With panto season rapidly approaching, it's time to take a brief look at some memorable pantomimes of yesteryear.
While many believe that John Nathan-Turner was the first to use his Doctor Who connections to sell a few extra tickets for his annual celebrity panto, let's turn back the clock to the early 1970s and see how other production teams rose to the challenge...
In what can only be a performance of "Aladdin", we can plainly see Roger Delgado, Barry Letts and, erm... Terrance Dicks letting their hair down for the festive season.
But where, I hear you cry, is Jon Pertwee? Never one to shy away from dressing up (or publicity in general), you would have thought he would have been on hand to join in the fun.
Sorry, my mistake...
