Finally here is the second part of the panto report. Sorry it took so long. Both I and the beta were busy with other deadlines and stuff, but better late than never right?

Link to part 1

Part 2:

Everyone back in their seat? Can we continue with part 2?

The curtain opened and we were in the huge ball room of Prince Charming. He and Dandini sang the song Best song ever by One Direction as a duet, with the dancers dancing in the background. Me being stupid as usual thought the title was “Best song of Earth”. Well, it made sense. I have never ever heard the word “ever” be pronounced with emphasis on the last syllable. I’m used to the way it is in the song “Well, did you evah”. And these are enough evers for now.

The prince also complained that some idiot turned up and ruined the scene when he was trying to declare his love to Cinderella. Wonder who that could have been…? ;)

Then Dandini announced more guests, which was Baron Hardup, and the ladies Sadie and Senga. Who had the famous line of “The Prince’s balls get bigger every year.” Yeah. I’m just letting it stand there ;)

Quickly it was established who the prince really was and who the servant was, and then some light entertainment was announced. I should probably mention that the two ladies were dressed as – chandeliers? I was somehow reminded of the servants in “Beauty and the Beast”.

But before that, the last guest and the one the prince was waiting for, came down the stairs: Princess Starlight, also known as Cinderella. She even had her own theme song to go with the entrance. Wow!

Then the prince and Cinderella danced the first dance of the evening, a waltz version of “A moment like this”. Those who already have seen John in his Robinson Crusoe panto will know that he sang it there.

Everyone elegantly waltzed out of the room, leaving the stage empty. That’s when Button and Zip were able to sneak down the stairs. Sometimes Janette walked on her own legs or had her hands on John’s bum, other times John just carried her (and using the opportunity to touch her in inappropriate places although it did not look like she minded at all). John was still in his red coachman uniform.

They talked about going undercover (those who have seen “Jack and the Beanstalk” knew what to expect, the others were in for a funny surprise) and Janette deadpanned: “Last time I went under the covers with you I lost my trumpet!” LOL

But no, Buttons meant undercover like James Bond. Zip was now doing a Sean Connery impression. See, I only have seen his movies with German dubbing, so I had no idea he’s apparently lisping? I’m not even sure how to spell this, but I’m trying: “The name’sh Bond. Shames Bond. And you are a shite.”

Buttons understandably looked very shocked at that last statement. “What?!????”

“… a shite for shore eyesh.” LOOOOOOOOOOL (sight for sore eyes)

With that, John shoved Zip out of the side door, and the rest of the party came back in.

The „light entertainment“ that had been announced earlier turned out to be quite heavy entertainment ;) Sadie and Senga entered the stage dressed in skinny pants and with a huge upper chest. And I mean huge. With big boobs. They started singing and dancing to the song I’m all about that bass by Meghan Trainor. I have to quote the text to give you the right image:

Yeah it's pretty clear I ain't no size two... - Read on under the Cut )

Remember, back in January John already talked about this - but then nothing came out of it, and both the BBC and Russel T. Davies said they have no idea.

Well, now it is indeed official! In his radio show a few hours ago John Barrowman announced that he recorded the first of many Big Finish Torchwood audio dramas.

This is the place to go to order them - the first one will be out in September

"Apologies to any of you trying to get on the site. The popularity of our Torchwood announcement has taken us a little by surprise and the vast, unprecedented number of visitors to our site is causing us some problems. We thought we were prepared. How could we have underestimated the great power of Torchwood?"

"You'll be pleased to know it's a bit of a hybrid - a mix of narration and full performance scenes, plus a couple of special extra touches. It's going to be a lot of fun!"

"The great thing is, this is just the start for Torchwood. We have the whole toy box to play with, and we share the continuity from the previous books, comics and audio plays, not to mention the tv series. You can be sure we're looking ahead at with lots of new ideas past these first 6 plays."

It's true!
