Oh, Yes It Is!

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

Radio 2 Arts Programme Gyles Brandreth explores pantomime, the country's most popular form of theatre. Consisting of a romantically farcical fairy tale set to music, peopled with men dressed as women, women dressed as men, humans dressed as animals, and packed with spectacle and slapstick, topical jokes and old chestnuts, community singing and audience participation, it's a phenomenal phenomenon. In 15 scenes interspersed with music, using archive material and interviews,
Gyles Brandreth takes us to the panto.
