PantoSplaining: Episode 4 - Bradford 1979
from Pantosplaining · host Ben Baker and John Matthews
Finally, PantoSplaining finds its way to God's own county...oh, never mind its Bradford. Just a bit of humour due to Ben Baker's proximity to that city throughout his life as he shows John Matthews around the place as they head towards the mighty Alhambra which has been home to all the stars - like Bill Maynard who headlines this "meowgic" production of "Dick Whittington and his Cat". Is it a real cat? Who can say? Not Ayesha who didn't even turn up but luckily they've got back up from panto royalty, the TV Personality of the Year 1953, some potentially troubling puppet "fun", a cricketing mainstay and whatever the blinking foof The Magic 'Pop' Glade was. Were you there? Or do you just want to talk panto posters of all kinds? Get in contact here: https://bsky.app/profile/pantosplaining.bsky.social
