I got an email off endemol saying they might have some tickets left for the bb panto if i wanted to go, someone also told me they'd pay for my ticket to bristol which was nice of them.
Im still tryin to decide wether to go or not though, i guess it could be quite funny and it'd be cool if i got to meet spencer and marco!
Is anyone off here going and Does anyone know how big the theatre is or anything?

I got the same email but im not old enough! Also, the price of a train ticket to Bristol from Leicester is £45, something which i've not got

Does this sound like they've anticipated too many people going, but in truth, not enough are interested?

i live in bristol and have heard zilch promotion for this. went to see julian clary in cinderella just b4 xmas at the hippodrome and have noticed it is still running until (and including) the 9th jan. is the BB panto going to be at the hippodrome or elsewhere????

I thought it was a bit unusual. By looking at the size of the theatre on the T4 show, it didn't seem that big. Maybe they just want some of the viewers to go?

ah right is hte place where its helpd quite small? They said something in the email about possibly havin to be filmed for the show!
SO i guess they want the audience to participate in the show.. and yep you've got to be over 18 which is a bit strange for a panto!

well if they are indeed performing at the bristol hippodrome (and using the sets from julian clary's cinerella) it will be a big affair. the hippodrome is huge. the world premiere of mary poppins was held there recently.

this is the adress of where its held
Endemol West
Paintworks 6.3
Bath Road
Bristol
BS4 3EH

So a pretty much purpose-built theatre then?

i have a feeling this is very close to (if not inside) the HTV west television studios. so won't be in a huge venue. probably where the telethons are filmed for the bristol area.

this is a link to some news on the subject via my local council site.....

really? They mustnt have many people actually going to it then.
Do ya reckon hey'd mind if i boo cinders and cheer for the ugly step sisters.. (and for marco of course!)

They'll be lucky to get a couple of dozen - numbers will have to be made up from members of staff and passers-by paid to come in off the street !!!!!

You will be told precisely when to boo and when to cheer.

The booing will be fixed to suit £ndemol's chosen one

yep they said you have to get there 2 hours before the show starts so i presume thats so they can tell you when and where to boo\cheer etc.. but as the show is live they cant really do anything if i dont follow the instructions they give me!
Na just kiddin i have intention whatsoeva in booing jade.

Every night on the show they say that the panto will be live in a purpose built studio. They might even mention '800' people, but I don't pay that much attention........

I took this to mean it will be in the television studios and not in a theatre.

Could that be "A hundred" ?????

Could even be 'eight'.............


Must listen more carefully tonight..............

They were in the theatre for the T4 show, it is basically to the right of the great hall (when facing the fireplace) through the fire exit...can't hold many at all, but we never got a good enough look on camera to tell just how many unfortunatly

ah right
was that the time when jeff and june were interviewing the hosuemates? I didnt realise you could fit an audience in there!
i might ring them up again tomorrow to find out more info about it!

No it was when june was interviewing the mentors, they were on the stage. At one point Jeff went around the back of the stage.

So is / has the panto happened or what ? There doesnt seem to have been much interest in the prog - did they kill it before the show or what ?

They are all on their New Year Break. I think they are back today with the highlights being tomorrow and the final panto being 9pm on Wednesday night.

they must have been rehearsing over the new year.
I think im probably gonna go to it. I wonder if any ex housemates will there, pj will probably go to support spencer. and alex for mel
