» Cover Feature: Festive Shows

From traditional pantomimes, Christmas shows and concerts, to sensational West End and Broadway hits and classical ballet, Andrew Kay finds that audiences have the widest choice of seasonal entertainment

Panto fans don’t come much bigger than me, in both size and passion.
I am seldom happier than when I am watching a good old fashioned pantomime. I love the cross dressing, the audience songs, the “It’s behind you” and “Oh, no it isn’t” silliness of the whole thing. I don’t even object to the odd soap star treading the festive boards to draw in an audience.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
