I went to the pantomime last night – the Oban version of Sleeping Beauty. There is nothing quite like live, interactive entertainment. That is to say there is nothing like being there. Pantomime does not work on TV, not enough chance to shout He's behind you or to boo and hiss at the Wicked Witch. It was great to try and spot the people I knew – always hard behind greasepaint and costume – and wonderful to see the full cast at the final line-up. Long may the tradition last.
Oh yes it will……
