Description
We're back with a Christmas bang and another clean episode of the pod, in language at least if not topic. For those with a keen ear, this episode dropped at 2.30pm, a perfect little nod to panto, a medium both of my guests know all too well. Today we have two heavyweights of the stage, Eric Potts and Brad Fitt, both of whom have been wowing audiences for years performing as Dames every Christmas in UK Panto, a genre I myself was involved with for a decade. Eric brings us memories of Classic Christmas Television and disturbing children's shows while Brad and I discuss the tricky task of protecting our kids from unsavoury imagery, the genius of Larry Grayson, and how a theatre tour of India in 2004 scarred us both. Being a Christmas episode, there is much talk of Morcambe & Wise, Dr Who and surprisingly, the fad that is Prime. If you like what you hear please Follow us on Social Media using the links below.
