I hadn't realised I'd seen the first of the pantos at the Palladium since they returned - I assumed I wasn't quick enough to catch on that it was just as much for adults as children, but apparently I did and I assume that Paul & Julian in the cast list gave it away really. Shockingly it was the only time I saw Paul on stage. I've had tickets for every one since but have missed two (Covid, trains) and can't imagine stopping any time soon.
