaks wistfully of what an amazing interpretation the panto will be, complete with overly complicated words, some said in a French accent
- There's a disaster when a key member of the cast drops out, but Lynda saves the day anyway
- There are several disastrous auditions where Lynda barks at the cast who just take it lying down, despite the fact no real life volunteer would tolerate being spoken to like that
- They pull it off against all odds delivering an amazing panto to an audience that sounds like the Albert Hall, despite it being a small village play
- Tristram Hawkshaw writes a top review in the Borchester Echo and Lynda is hailed as a hero”

So true.
She said 'Jeux de scène' one year. I remember because I had to google it.
It means 'stage or theatre business'.
