YOUR picture with the report about the Grand Opera House's next panto held me spellbound. Snow White was never like this.

Perhaps pantomime has come on leaps and bounds down the decades and this sets the future trend.

If it's a clash between Berwick Kaler's bosom or Kate Ridley's, my vote is firmly with Kate.

Eat your heart out, Berwick Kaler.
