Seen a few. Enjoyed fewer. The ugly sisters strip tease through about 10 layers of underwear with more and more salacious jokes on their voluminous bottoms probably the best.

I hope somebody reviews "the gang show" which I suspect is past it's use by, we're saturated with talent shows online.

The culture which kept "down at the old bull and bush" alive on TV up to the 80s has a lot to do with this. We ditched harlequin despite it lying at the heart of panto, and kept the dance numbers.
