Principal boys used to be girls-now they are boys. This year we have Jimmy Tarbuck at the London Palladium. But at the Victoria Theatre, Salford, there's Bryan Johnson. Remember him? Runner-up at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1960. This year he's Robin Hood.
But Nurse Twinkle is a man-Ronnie Coyles. He lives in a flat in Morecambe, far from the sea. The summer season is over, so until opening night he must watch his savings carefully. Rehearsals are hard work but unpaid. That is how pantomime survives.
Man Alive goes behind the scenes and traces Babes in the Wood from its early birth pangs right through to the grand finale when Robin gets his Maid Marian and the Sheriff of Nottingham hies off to the woods with Nurse Twinkle-all in Salford, Lancs.
