There is of course a dark side to panto because there are always baddies and you can't have a baddie without a dark side. But most of the time the baddies become good.

We all have our own areas where we are gifted or where we struggle and that's at the heart of everyone's journey.

If someone came up with a new idea for a pantomime that worked, then that would be great but we shouldn't step away from Jack and the Beanstalk, Aladdin or Mother Goose.

You wouldn't get rid of the Mona Lisa just because someone painted another picture of a woman smiling.

People love the traditional pantomimes and I don't think we need to disregard that tradition.

Although it may be the easiest, it's not always the best.

I love London. I know it's an old saying but there's always something to do, so much so that when you live here you end up not actually doing much!
